I am using PHP and HTML to make the form. The server software is MySQL
database. I can pull information from the database fine, I just don't
know how to put the information into an HTML form as options in a drop
down box.

For example:

The table contains five records: OPTION1, OPTION2, OPTION3, OPTION4,
OPTION5.

I can pull the data from the table using an array, no problems there.
I can display the data, etc., just can't figure out how to put the
data into a form <option> tag.

Maybe something like this:
<form action="process.php" method="post">
<p>Select An Option:
<select name="program" style="color:#FF0000">
<option value="<?echo $program[ ] ; ?>" selected="selected"><?echo
$program[ ] ; ?></option>
<option value="<?echo $program[ ] ; ?>"><?echo $program[ ] ; ?></
option>
<option value="<?echo $program[ ] ; ?>"><?echo $program[ ] ; ?></
option>
<option value="<?echo $program[ ] ; ?>"><?echo $program[ ] ; ?></
option>
<option value="<?echo $program[ ] ; ?>"><?echo $program[ ] ; ?></
option>
</select>

Do you see what I'm trying to do now? I'm not sure if I'm making
myself clear enough. $program[ ] is the variable to hold the
information pulled from the database table.

Thanks again,

Cresh
