What I'm really trying to do is to make a dynamic dropdown list. Since the values ($ver1, $ver2, $ver3) depend somewhat on the date(in my actual script), they will vary from time to time and the dropdown list must get updated by directly refering to their current values. Can any one pls help??
I would guess that you run the external program to fetch the list, then print the HTML to the user. I'm not exactly sure where your problem is, as both things have been treated already in the replies you got.
