rowsForSelect

string Table_id
string First_Letters
array rows


Returns an array of rows that can be put into a drop-down select box. The first column is always "_value" and the second is always "_display".

The second parameter, if provided, filters to the results so that only values of _display that start with "First_Letters" are returned.

For a multiple-column primary key, this routine will filter for any pk column that exists in the session array "ajaxvars". This feature is controlled by an (as-yet undocumented) feature in ahInputsComprehensive that can make inputs use Ajax when their value changes to store their value in the session on the server.
