Ok folks on my form i use javascript on a dropdown box (months of the year) to show/hide following dropdown boxes using css
i.e
box1 = 1-28 days default hide this dropdown
box2 = 1-30 days default hide this dropdown
box3 = 1-31 days default show this dropdown
the correct dropdown box will be shown and the others hidden according to the month selected
this works fine.
JavaScript
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
// var small = 1-28 days
// var medium = 1-30 days
// var large = 1-31 days
function ToggleDays(id)
{
var small = document.getElementById('short');
var medium = document.getElementById('medium');
var large = document.getElementById('long');
var value = id.options[id.selectedIndex].value;
if(value == 2)
{
small.style.display = "inline";
medium.style.display = "none";
large.style.display = "none";
}
if( value==2 || value==4 || value==6 || value==9 || value==11 )
{
if(value == 2)
{
small.style.display = "inline";
medium.style.display = "none";
large.style.display = "none";
}
else
{
small.style.display = "none";
medium.style.display = "inline";
large.style.display = "none";
}
}
else
{
small.style.display = "none";
medium.style.display = "none";
large.style.display = "inline";
}
}
//-->
</script>
HTML form (part of)
<form name="feedback" action="newformverify.php" method="POST" onsubmit='return formValidator()'>
<fieldset>
<legend>Feedback</legend>
<p><label>Name</label>
<input id="name" type="text" name="name"/></p>
<p><label>Centre</label>
<input id="centre" type="text" name="centre"/></p>
<p><label>Date of meeting</label>
<select id="month" name="month" size="1" onchange="ToggleDays(this);">
<option value=0><?php echo date("F")?></option>
<option value=1>January</option>
<option value=2>February</option>
<option value=3>March</option>
<option value=4>April</option>
<option value=5>May</option>
<option value=6>June</option>
<option value=7>July</option>
<option value=8>August</option>
<option value=9>September</option>
<option value=10>October</option>
<option value=11>November</option>
<option value=12>December</option>
</select>
I want to use php to gather all info from form together and send in an email using the mail function.
however when i post from the select it posts the option value and not the text is there any way to stop this?
<?php
session_start();
$month=$_POST['month'];
echo ("$month"); //this displays either a 0 or 1 etc
?>
