Echo in Echo

Hi there,

First of thank you for reading.
I have the following issue.

I'm filling a select list dynamically with mysql and want the names
that are retrieved from de database to be changed by a DEFINE that
stated in other php file..
The first part works the names al get in the list but the DEFINE isn't
happening which is logic cause you have only one echo which is the
name from the database.
But putting an echo around that one doesn't work, does any of you have
a idea how to solve my issue.

Code:

<select id="objectTypeSelect" tabindex="2">
<?php
do {
?>
<option value=" <?php echo $row_getObjectTypes['id']?>"><?php echo
$row_getObjectTypes["shortname"] ?></option>
<?php
} while ($row_getObjectTypes = mysql_fetch_assoc($getObjectTypes));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($getObjectTypes);
if($rows 0) {
mysql_data_seek($getObjectTypes, 0);
$row_getObjectTypes = mysql_fetch_assoc($getObjectTypes);
}
?>
</select>


Thank you

Sincerely,

Jeroen

while" loop? You appear to be using $row_getObjectTypes in the echo
before assigning it with mysql_fetch_assoc. Unless you've already done
the mysql_fetch_assoc outside the code shown.

Also, why are you then doing a check if there are any rows in the result
afterwards? Surely, you need to check beforehand so you can prevent an
empty select input?

If anyone is interested in the solution the echo needed to be like
this:

<?php echo constant ($row_getObjectTypes["shortname"]) ?>

"How can I get the value of a PHP constant from a variable that contains
its name?"
