Overriding data in a block

Question

I have a block manually created through the drupal admin panel.

I would like to override it in order to implement in it an array of data with it's corresponding html.

Is there an easy way to do this?

I also could create the block programmatically with the hook_block instead of using the admin panel.

I don't mind doing it either way, which way do you recommend?

hook_block is a MUCH better option than running the PHP filter in a generated block. I'm assuming you're running D6 as you refer to hook_block and not hook_block_info etc? — Chapabu, Jun 26, 2012 at 8:25

you can use array in static block(created through admin panel) also by choosing text format to "php Code". What exactly, you want to achieve ?

To form the array I have to use db_query, I don't know if I can use the "php Code" option in order to do that.
