PHP Code Snippets Episode 2 - Use An Array To fill a Option Box

Making a simple array

First of all we are going to make a simple array..

For this example i will just make a basic array, however you could use a mysql_fetch_array() to read data from a database to make your array then continue with step 2.

I will show you the basics of this in my next tutorial.

Example

<?php 
$options = ["option_1","option_2","option_3","option_4","option_5","option_6"];
?> 
 
<form>
	<select name="example">
		<?php 
			foreach($options as $choice) { 
				echo '<option value="'.$choice.'">'.$choice.'</option>'; 
			} 
		?>
	</select>
</form>

As you can see this will give you all the options from the array into your option choices.

I hope this little snippet will help.
