# Dropdown Menu Please help

 * Thanks to user [@wdhppr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wdhppr/) I was able
   get my Manufacturers list to appear on my page using PHP. However, his explanation
   fell short on how to populate the dropdown on a page.
 * I customized his code outlined at:
    [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/request-drop-down-select-form-field/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/request-drop-down-select-form-field/)
 * to this:
 * <?php
    echo ‘<h2>Manufacturer: ‘; $dept=$_POST[‘Manufacturer’]; echo $dept; echo‘
   </h2>’; echo do_shortcode( “[abase table=’manufacturers’ columns=’Manufacturer
   Name^manufacturer_name’ where=’manufacturer_name LIKE \”%$dept%\”‘ order=’manufacturer_name’
   limit=300]”); ?>
 * This manages to generate a table on my page by inserting a php snippet on the
   page, but how do I populate a dropdown with the table fields as options on my
   page?
 * Any help is appreciated, I’ll buy you a beer through PayPal if you can help. 
   🙂
