I have a page that allows a user to select an student to work with. In the code below, I have saved each student id in an array so I can get the value by perhaps a javascript which would look something like this:
var id = document.form.select_list[selectedIndex].text;
document.form.id = id;
Any idea of exactly how I should do it? I would like to use php only and no javascript but I am a little clueless on how to do this. My final goal is to register the \"id\" in a session and pass it back to the calling page.
<?php
echo \"<input type = \"hidden\" name = \"id\">\";
echo \"<select name = \"select_list\">\";
$i = 0;
$arr = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
echo \"<option>\".$row[\'last\'].\", \".$row[\'first\'].\"</option>n\";
$arr[$i++] = $row[\'id_number\'];
}
echo \"</select>\";
?>
