I have a PHP 5.6 website and i don’t know which version of jQuery is included but my jQuery UI version is “version”: “1.12.0” lets consider i have some old jQuery and CSS versions.

I have a and options inside it which is generated dynamically using PHP and i have tested it the generation of the these options are correct.

Here is the function for generating the options.
`function tep_draw_pull_down_menu($name, $values, $default = ”, $parameters = ”, $required = false) {
global $HTTP_GET_VARS, $HTTP_POST_VARS;

$field = '<select name="' . tep_output_string($name) . '"';
if (tep_not_null($parameters)) $field .= ' ' . $parameters;

$field .= '>';

if (empty($default) && ( (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS[$name]) && is_string($HTTP_GET_VARS[$name])) || (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS[$name]) && is_string($HTTP_POST_VARS[$name])) ) ) {
    if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS[$name]) && is_string($HTTP_GET_VARS[$name])) {
        $default = stripslashes($HTTP_GET_VARS[$name]);
    } elseif (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS[$name]) && is_string($HTTP_POST_VARS[$name])) {
        $default = stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS[$name]);
    }
}

for ($i = 0, $n = sizeof($values); $i < $n; $i++) {
    $style =  '';
    if($values[$i]['bold'] == 1){
        $style =  'style="font-weight:bold;"';
    }
    $field .= '<option '.$style.' value="' . tep_output_string($values[$i]['id']) . '"';
    if ($default == $values[$i]['id']) {
        $field .= ' selected="selected"';
    }
    // $text =  html_entity_decode($values[$i]['text']); PHP 5.6 code
    $text =  html_entity_decode($values[$i]['text'] ?? '');//  PHP 8.2
    $field .= '>' . tep_output_string($text, array('"' => '"', ''' => ''', '<' => '<', '>' => '>')) . '</option>';
}
$field .= '</select>';

if ($required == true) $field .= TEXT_FIELD_REQUIRED;

return $field;

}`

The issue is when i’m running php 5.6 the select options are working fine and correct but as i change my php version from 5.6 to 8.2 my select and options are overflowed means showing all the options which is about 2 to 3 thousand records which i don’t want to show it directly

I’m expecting and want to show the select option when clicked then i want to show the my options
