Well, I’ve solved the biggest problem I thought I had: the need for a None selection in the editbook pull-down menus. I added an echo statement that echoed “None Selected” when the periodical_id was 0. I had to put this before the while statement that created the pull-down menu or I got “None Selected before each periodical title.
I’ll admit to being pretty pleased with myself…it wasn’t as hard as I thought.
