Option box to change variable

[Mistake]

Hello, i need help by making a script!

 

I need to write a file with option box, so a dropdown menu with 10 or more options, and when i select one option a button to save this option to a php variable in one file! So then i can call up this variable in another file!

 

Please help me! Thank you!

You're gonna want to look into sessions

 

If you need an example just ask.

An example would be great!

 

And i will start now on my own, but i think an example is better!

This should work I think:

 

<?php
session_start();
echo '<form action = "" method = "POST"';
echo'<select name="dropdown">
<option value="store" >Option 1</option>
<option value="values" >Option 2</option>
<option value="here" >Option 3</option>
</select>';
echo '<input type = "submit" name = "submit" value = "Get Value!"
</form>';
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{

$value = $_POST['dropdown'];

$_SESSION['value'] = $value;

echo $_SESSION['value'];
}




?>

 

To value is stored in $_SESSION['value'] to call the value in another page remember to use session_start(); at the very top.

Thank you for your exaple I tried to make what i need with your example! But i could not get what i will!

 

I have a file on my website wich shows the current dj on radio, listeners etc.

 

You can visit it on this adress http://choko-radio.com/eter/radio_stats.php

 

You will se the section DJ Online, I change the name of the dj manually editing the variable in the file!

 

But i need to change the name of the dj trough another file with the options box feature!

Thank you for you help, i coded around and i get this to work with this script:

 

<?php
echo '<form action = "" method = "POST"';
echo'<select name="dropdown">
<option value="DJ MisTake" >DJ MisTake</option>
<option value="kenox" >kenox</option>
<option value="TiruRiru" >TiruRiru</option>
</select>';
echo '<input type = "submit" name = "submit" value = "Promjeni DJ-a!"
</form>';
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{

$value = $_POST['dropdown'];

$string = '<?php 
$djpusta = "'. $_POST['dropdown']. '";
?>';

$fp = fopen("config_dj.php", "w");
fwrite($fp, $string);
fclose($fp);

}

?> 

 

 

Thanks again!
