Drop Down Box

[damiancds]

okay, I basically copied from the tutorial here on w3schoolsso the code,

<?phpfunction spamcheck($field)  {  //filter_var() sanitizes the e-mail  //address using FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL  $field=filter_var($field, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);  //filter_var() validates the e-mail  //address using FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL  if(filter_var($field, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))    {    return TRUE;    }  else    {    return FALSE;    }  }if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))  {//if "email" is filled out, proceed  //check if the email address is invalid  $mailcheck = spamcheck($_REQUEST['email']);  if ($mailcheck==FALSE)    {    echo "Invalid input";    }  else    {//send email    $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;    $subject = $_REQUEST['subject'] ;    $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;    mail("someone@example.com", "Subject: $subject",    $message, "From: $email" );    echo "Thank you for using our mail form";    }  }else  {//if "email" is not filled out, display the form  echo "<form method='post' action='mailform.php'>  Email: <input name='email' type='text' /><br />  Subject: <input name='subject' type='text' /><br />  Message:<br />  <textarea name='message' rows='15' cols='40'>  </textarea><br />  <input type='submit' />  </form>";  }?>

and instead of the line " Subject: <input name='subject' type='text' /><br />"I want a drop down box listing possible subjects say: service, questions, suggestions, invoice inquiry ....thanks,

Check the HTML reference, you can replace the input element with a select element with whatever options you want in it.
