[SOLVED] This form doesn't submit?

[FlyingIsFun1217]

Hey!

 

I've in the past used a drop-down, and retrieved the value for the item selected, forwarded to another page using that as part of the url. In the past, this has worked just fine, but now, it's not sending the values:

 

<form action="eiAction.php">
			<select name="newsToEdit" method="post">

				<?php
					include('connectInfo.php');
					include('createConnection.php');

					$newsQuery = mysql_query('SELECT number, title, content FROM news ORDER BY number DESC');

					while($newsData = mysql_fetch_array($newsQuery, MYSQL_ASSOC))
					{
						$number = $newsData['number'];
						$title = $newsData['title'];

						echo '<option value="'.$number.'">'.$title.'</option>';
					}

					include('closeConnection.php');
				?>

			</select>
			<br>
			<input type="submit" value="Get Contents">
		</form>

 

$number = $_POST['newsToEdit'];

echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
echo 'window.location = "edit.php?post='.$number.'"';
echo '</script>';

 

Shouldn't this work? When I comment out the javascript redirect and echo back the value for $number, I just get a blank page.

 

Thanks for the help again!

Move the method=post to the form tag (its in the select now)
