[SOLVED] Drop down submit - get/post

[andrewgarn]

Ok well i have a drop down box which needs to set post or get data to the same page.

 

<form name="skill" method="get" action="ranking.php">
    <SELECT onchange=submit() NAME="view">
    <OPTION VALUE="op1">op1</OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE="op2">op2</OPTION>
    </SELECT>

 

This reloads the same page with this in the address bar:

 

ranking.php?view=op1

 

how do i change it so the page recognises the address bar variable and uses it here:

 

if(isset($_GET["cmd"])) {
if($_GET["cmd"]=="view" || $_POST["cmd"]=="view") {

change that to

if(isset($_GET["view"])) {
if($_GET["view"]=="op1") {

 

is this what u want?

That works thanks,

 

but its not hiding the original data, what do i need to have at the beginning?

 

I should know this....i guess i'm tired.

 

if(!isset($_GET["skill"])) {

 

doesnt work

[DeanWhitehouse]

exit();

 

??

put that at the end of the get code

[andrewgarn]

No i'm talking rubbish it works fine Sorry

 

Thanks
