ok so far.

i want to make a php script in order to take the following and put them in a form i made.

here is the form :

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function imgchange()
{
var si = document.frm.selbox.selectedIndex;
var fname = document.frm.selbox.options[si].value
document.img.src = fname
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

A WANT THE FOLLOWING FORM TO BE GENERATED DYMICALLY ACCORDING TO the .txt FILE CONTENT. HWO CAN I CAPTURE IN PHP THE TEXT UNTIL "-" AND THE URL IN ORDER TO PLACE THEM IN THIS FORM?

<CENTER>
<FORM name="frm">
<SELECT NAME="selbox" size=1" onchange=imgchange()>
<OPTION VALUE="

<OPTION VALUE="

</SELECT>
</FORM>
<IMG SRC="1.gif" NAME="img">
</CENTER>
</HTML>
</BODY>

Something like
[tt]if (($fp = fopen("<filename>", "r&quot

) === FALSE)
die("Couldn't open the file.&quot

;
while (!feof($fp))
{
$line = fgets($fp);
list($text, $url) = explode("-", $line, 2);
echo "<option value=\"$url\">$text</option>";
}
fclose($fp);[/tt]
should do it.

See the manual for more information:
