        // var_dump( $jsonres['Data']);         
 echo '<select>';
foreach($jsonres->Data as $option){
echo '<option value=' . $option->CurrencySymbol. '>' . $option->CurrencySymbol. '</option>';  
 }
echo '</select>';

What have you tried already? Paste some code and we can point you to the right direction. foreach would be a good starting point to try. — ojrask

You need to decode the json data first. Use: $jsonres = json_decode( $jsonres );

Then:

foreach ($jsonres as $key => $value) {
echo '<option value=' . $value->CurrencySymbol. '>' . $value->CurrencySymbol. '</option>';
}

As stated in my comment on your initial question, i will not write the code for you as you did not even try to do it yourself first.

But what you need to do is decode the json and then loop through that array outputting the currency symbol in a html select.

You can do something like...

foreach( $this->currency_array as $key => $value) {
    echo $value['CurrencySymbol'];
}

where...

$currency_array = your array
