MySQL and Menus

Connect to MySQL database agora, and generate a <select> menu from an SQL statement where the <option> captions are in the 1st column, and the value to send back to the server is in the 2nd column.

<?php
    
include('adodb.inc.php');    # load code common to ADOdb
    
$conn = &ADONewConnection('mysql');    # create a connection
    
$conn->PConnect('localhost','userid','','agora');    # connect to MySQL, agora db
    
$sql 'select CustomerName, CustomerID from customers';
    
$rs $conn->Execute($sql);
    print 
$rs->GetMenu('GetCust','Mary Rosli');
?>

Here we define a menu named GetCust, with the menu option 'Mary Rosli' selected. See GetMenu(). We also have functions that return the recordset as an array: GetArray(), and as an associative array with the key being the first column: GetAssoc().
