I need to make a list pulled from a MySQL table usable for options in a drop down box.

When I put the HTML in the class (I know it should not really be there) is pulls the data and formats is correctly. It then throws it at the top of my page, before the Smarty template kicks in.

When I try to pass the results to a Smarty variable and let the template handle the HTML, it generates "Array" on the HTML output.

I am sure that I am way off base in how I am trying to do this. This is my first module. Is there a good example of the proper way to do this?

Thanks,

There's a handy SMARTY function for generating select options.


pass an array with value-name pairs ($array[1] => "something" will give <option value='1'>something</option>) and you should be all set.

Thank you sooo much. It worked great!
