in reply to Generating Select elements with foreach loops

The error is in the check for '1' - you are checking the user record, when you should be checking $_, the quantity for which you are currently generating the option field:

if ($_==1){# show name 'individual' for qty 1 else show number

I find this sort of output most easily generated with (s)printf:

@quantities = ('1','5','10','25','50','100'); printf( '<option value="%s"%s>%s</option>', $_, # option value is the quantity ($_ == $userRecord{$pack_qty}) ? ' selected' : '', ($_ == 1) ? 'Individual' : $_ ) for @quantities;
