Hey!

I was wondering, how would the code work if i had a drop down menu in my form instead of text that the user types? Like for example I would like to have set items for a user to choose then run that with php/mysql to locate the info and display it. How would i set the variables? Thanks you guys, I'm not the best at programming yet (ur book helped A LOT, Larry), so this, I hope, will be common knowledge to you guys.

thanks in advance!

There are examples in the book on how to do this. For creating a drop down list (aka pull-down menu) from the results of a MySQL query, see the chapter on Content Management (Chapter 11 in the 1st Edition). The add_url.php script (script 11.5) shows how to retrieve the url_types from a MySQL database, and create a pull-down menu from the results. The same script shows how to insert values selected from the pull-down menu into the database.
