    hi there i’m attempting to difine a function that will display a dropdown list of the pages on my wordpress site – currently my functions.php file resembles closely to otto’s wordpress settings API tutorial found here.

    currently i am using the following function to display a dropdown list and am able to get it to populate the <select> tag with my pages however when i chose the page and submit it the option does not save to my database.

    function  setting_dropdown_fn() {
	$options = get_option('rtms_options');

	$args = array(
    'depth'            => 0,
    'child_of'         => 0,
    'selected'         => 0,
    'echo'             => 1,
    'name'             => "rtms_options[Page_string]",
	'id'			   => "dropdown")
	;
	wp_dropdown_pages( $args );

	}

    any advice on where i’m going wrong or where i need to be looking into would be very helpful – as i said before i’m trying to now save the populated list selection to my database

    the following code will do the same in terms of populating the list however it will not save either.

    function  setting_dropdown_fn() {
	$options = get_option('rtms_options');
	echo "<select name='page-dropdown'>
 <option value=''>";
echo esc_attr( __( 'Select page' ) ); ?></option>
 <?php
  $pages = get_pages();
  foreach ( $pages as $pagg ) {
  	$option = '<option value="' . get_page_link( $pagg->ID ) . '">';
	$option .= $pagg->post_title;
	$option .= '</option>';
	echo $option;
  }
echo '</select>';}
