Form+List / Help

[godsent]

I'm trying to make code that redirects to selected page from form list.

This code not working correctly because gets "cat" before its even selected so its basically 1.

 

<form action="?id=<?php print $_POST['cat']; ?>" method="post">
<select name="cat">
<option value="1">one</option>
<option value="2">two</option>
<option value="3">three</option>
<option value="4">four</option>
<option value="5">five</option>
</select> 
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Accept" />
</form>

 

i don't really know how this form should be made. If you know please help

Keep your form as the following;

 

<form action="<?php print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> 
<select name="cat">
<option value="1">one</option>
<option value="2">two</option>
<option value="3">three</option>
<option value="4">four</option>
<option value="5">five</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Accept" />
</form>

 

#$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] used to send the request to the current page

 

and on the receiving page (using the script above it'd be the same page) something like the following

 

<?php
$cat = (is_numeric($_POST['cat']))? $_POST['cat'] : 0;
$id = $cat;
?>
