Select list help

[Kirkingly]

I want to create the following print_r results into a dynamic select list.. I have tried something like:

[PHP]<?php $prefixes = array(explode("\n", $board['topic_prefix_label']));

echo '<select name="tprefix">';
for($i = 0; $i < count($prefixes); $i++)
{
echo '<option value="'.$i.'">'.$prefixes[$i].'</option>';
}

echo '</select>';?>[/PHP]

But it just says array as I should've expected..

When I use:

[PHP] print_r(explode("\n", $board['topic_prefix_label']));[/PHP]

I get: Array ( [0] => Fun: [1] => Games: [2] => Stuff: )

And it is those that I wish to have in my select list.. any idea how to do this?

Thanks,
Kirkingly

Kirkingly: welcode to TSDN!

$prefixes is a 2-dim array where only the first entry (0) is used.
So your code should address the $prefixes[0] array to extract the values:
[php]
for($i = 0; $i < count($prefixes[0]); $i++)
{
echo '<option value="'.$i.'">'.$prefixes[0][$i].'</option>';
}[/php]

Thank you!

Works amazingly.. I didn't realise I had to have the 0, I am learning

Thanks a lot,
