well im sorta confused of how to accomplish this script.. I want to make a drop down menu to select creatures from to battle. and something else im confused about is making an experience echo from current to next...
srry on android.

make your creature query
then you are going to do a while loop

Code: Select all

while($creatureinfo3 = mysql_fetch_array($creatureinfo2)) {
echo "<select>
         <option>$creatureinfo3['name']</option>
        </select>";
}

thx man. so simple lol. so.. what about exp though. I have no idea

[Xaleph]

Code has a bug, this way you create a select for every monster right?

echo 'select name="monster">';

while(){
echo $someMonsterVal;
}

echo '</select>';

Code: Select all

By Nexus:

Code: Select all
    while($creatureinfo3 = mysql_fetch_array($creatureinfo2)) {
    echo "<select>
             <option>$creatureinfo3['name']</option>
            </select>";
    }

The only problem is that you are creating a select for each $creature. That`s not good right? You want all creatures in 1 select. So i`m suggesting to echo the select outside the while loop.

Code: Select all

    echo '<select>';
    while($creatureinfo3 = mysql_fetch_array($creatureinfo2)) {
    echo "<option>$creatureinfo3['name']</option>";
    }
    echo '</select>';
