Not feeling too bright!
it has to be obvious but...
I am trying as per the code example to populate a DD box from an array
the box picks up the correct number but each value reads "array" instead of the array value
Code:
if ($quantity==1) { $q=array(1=>"1"); };
if ($quantity==2) { $q=array(1=>"1", 2=>"2"); }; 
if ($quantity==3) { $q=array(1=>"1", 2=>"2", 3=>'3'); }; 
	echo"<form><select name='quantity' onchange='pass_val(this.value)'>";
	echo"<option value=''>Select a number";
	foreach($q as $key => $value)
	{
	echo"<option value=$q>$q";
 	echo'</option>';
	}
	echo"</select></form><div id=\"show\"></div></td></tr>
";
Thanks
 
Of course because q is an array. You want the values stored in the array so:

Code:
 foreach($q as $key => $value)
    {
    echo"<option value=[red]$value[/red]>[red]$value[/red]";
     echo'</option>';
    }

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
 
vacunita, Thank you, yes you are indeed correct!
