MySQL Dropdown
Is there a way to make a dropdown by getting the options directly from the database? And I'm using this as a form so it has to have a name so I can call upon the value and do something to it.
Example to what I want to do:
- I have a database table named members and in that table, it has 3 columns - name, age, sex.
What I want to do is make a dropdown inside a <form> using the data from the database. And then when the person selects the name of the member and presses submit, it deletes the row with that name from the table and the database.

Dynamic Dropdown And Hardcode Dropdown In Select Form
I have plenty of examples of dynamic dropdown choices but none of hardcoded dropdown choices. The ultimate goal is to have a job with various tasks and to track the status of those tasks for a given job. I've used one of the tutorials here to begin the process. Below is the code I have to add work on a given task. Perhaps I actually need to "Update" a job as opposed to "add". But the problem of the moment is I can't seem to hardcode one set of my options. This is the code I have: PHP Code:

Pagination And Dropdown Menu Used In Searching Mysql
I am working on building a database made for searching. I have a text search and a dropdown box used for searching different table collumns (lets people search for certan criteria). I have that working correctly. I also only want to show 25 results per page. I have that working correctly. My problem is that when I combine the two it breaks the code. The pagination works fine without the dropdown and vice versa. I think it is due to the variable that is being used to choose the collumn in the sql query. Code:

What would be the best way to repeat the code without repeating all of the code. Basically looking at an more economical way to do things. Would you do a while statement and loop through them or maybe a single array and call it when you need it. Any opions?

Dropdown Box With Search
I am seeking to create a page that has a drop down and depending on the drop down I choose allows me to search tables within my sql based on that chosen drop down. Similar to the one found at www.imdb.com but the drop down would be a list of the tables within the dba that the user could search. The purpose is to create a search box where an runn can enter in his name or bib number and select the year he wishes to view his resutls. The search would then look within the table of the year selected and display the runners info. I am not sure on how to accomplish this. If anyone knows of some resources that i can read or if anyone knows others who have done this and are willing to share knowlege.

Remember Selected Value DropDown
I am attempting to have a drop down menu that displays url from 1 table called links the same table also contains a name for the url. i.e. google.com = name and http://www.google.com = url The value of just the url from links is stored in a separate table called users in a field named search after form is submitted by user. Everything Posts correctly except when go back to edit the record and submit the form the drop down box does not retain the value of what had been previously selected although it is the correct record until form is updated when whatever value is currently in the drop down list will update the record. I know the code is doing exactly what it is told to do, because I have no functionality in it to recall the value from the field search in the users table. I don't know if it is something I would have to add to the array or option value. I can get it to work if it is all hard coded, but I am attempting not to do this.

Maximum Dropdown Size
I have a strange issue with dropdowns. Using php4, mySQL5, Apache 2 on a fast XP pro PC, I have a form which requires 5 dropdowns populated with indentical values. I extract the values using SQL and populate 2 variables and use a for-next loop to create the dropdown. The dropdown contains some 310 items! It works beautifully if I have 1 or 2 dropdowns but as soon as I add more it partially creates the 3rd and just stops until it times out! All 5 work because I have altered their positions but it always stops part way through creating the 3rd dropdown. I tried an alternative method by doing away with the variables and constructing the dropdowns with a 'while' statement reading through the results of my SQL and got exactly the same problem only 2 and a bit dropdowns. Stopping it running after a few seconds or several minutes makes no difference, it seems to reach a certain point and just stop - no error messages or anything! I have tried increasing the resourses in my php.ini file but this also made no difference. Can anyone suggest an alternative or a fix?
