    Hallo,

    I need to put a select box with 5,000 different options (five thousands!). Therefore I am here to ask:

    1. Is it possible or not? Is the memory enough?
    2. how can I do this? My options are listed in a .txt file, one option per row, which is currently on my PC. I tried to click on the “Add options from database” but couldn’t guess what I shall do. Can I upload the .txt file?

    Thanks,

    Dear andreabk,

    The select box cannot handle that large amount of options. Currently it is limited up to 99 options. As for the database connection, it required a MySQL database where you have the options listed in a table, .txt option cannot be used for that purpose. You can create a MySQL table in the same database as your website, (using e.g. phpmyadmin) and fill the 5000 options in that table.
