Creating a <select> with table names

Hi, I was wondering if there is anyway to get all the tables in a mySQL database and insert it into a Drop down box with php, or any other language.

$tables=mysql_list_tables($dbname);
echo "<select>";
$table = 0;
while ($table < mysql_num_rows($tables)) {
$tablename=mysql_tablename($tables, $table);
echo "<option><value=\"$tablename\">$tablename</option>\n\r";
$table++;
}
echo "</select>";

Thank you very much BonRouge
