Drop down menu not keeping value

[BillyMako]

When i select something from the drop down list it is not passing it to the next page.

 

              <tr><?php @$suburb=$_GET['suburb']; ?>
                <td class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_SUBURB; ?></td>
                <td class="main"><?php 

			echo "<select name='suburb'><option value='$suburb'>Select Suburb</option>"; // onchange=\"reload(this.form)\"
while($pop = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { 
if($pop['postcode']==@$suburb){
echo  "<option value='$pop[postcode]'>$pop[suburb]</option>";
}else{
echo "<option selected value='$suburb'>$pop[suburb]</option>";}
}

echo "</select>";

			 ?> *

So...

 

• Are you using method="get"?
  
• Are those error suppressors in front of "@$suburb". Why are you doing that?
  

 

Now...

 

It might be that in the following code:

 

<?php
if($pop['postcode']==@$suburb){
echo  "<option value='$pop[postcode]'>$pop[suburb]</option>";
}else{
echo "<option selected value='$suburb'>$pop[suburb]</option>";
}
?>

 

You are telling it to print out an ordinary option WHEN they match. Shouldn't your code be:

 

<?php
if($pop['postcode']==$suburb){
echo "<option selected value='$suburb'>{$pop['suburb']}</option>";}
}else{
echo  "<option value='{$pop[postcode]}'>{$pop['suburb']}</option>";
}
?>

you never closed your while statement

unless its just a type when you submited this

Still not working

Still not working

 

You better post some more code and any error messages then. My crystal ball is in the washing machine

It's closed. The else close comes right after the last echo statement. Perfectly positioned to confuse everyone

It's cut down now, still works but wont hold the value when form is submitted.????

 

 

echo"Suburb: ";
			echo "<select name='suburb'><option value='$suburb'>Select Suburb</option>"; // onchange=\"reload(this.form)\"
while($pop = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { 
echo "<option value='$pop[postcode]'>$pop[suburb]</option>";
}

echo "</select>";

[BillyMako]

Got it working now!

 

echo"Suburb: ";

echo "<select name='suburb'><option>Select Suburb</option>"; // onchange=\"reload(this.form)\"
while($pop = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { 
echo "<option>$pop[suburb]</option>";
}

echo "</select>";
