Here's code that will create a dropdown list of states. It uses functions
called getNames and getCodes that create arrays of the state names and state
codes. The functions that create the arrays are attached.
<select name="state">
<?php
$stateName=getNames();
$stateCode=getCodes();
for ($n=1;$n<=50;$n++)
{
$state=$stateName[$n];
$scode=$stateCode[$n];
echo "<option value='$scode'";
if ($scode== "AL")
echo " selected";
echo ">$state\n";
}
?>
</select>
Good luck,
Janet
