Hi what i would like to do in my dropdown is to put a condition if($formdata[0]['Phase']==1){ to show only the option values from $ahk 1x in dropdown but if($formdata[0]['Phase']==3){ to show only the option values from $ahk 3x in dropdown here is my code

<div class="form-group col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
<label for="d13"><?php echo $t[$tmpvalues[0]['Lang']]['d13'];?></label>
<select class="form-control el-text-box" name="d13" onchange="this.form.submit()">
<?php for ($j=0; $j<sizeof($ahk); $j++){ 
$selected="";if($ahk[$j]==$formdata[0]['d13']){$selected="selected";}
?>
<option value="<?php echo $ahk[$j];?>" <?php echo $selected; ?>><?php echo $ahk[$j];?></option>
<?php 
} 
?>
</select>
</div>

Use an if statement to check if the array value matches the phase.

<div class="form-group col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
<label for="d13"><?php echo $t[$tmpvalues[0]['Lang']]['d13'];?></label>
<select class="form-control el-text-box" name="d13" onchange="this.form.submit()">
<?php
$prefix = $formdata[0]['Phase'] . "X";
foreach ($ahk as $option) {
    if (substr($option, 0, 2) == $prefix) {
        $selected = $option == $formdata[0]['d13'] ? "selected" : "";
        ?>
        <option value="<?php echo $option;?>" <?php echo $selected; ?>><?php echo $option;?></option>
        <?php
    }
}
?>
</select>
</div>

Can you please combine it in my code as i dont know what to delete?

I've done it, but I think it should be obvious. My foreach loop simply replaces your for loop.

i think i something wrong as its not working, maeby i left something behind on the original code, <?php } ?> <?php if($formdata[0]['Meletes_id']>0){ ?>  <div class="form-group col-sm-6 col-xs-12">

There's an extra ). If you don't use an IDE to write your code, you should, it will catch things like this automatically. Unfortunately, I don't use mine when answering on SO.
