pro_php thread: Does any body know if its posible to create a select box on a form- dynamically?
Jorge,
I think the query and while statements still need some work.
Are you trying to read just the rows where the product
column equals $product? If so then try this:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT prod_num, producto FROM products WHERE
product = '$product'");
while ($qprod = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
$productsOptions .= "<option
value=".$qprod['prod_num'].">".$qprod['producto']."</option>";
}
