I am trying to populate a dropdown box with contents of the color array then display in a php file. Also display radio button selection on php file. I can not figure it out. I havent even started with the display of the array in the php file because I cant even populate the dropdown box. Any help would be much appreciated.
My HTML file
<!DOCTYPE html>
<?php
$Color = array("Red", "Blue", "Green", "Cyan", "Magenta", "Yellow");
$Food = array("Barbeque", "Chinese", "Japanese", "Thai", "Steak", "Vegan", "Mexican");
?>
<html lang="en">
<head><title>Lab 08</title></head>
<body>
<h2>Data Collection</h2><p>
<form method="get" action="test.php">
<table>
<p>Select your favorite color.</p>
<select name=Color>
<?php
foreach($Color as $col)
{
echo "<option value=\"$col\">". $col ."</option>
";
}
?>
</select>
<p>Select your favorite type of food.</p>
<input type="radio" name="Food" value="Barbeque">Barbeque<br>

<tr><td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" value ="Submit"/></td></tr>
</table>
</form>

My PHP file
