I'm using Dreamweaver's "Update Record" form wizard to create a record
update page. Most of the fields are "text", one is "file" and I want one of
them to be a "menu". The "menu" field should be populated with the fields
of another table.

Here's the problem... If I leave all of the fields as text input fields,
the form works fine. But, as soon as I change the "manufacturers" field to
a drop-down menu populated with entries from another table, I get the
following error when accessing the page...

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or
`T_NUM_STRING' in
/home/s/k/user992816/html/RobesonWeb/admin/adminEditSpecials.php on line
106

line 106 reads...

<option value="<?php echo $row_rs_RobesonWebManufacturer['manufacturer']?>"
<?php if (!(strcmp($row_rs_RobesonWebManufacturer['manufacturer'],
"$row_rs_RobesonWebSpecials[\'manufacturer\']"))) {echo "SELECTED";}
?>><?php echo $row_rs_RobesonWebManufacturer['manufacturer']?></option>

Needless to say, this line is embedded in this Php code to create the
drop-down menu...

<select name="manufacturer">
<?php 
     do {  
     ?>
          <option value="<?php echo
$row_rs_RobesonWebManufacturer['manufacturer']?>" <?php if
(!(strcmp($row_rs_RobesonWebManufacturer['manufacturer'],
"$row_rs_RobesonWebSpecials[\'manufacturer\']"))) {echo "SELECTED";}
?>><?php echo $row_rs_RobesonWebManufacturer['manufacturer']?></option>
     <?php
           } while ($row_rs_RobesonWebManufacturer = mysql_fetch_assoc
$rs_RobesonWebManufacturer));
?>
</select>

What's up? These "drop-downs from another table" work fine in "Add" forms.
They just seem to crap out in "Update" forms. It was suggested that I
needed to create recordsets for both the menu and the rest of the form. I
did that and the form still doesn't work. Attached is the entire page
for consulting. I've also posted this message on Dreamweaver's newsgroup
but haven't been getting any responses so thought I'd see if this group had
any suggestions.

Thanx,
