Looks to me like a HTML question more than it is a PHP one, but you do it something like this:

CODE

<select name="mydropdownlist">
<?php
    $options = array('option1' => 'option 1'
                 'option2' => 'option 2'
                 'option3' => 'option 3');

    foreach($options as $value => $caption)
   {
        echo "<option value=\"$value\">$caption</option>";
   }
?>
</select>


In HTML you use the select tag name to create a drop down list and the option tag to create the values that will go into that list. In PHP I just used the associative array to create a list of values then looped through all of them and outputed them in HTML.

If you are able to use HTML or DHTML, this program is very useful:
