The php code below, outputs a drop down / select menu in php.
| PHP Code: |
<?php
echo "<select name=\"ud_county\">";
// foreach example - loop through each entry in an array
$ukcounties = array("Aberdeenshire"," Anglesey"," Angus"," Antrim"," Argyllshire"," Armagh"," Ayrshire"," Banffshire"," Bedfordshire"," Berkshire"," Berwickshire"," Brecknockshire"," Buckinghamshire"," Buteshire"," Caernarfonshire"," Caithness"," Cambridgeshire"," Cardiganshire"," Carmarthenshire"," Cheshire"," Clackmannanshire"," Cornwall"," Cromartyshire"," Cumberland"," Denbighshire"," Derbyshire"," Devon"," Dorset"," Down"," Dumfriesshire"," Dunbartonshire"," Durham"," East Lothian"," Essex"," Fermanagh"," Fife"," Flintshire"," Glamorgan"," Gloucestershire"," Hampshire"," Herefordshire"," Hertfordshire"," Huntingdonshire"," Inverness-shire"," Kent"," Kincardineshire"," Kinross"," Kirkcudbrightshire"," Lanarkshire"," Lancashire"," Leicestershire"," Lincolnshire"," Londonderry"," Merioneth"," Middlesex"," Midlothian"," Monmouthshire"," Montgomeryshire"," Morayshire"," Nairnshire"," Norfolk"," Northamptonshire"," Northumberland"," Nottinghamshire"," Orkney"," Oxfordshire"," Pembrokeshire"," Peeblesshire"," Perthshire"," Radnorshire"," Renfrewshire"," Ross-shire"," Roxburghshire"," Rutland"," Selkirkshire"," Shetland"," Shropshire"," Somerset"," Staffordshire"," Stirlingshire"," Suffolk"," Surrey"," Sussex"," Sutherland"," Tyrone"," Warwickshire"," West Lothian"," Westmorland"," Wigtownshire"," Wiltshire"," Worcestershire"," Yorkshire");
foreach ( $ukcounties AS $elements )
{
print "<option value=\". $elements .\">". $elements ."</option>;/n";
}
echo "</select>";
