Hello. I'm using a drop-down select box to display data from my DB. This is a part of the form code:

<select size="1" label_over="0" hide_label="0" class=" validate['required']" title="" type="select" name="input_select_8">
<?php
foreach($form->data['ListaBancos'] as $detalle):
echo "<option value=".$detalle['nombreBanco']."</option>";
endforeach;
?>
</select>

It works but not quite. It actually displays all the elements it is supposed to, but the choices come up blank! My selectbox drops down 3 choices, and if I choose any of them, and then I click on Submit, it saves the data on the form correctly. But why does it have to show them blank?


Is there something I can do? Thank you very much!

HI salamilano,

The HTML for an option is

<option value="aaa" >bbbbb</option>

If you look at your code in this line

echo "<option value=".$detalle['nombreBanco']."</option>";

you can see that it will actually output

<option value=aaa</option>

To correct it make the line

echo "<option value='{$detalle['nombreBanco']}' >{$detalle['nombreBanco']}</option>";
