So, here I am, wondering how on earth I can get a function together to list UK counties in a simple method that can be used over and over again.
I've put this together and it seems to work rather well.
PHP Code:
<?php
/**
* UK DROPDOWN LIST
* ROGER E THOMAS November 2010
* http://www.rogerethomas.com
* Completely free to download and use in your scripts.
* Call as: echo listUKCounties ($dropdown_name,$key_selected);
*
* $dropdown_name is the name of the final select box.
* $key_selected is the value of the index that should be selected by default
* This should come in handy when dealing with incorrect address
* information and promting the user for more info.
*
*
*/
