How Would I Go About Accomplishing "Form Placement"

[Brandon_R]

I AM very new to PHP and wanting to know how would i go about doing this.

 

I Have a form with a specific amount of options IE A, B, C, D, E.

Now i want C to represent Carrot.

 

So If A User Chose C,  the php to return , "You Have Chosen Carrot" on the ?do=process page.

 

Any ideas on how to do this.

<?php
if (isset($_GET['fruit']))
{
  $fruit = $_GET['fruit'];
  echo "You have chosen ".$fruit.".";
}

?>
<form method="GET" action="fruit_page.php">
Choose a letter:<select name="fruit">
<option value="Apple">A</option>
<option value="Bannana">B</option>
<option value="Carrot">C</option>
<!-- and so on... -->
</select>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>

 

Something like that?

Yes perfect but is there a way to also return the abbreviation in the php echo also. Something like "You Have Chosen C Which Stands For Carrots". Should of Said That In My First Post Also.

 

Thanks For All Your Help So Far.

<?php
//changing it to post
if (isset($_POST['fruit']))
{
  $fruit = $_POST['fruit'];
  $fruits = explode(":",$fruit);
  echo "You have chosen ".$fruits[0]." which stands for ".$fruits[1].".";
}

?>
<form method="POST" action="fruit_page.php">
Choose a letter:<select name="fruit">
<option value="A:Apple">A</option>
<option value="B:Bannana">B</option>
<option value="C:Carrot">C</option>
<!-- and so on... -->
</select>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>

 

I've never done anything like that before, but it seems like that would work. I'm sure there are better ways to do it.
