Random question time!

How do you get the name and the id of the creature to show in a drop down list? I can get one or the other to show, but not both. I used to know this but now I seemed to have forgot- It would be nice to know how to do it again, and even how to get it to show images would be awesome!

Image I don't know if it's possible, but to add the code next to the name I don't really remember how I did it, but I believe I just went to the dropdown list creation and instead of sending just the name i send the code concatenated with the name, like:

$nameFinal = $name .= '( ' .= $code .= ')'

or something alike


edit:

I have this for females in the breeding thing

$index = 0;
foreach($femaleNames as $namesF){
//echo $femaleIDsarray[$index];
$equals = " (";
$equals2 = ")";
$nameAndID = $namesF .= $equals .= $femaleIDsarray[$index] .= $equals2;
//echo $nameAndID;

//echo $femaleIDsarray[$index];
$female->add(new Option($nameAndID, $femaleIDsarray[$index]));
$index++;
}

I can't seem to get it to work, I get this :
Adopt/Price:Cannot fill option objects inside this dropdownlist
As an error, code:

$ids = $mysidia->db->select("owned_adoptables", array("aid"), "owner = '{$mysidia->user->username}' AND bred != 'comp' AND attached = 'no' and currentlevel > 6 and selling = 'no'")->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN);
$names1 = $mysidia->db->select("owned_adoptables", array("name"), "owner = '{$mysidia->user->username}' AND bred != 'comp' AND attached = 'no' and currentlevel > 6 and selling = 'no'")->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN);

$index = 0;
foreach($names1 as $names){
$equals = " (";
$equals2 = ")";
$nameFinal = $names .= $equals .= $ids[$index] .= $equals2;

$index++;
}
$adoptable->fill($nameFinal, $ids);

$chooseFrom->add($adoptable);

I see, because you are using the fill function. In mine I add the options one by one to the dropdown list (called 'female'), so the left side is the field name and the right side the value. Try it like that?

I changed it to fill, but now it only shows one of the adoptables.

Updated code:

$ids = $mysidia->db->select("owned_adoptables", array("aid"), "owner = '{$mysidia->user->username}' AND bred != 'comp' AND attached = 'no' and currentlevel > 6 and selling = 'no'")->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN);
$names1 = $mysidia->db->select("owned_adoptables", array("name"), "owner = '{$mysidia->user->username}' AND bred != 'comp' AND attached = 'no' and currentlevel > 6 and selling = 'no'")->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN);

$index = 0;
foreach($names1 as $names){
$equals = " (";
$equals2 = ")";
$nameFinal = $names .= $equals .= $ids[$index] .= $equals2;

$index++;
}
$adoptable->add(new Option($nameFinal, $ids[$index]));

$chooseFrom->add($adoptable);

Oh, the add goes inside the the foreach cycle

Works now, awesome!
