listbox with invisible column

[johntigner]

is it possible to have a dropdown with two fields from a table ... but only show one field?

Just use <input type="hidden"> for whatever you need to do.

Do you mean this where only the description is visible. The values attached to each description are the ids

<?php
$res = mysql_query ("SELECT id, description FROM atable");

echo "<select name='mydropdown'>";
while (list($id, $description) = mysql_fetch_row($res))
{
    echo "<option value='$id'>$description</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
