Here's your one word translation, now you make fit the context of your needs.

Code: Select all

<?php 
//Setup data
$name1="show all";
$value1=1;
$name2="search all";
$value=2; 
?> 
 
<!- HTML form opening tags --> 
<form action="action" method="post"> 
<select name="option"> 
 
<?php 
echo "<option value=\"$value1\">$name1</option>\n"; 
echo "<option value=\"$value2\">$name2</option>\n"; 
?> 
 
<!- HTML form closing tags --> 
</select> 
<input type="submit"> 
</form>
