Hello Alp
Try something like,
<?php
//DB fields as an array
$db_fields = array('left' => 'left',
'center' => 'center',
'right' => 'right');
function drop($array,$sel_name='',$sel_field='',$css=''){
$dropdown = "<select name=\"$sel_name\" $css>\n";
foreach($arr as $key => $val){
$sel = ($sel_field == $key)?' selected="selected"':'';
$dropdown .= "\t".'<option
value="'.$key.'"'.$sel.'>'.$val.'</option>'."\n";
}
$dropdown .= "</select>\n";
return $dropdown;
}
usage:
echo drop($db_fields,'test_select','center');
?>
