No, phpdbform will include every record in the listbox. In slow =
connections this is bad.

I'm planning to put a filter option for large databases in the next =
release !

You're welcome to send your comments.
I received some ideas like putting a graphic field, to store and =
retrieve photos, for example. Please feel free to send your ideas, =
ratings and bugs.

At the present time, it seems as if phpdbform allows
only a popup text box to select an existing record
for editing.

Does this model (popup textbox) breakdown when the
table contains say more than 100 records?

I would prefer a single text box, where one could
for example enter the persons's surname and then
all matching records would be displayed for editing.

I have other comments, but will wait to see
how this one is responded to.
