mikesta707 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I don't think there is a way to create more than one value attribute for a html form, and pass that into PHP. You can create your own attributes I believe, but I think Javascript is the only thing that can do stuff with them. What you can do is create a value that is something like value="hello:5:50" and when you get the value in PHP, do an explode() on it (in my case, the delimiter would be ":", which will turn it into an array of each of the values. Beyond that I don't see a way for you to create different values for the same selection Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/171840-creating-a-dropdown-menu-with-3-values-each-item/#findComment-906091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggzorcist Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 well ill be getting the info for the dropdown menu's from the database, and the database will have the values of id, name, price. I want it so if you select item_1 I will be able to put a sql_query to attach id, name and price, to the user using the program.
