Comma lists into drop down with PHP and MySQL
Is it possible to add a database list ie L, M, N, O dynamically into a drop down menu?
I have attached a couple of images to show what i mean.

Thanks for that,.
Just one thing though 'L,M,N,O' needs to be dynamic as there are different sizes for some products (even though the screenshot i attached typically showed two entries both with L,M,N,O!)
I have tried replacing 'L,M,N,O' with 'size' and '$size' but that does not seem to work.
Any ideas?

The code I posted was an example since I don't have the database.
Please have a look at the following example. I have posted the MySQL table for reference.
Hope this helps,

CREATE TABLE `tblitem` (
`id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`item` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`size` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=3 ;
--
-- Dumping data for table `tblitem`
--
INSERT INTO `tblitem` (`id`, `item`, `size`) VALUES
(1, 'Item 1', 'L,M,N,O'),
(2, 'Item 2', 'A,B,C,D');
If your string is anything (including a php variable) that is alphanumeric characters separated by commas, it will work.
$x="x";
$y="yyy";
$string = "L,M,$x,$y,ZZZ";
$array = explode(",",$string);
$array will then have 5 elements -- L M x yyy ZZZ
$x="x";
$y="yyy";
$string = "L,M,$x,$y,ZZZ";
$array = explode(",",$string);
$array will then have 5 elements -- L M x yyy ZZZ

Thanks again,
Sorry to be a apin but if i copy my pages code could you see where i'm going wrong?
The table where the product info resides is 'products' the recordset is 'rs_items' and the column is called size.
Also, here's a link to the site http://www.leylasbijoux.com/jewellery.php
Just click on any ring and you'll see the blank dropdown where the sizes should show.
Again, thanks for your patience!!!!!!!

I see the dropdown that says Size, and it contains choices...
All
L
M
N
Is that not correct?

Hi Yoder,
It's the option on the detail page not on the menu. It's where the user selects the size they want to purchase which is why the sizes are different for each product hence the need to dynamic.
Sorry about that, should have explained!

only you have to split this database value
$value=array which is return field of size
$size= split(",",$value);
simply you can get array after that show this array using for each
I hope useful for u.
Thanks

Perfect, thanks!
$string="L,M,N,O";
$array = explode(",", $string);
Then populate the dropdown from the $array elements using foreach() or similar array function.
