Get Form Listbox Text Value

[maxhugen]

I'm using PHP with html templates (CodeCharge Studio), and I have a form with some Listboxes.

 

In another part of the Form, I need to show the Listbox 'display text' again - not the value.

 

For example:

<select id="ClientName">
  <option value="1">Bruce</option>
  <option value="2" selected>Fred</option>
  <option value="3">Mary</option>
</select>

<select id="Job">
  <option value="1">PHP</option>
  <option value="2">MySQL</option>
  <option value="3" selected>AJAX</option>
</select>

<p>You selected ClientName: [b]Fred[/b]</p>
<p>You selected Job: [b]AJAX[/b]</p>

 

I've worked out how to insert the Listbox value, but I don't know how I can insert the display text of the Listbox.

 

Can anyone suggest how i should reference the Listbox display text in php please?

Try this:

 

<?php
$clientName = $_POST['ClientName'];
list($cName, $cNum) = split(",", $clientName);

$jobName = $_POST['JobName'];
list($jName, $jNum) = split(",", $jobName);
?>

<form action="test.php" method="post">
<select name="ClientName[]">
  <option value="1,Bruce">Bruce</option>
  <option value="2,Fred" selected>Fred</option>
  <option value="3,Mary">Mary</option>
</select>

<select name="JobName[]">
  <option value="1,PHP">PHP</option>
  <option value="2,MySQL">MySQL</option>
  <option value="3,AJAX" selected>AJAX</option>
</select>
</form>

<?php
print "<p>You selected ClientName: $cName (ID: $cNum)</p>";
print "<p>You selected Job:  $jName (ID: $jNum)</p>";

?>
