Actually turns out the above code was not working properly. it needs
to be this:
$query = "SELECT SEC_TITLE
FROM section
WHERE SEC_TITLE != ''";
$result = mysql_query($query);
echo "<form action='#'>\r\n<select name=section>\r\n";
while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
$section = $line[0];
echo " <option value=$section>$section\r\n";
}
This allows the client to select a section from a dynamically
generated drop down box, when they submit the form whatever section
they selected get placed in the section field of the new row in the
category table. i need the ids from the section table to be the same
as the corresponding categories added. so if i create a section called
Jack and it has an (auto increment) id of 1. And then i create a
category called Jack's Pale by selecting Jack from my drop down box.
My category table should populate a row with the CAT_TITLE=Jack's
Pale, CAT_SECTION=Jack and CAT_ID=1
Everything is working except i can not figure out how to grab the
SEC_ID and send it along with the SEC_TITLE
