No it will give you the same value twice...
you need a loop
<SELECT NAME="state" SIZE="1">
<OPTION VALUE="Canberra">ACT</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="Victoria">VIC</OPTION>
looping the rows .,...{
echo "<OPTION VALUE=\"".$row['state']."\">".$row['state_abbr']."</OPTION>
";
}
</SELECT>

Subject: [PHP] <select name=....
if i have a form with a select box in it how an i get the values to echo a
php value ...
ie
<SELECT NAME="state" SIZE="1">
<OPTION VALUE="Canberra">ACT</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="Victoria">VIC</OPTION>
</SELECT>
can i change it to say
<SELECT NAME="state" SIZE="1">
<OPTION VALUE="<? echo $state ?>">ACT</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="<?echo $state ?>">VIC</OPTION>
</SELECT>
so that when the page loads it shows which ever option is in the Data base?
