从.txt文件填充表单中的选项值

Question

I have a form that I am creating for basic time submission at a company. However, I need to design one part so that the owner can simply load up a .txt file or an excel document or something similar and replace and edit names real quick for the drop down field.

The current code:

<select name="entry.44832674" id="entry_44832674" aria-required="true" required="">
          <option value=""></option>
          <option value="Option 1">Option 1</option>
          <option value="Option 2">Option 2</option>
          <option value="Option 3">Option 3</option>
          <option value="Option 4">Option 4</option>
          <option value="Option 5">Option 5</option>
        </select>

Is this possible to perform with php or javascript of some sort? Would like to keep this as simple as possible as the owner does not have time to mess with code. If possible to create a simple .txt file in the format of

Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
Option 4
Option 5

and then the owner can add or remove names when needed that would be awesome. I have found many solutions for things, but could not find an answer for this one.

Answer 1

Something like this should do it:

<select>
<option value=""></option>

<?php
$options=nl2br(file_get_contents("optionsTextFile.txt"));
$options=explode("<br>",$options);

for($i=0;$i<count($options);$i++)
  {
  echo "<option value='".$options[$i]."'>".$options[$i]."</option>";
  }
?>

</select>
