PHP array and select list

Question

I want to use php array for HTML select list. In this case it will be the list of countries but beside of country name that is listed in drop down list I need as a value of

Answer 1

Use foreach(), it's the best function to loop through arrays

your array should look like jakenoble posted

-----------------
 $value):
echo ''.$value.''; //close your tags!!
endforeach;
?>

I also made some minor adjustements to your html code. The first option in the list will be selected by default so no need to specify it ;)

EDIT: I made some edits after reading your question again
