Hi,

Welcome to The Scripts.

First of all you are going to need someway of retreiving the data from the database.

Once you have the data you can loop through the results and build up the select box definition.

Read this article on PHP Data Abstraction. This will help you get the dat aretreival sorted then look at the PHP Array handling methods, and the foreach loop. This coupled with how a Select is definied should see you straight.

I have done this several times but I think it's more beneficial if you have a go at this frst. If you get stuck post back with your code in code tags and I'll do what I can to help you out.
