Hello, I'm running php using classes and here's my dilema. I have a web form that pull data from an MySQL database as a <SELECT> <OPTION> drop down as a while loop; I have two while loops and no problem getting data for each. I have no problem calling the data for the <OPTION> however I need to pull two pieces of information and the <OPTION> from what I know only pulls one. The second while loop from the "sender" table has a "sender_name" & "sender_email". My problem is I can only have one value in the <OPTION> tag but I need to $POST two variables. when I select my drop down which only displays "sender_name" I would like to post "sender_email" so that I can echo this in my functions page for other things. My MySQL table for "sender" has the following: sender_id, sender_name, sender_email Plan is to create an Entry Form > Form Submitted > Data is run and verified on functions page > if Good execute code and send email to sender with details of the entry data... Currently I have it working if I enter a static email address in the mail() function however I would like when the Entry Form is filled out for it to pull the "sender_email" from the associated "sender_name" on that table as a variable to the functions page which has a mail() script Should I be using JavaScript or another PHP function? Thank you in advance, my code below My form: <form method="post" action="form-post.php"> <input type="hidden" name="add-tracking" value="true" /> <input type="hidden" name="tracking_method_id" id="tracking_method_id" value="2" /> <table> <tr> <td><label for="tracking_number">Tracking Number:<br />(No Dashes)</label></td> <td><input type="text" name="tracking_number" id="tracking_number" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="tracking_recepient">Tracking Recepient:</label></td> <td><input type="text" name="tracking_recepient" id="tracking_recepient" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="tracking_date">Tracking Date:<br />(YYYY-MM-DD)</label></td> <td><input type="text" name="tracking_date" id="tracking_date" value="<?php echo date('Y-m-d');?>" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="tracking_cost">Cost $:</label></td> <td><input type="text" name="tracking_cost" id="tracking_cost" value="0.0000" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="tracking_dept">Dept:</label></td> <td><select name="tracking_dept" id="tracking_dept"> <option value=""></option> <?php $sql = "SELECT * FROM department"; $res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) { echo '<option value="' . $row['dept_name'] .
