AndyB Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Assuming both these variables exist in the database and that the db contains data, what does the [b]generated html [/b]look like if you use this:[code]echo "<OPTION VALUE='". $record['fname']. "'>". $record['name']. "</option>";[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/7474-select-box-problam-please-help/#findComment-27225 Share on other sites More sharing options...
