I need to add a drop down menu to my existing PHP. I'm new to this language and thought what I had written would work, but I keep getting an error with what I've got. Can anyone take a ganders at my code and let me know what I'm doing wrong? (It's the "opgroup" section.) Thanks. <? $form_block = " <FORM METHOD=\"POST\" ACTION=\"$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]\"> <P><strong>Requester Name & Department:</strong><br><INPUT type=\"text\" NAME=\"reqname\" size=40></P> <P><strong>Requester E-Mail:</strong><br><INPUT type=\"text\" NAME=\"reqemail\" size=40></P> <P><strong>Requester Phone Number:</strong><br><INPUT type=\"text\" NAME=\"reqphone\" size=40></P> <P><strong>Person Operator Code Requested For: (First, Middle & Last)</strong><br> <INPUT type=\"text\" NAME=\"opcodereq\" size=40></P> <P><strong>Requested Operator Code: (XXX)</strong><br><input type=\"text\" NAME=\"opcode\" size=20></P> <P><SELECT NAME=\"opgroup\" size=1> <OPTION value="">Please select an Operator Group</option> <OPTION value=\"IT\">IT Staff</option> <OPTION value=\"REG\">Registration</option> <OPTION value=\"BLGD\">Registration/Billing-Dental/Eye Clerical Staff</option> <OPTION value=\"BLG\">Registration/Billing/Prenatal/HSS</option> <OPTION value=\"REC\">Reception/Medical Records/Social Workers</option> <OPTION value=\"MGMT\">Management Staff</option> <OPTION value=\"DATA\">Planning/Development/Fiscal</option> <OPTION value=\"MED\">Providers/Nurses/Health Educators/Asst/Recepts</option> <OPTION value=\"MIS\">MIS</option> </SELECT></P> <P><strong>Questions or Comments:</strong><br> <TEXTAREA NAME=\"message\" rows=4 cols=40></textarea></P> <INPUT type=\"hidden\" name=\"op\" value=\"ds\"> <P><INPUT type=\"submit\" NAME=\"submit\" VALUE=\"Send Request\"></P> </FORM>"; if ($_POST[op] != "ds") { // they need to see the form echo "$form_block"; } else if ($_POST[op] == "ds") { // check value of $_POST[reqname] if ($_POST[reqname] == "") { $reqname_err = "<font color=red><b>Please enter your Name and Department!</b></font><br>"; $send = "no"; } // check value of $_POST[reqemail] if ($_POST[reqemail] == "") { $reqemail_err = "<font color=red><b>Please enter your Email Address!</b></font><br>"; $send = "no"; } // check value of $_POST[reqphone] if ($_POST[reqphone] == "") { $reqphone_err = "<font color=red><b>Please enter your Phone Number!</b></font><br>"; $send = "no"; } // check value of $_POST[opcodereq] if ($_POST[opcodereq] == "") { $opcodereq_err = "<font color=red><b>Please enter the name of the requested user!
