Comments on the above code

You can paste the above code into any PHP script on your server to generate the <select> menu. You must put the file 'combo.php' in the same folder as that of your script.

Notice the $myselect->SelectedData line. You can choose the initial preselected item in the menu by providing its value in this line. That's why in the above menu 'Third Item' is selected by default.

Values assigned to ListData and ListItem can be gathered from a database or a file or any other dynamic input. Thus you can dynamically change the data in the menu.
