i want to have a drop down menu that interacts with my mysql db. all that i need help with is getting the options in a single column into the drop down menu as an <option> . for example, my db is for track: name,event,time, school for event, i want a drop down menu that will let me select whatever events are present in the event column of my db. such as the 55, 1600, 3200, etc. so how would i go about doing this?
