Remove option if detect string match

[Sigmahokies]

Hello everyone

I'm trying to remove a html tag option when detect string to match. For example, if string show "Apple" in produce list that is not available, so, remove this option. I tried to grey it out, seem it doesn't work very good.

my code:

$disable = "<option disable>String</option>";

$picktable = $GaryDB->prepare("SHOW TABLES");

$picktable->execute();

while($row6 = $picktable->fetch()) {
if($row6[0] == "String") {
$row6[0] = str_replace("<option>String</option>",$disable,"<option>String</option>");
}
$pick .= "<option value='$row6[0]'>".$row6[0]."</option>";
}

unless you have better logic to remove or grey it out...

Thank you

Gary

You can use 'continue' keyword within if condition to skip that row value completely removing need to replace. If you plan to replace apply row value to a new variable and manipulate that! Insread.

$pick .= "<option value='$row6[0]'>".$row6[0]."</option>";

Should be

$pick .= "<option value='"$row6[0]"'>".$row6[0]."</option>";
