Select menu based on Query COUNT

[kool_samule]

Hi Chaps,

I have a Query that loops through a database, showing all JobID's that have been assigned to a certain user.
A user can have an unlimited number of JobID's assigned to them.
What I want to do is use a Select input to assign a job priority, using number 1 to 'COUNT' (number of JobID's for certain user):
eg.

User A (5 JobID's)
Select Options:
1
2
3
4
5

And your question is?

How do i populate the Select Options with numbers 1 - to - 'COUNT'?

Here's one of many ways this can be done...

$count = 5;

echo '<select name="job_id">';
for($i = 1; $i <= 5; $i++)
{
    echo '<option value="'.$i.'">'.$i.'</option>';
}
echo '</select>'; 

Or, alternatively, you can be the coolest kid on the street by doing this...

$count = 5;

echo '<select name="job_id">';
while( $count == true && print('<option value="'.$count.'">'.$count--.'</option>') );
echo '</select>';
