多语言和选择选项

Question

I'm working with a multi-language site, and there is an HTML select element with 100 choices. The code looks like this:

<option value="1"><? echo $lang['CARGOTYPE_1']; ?></option>

So system insert into mysql table "type" number "1", or number "2" pr...

But when I select number from mysql, I need to change number to word.

With if, else I can change its meanings:

If($type == 1) { echo $lang['CARGOTYPE_1']; } elseif($type == 2){ echo $lang...

But the problem is, that code will be very long...

Any smart solutions for my problem?

Answer 1

If you know number of choices, use for cycle for that.

for ($i = 1; $i <= 30; $i++) {
    echo '<option value="' . $i . '">' . $lang['CARGOTYPE_' . $i] . '</option>';
}
