Question

Help adding a pulldown box that pulls from PHP array to form. I have created a hard coded version below. Basically I need this to happen by using a php array to pull the states from, and populate my pull down menu.

I have created a form to ask the viewer to select a state that will then post to my server via action= (this part works fine). I have created it "hardcoded" in the example below, but I need that row in my form to pull from a PHP array, and basically do the same as what I hardcoded.

<!--

<tr><td>
<label for="state">State:&nbsp;</label></td>
<td>

<select name="state" id="state">
   <option value="Select Desired State">Select Desired State</option>
   <option value="Georgia">Georgia</option>
   <option value="Alabama">Alabama</option>
   <option value="Flordia">Florida</option>
</select>
</td></tr>
