If you want to get the option list of the content type that you have created , then you can get the list as follows:

$content_field = content_fields(‘whatever_the_field_name_is’);
$allowed_values = content_allowed_values($content_field);

So the $allowed_values will give you the array of the option list with the key value association.

Note: The “whatever_the_field_name_is” is the field name that you had specified while adding the field, you can get the field name from your content type .

Whenever you create any content type in drupal ( version 6 and above) and you required a filed of type select list, then you can provide the allowed values of the select option in two ways

CASE 1 :

option 1
option 2
option 3

CASE 2 :

1|option 1
2|option 2
3|option 3

Each new option has to be entered on a new line
So enternally the select list generated would be as follows
In case 1 :

<select>
<option value=”option 1″>option 1</option>
<option value=”option 2″>option 2</option>
<option value=”option 3″>option 3</option>
</select>

In case 2 :

<select>
<option value=”1″>option 1</option>
<option value=”2″>option 2</option>
<option value=”3″>option 3</option>
</select>
