HTML Options from SQL Database

I have a HTML DataList input box, and I would like to have the options in the DataList to be things from my SQL database. I have been trying to make this work, but for some reason I cant. Does anyone know how this could be achieved?

Here is my code:

<?php
    include_once 'connect.php';

    $sql="select * FROM table";

?>
<form>
<input list="list" name="name">
  <datalist id="datalist">

  <?php 
      foreach ($dbo->query($sql) as $row) {
         echo "<option value="$row[name]"/>";
      }

   ?>

   </datalist>
  <input type="submit">
</form>

The option I get with this is literally $row[name]

Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Solution

  • Datalist id has to match the input list attribute and change the loop to "<option value=" . $row['name'] . "/>"
