Pass values in an array as select form

Question

I have this part here which generates me an array:

$ids_sektor = explode("/",$row['sektori']);

What i need is to echo all those values inside a select option... The html for my selectbox is:

 <select id="sektori_pergjegjes" name="sektori_pergjegjes">
                <option value="A">A</option>
                <option value="B">B</option>
                <option value="C">C</option>
                <option value="D">D</option>
                <option value="E">E</option>
</select>

I tried foreach but no success, i guess i'm doing something wrong, of cours ei am, some help please.

Show the value of $row['sektori'] and your foreach try.

It should work as follows:

   $row['sektori'] = "12/34/56";
   $ids_sektor = explode("/", $row['sektori'];

   foreach ($ids_sektor as $id) {
       echo "<option>$id</option>\n";
   }

I'm not sure I understood the question well, but it should be done like that:

<select id="sektori_pergjegjes" name="sektori_pergjegjes">
<?php
    foreach($ids_sektor as $item)
    {
        $id = htmlspecialchars(item);
        echo('<option value="' . $id . '">' . $id . '</option>');
    }
?>
</select>

You may skip htmlspecialchars() when you're 100% sure there will be just A/B/C/D/E in your array.

ASP-style short tags make me cry. Also, HTML escape~
