ThisIsMyName Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Wondering if it's possible to create a form with a dropdown that displays a list of text options but passes an INT to MySQL, e.g, menu contains a list of cities but I update the DB with a City_ID. Is there a way to define $Miami=$1234 and put $Miami in the HTML form variable?

Ken2k7 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Yeah. You would probably want it to look like this in the end: <option value='1234'>Miami</option> If City_ID is unique, then all you need is the number.
