The following is a specific example from my roster system tied into my .Threads install.

In this example I populate a drop down box for my members to choose from a list of possible classes avaiable on EverQuest.

All this comes from a globals file I use so I can keep my templates cleaner and this code is used on multiple pages.

----
Query

Code
 $EQClass_query = mysql_query("SELECT EQClassID, EQClass<br />	FROM {$config['tbprefix']}eqclass ORDER BY EQClass"); 


Code for drop down box

Code
 <br /><br />// Build the class select box<br />$selecteqclass_select = "<select name=\"EQClassID\" class=\"formboxes\">";<br /><br />while ($class = mysql_fetch_array($EQClass_query)){<br />	extract($class,EXTR_PREFIX_ALL,"v");<br />	{  <br />		$selecteqclass_options .= "<option value=\"$v_EQClassID\">$v_EQClass</option>";  <br />	}<br />}<br /><br />$selecteqclass_end .= "</select>"; 


How I implement it on the template file

Template code

Code
 <b>Class:</b><br />$selecteqclass_select<br />$selecteqclass_options<br />$selecteqclass_end<br /><br /> 


And finally, an example is attached as to how it displays.

Hope that helps some.
