This might be a newbie question, but .....

I have an array $array retrieved from mysql. The array has the format [optionNum,optionName]. I want to pass this array to the "OPTIONS" tag of the AddInput() function where "TYPE"=>"select".

Is there any way to do this without explicidly doing so in a loop?

Not really, sorry. Currently the class only takes arrays with entries in the form of optionName => optionValue . You would have to convert your query results.

If you are using select inputs linked to other inputs, you may want to try the variants of the linked_select custom input that take database queries as parameters to retrieve the select input options.
