// Description: This script will read in a plain file (ex: txt or xml) and //
// create and populate a dropdown list/menu. The script examines //
// a text file, creates an array (elements are seperated by a //
// hard return "\n", then empties the elements into a dropdown //
//
menu. //
//
//
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//
//
//
// Useage Example: We had a client who wanted many dropdown list ranging //
// in size from 50 elements to 3026+. We didn't feel like //
// retyping all those elements. Through this script we //
// were able to create on-the-fly menus that are easily //
//
edited. //

//array of file contents
$your_array = explode("\n",$contents_your_file);
//close the file

Is there something that I am missing?

for($counter = 0; $counter < $num_elmnts_array; $counter++){
that line should look like this
for($counter = 0; $counter < $num_elmnts_array;){
otherwise it adds 2 times in the counter.
Otherwise, this is what I was looking for, thanks

Sorry, I made a mistake :(
Original Code:
//For loop to begin
for($counter = 0; $counter < $num_elmnts_array; $counter++){
$your_menu .= "<option value=\"$your_variable\">$your_array[$counter]
</option>";
$counter++;
For this to work properly, you are right you must either remove the incrementing of the $counter in the for loop conditionals or at the end of the for loop. Remove one of them and this should work properly.
I have written a more advanced version of this using a mysql database and PHP classes.
If your interested email me :)
