BeanoEFC Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hey Every1, I am trying to send a value submitted from a dynamic select list to a different page. However im running into problems. Here is my code for the 2 pages <html> <head> </head> <body> <form name="blah" method="post" action="selectlist3_1.php"> <select> <option>--Select Ride Destination--</option> <?php // Connect to server and select databse. mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB"); $query="select ride_name from ridedetails order by ride_name asc"; $result=mysql_query($query); while(list($ride_name)=mysql_fetch_row($result)) { echo "<option name='ride_name' value=" . $ride_name . ">" . $ride_name . "</option>"; } ?> </select> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /> </form> </body> </html> <html> <head> </head> <body> <?php $ride_name_post = $_POST['ride_name']; $ride_name_get = $_GET['ride_name']; echo "hello"; echo "<br>"; echo "Ride Name (get) : " . $ride_name_get; echo "<br>"; echo "Ride Name (post) : " . $ride_name_post; ?> </body> </html> I have been trying to duplicate the way i send values via a textfield by giving the <option> tag a name and and capturing the value by using $_POST['ride_name']. This is not working though. Any help would be appreciated.

cags Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 The name attribute should be in the <select> tag rather than the <option> tag. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/186004-post-value-from-dynamic-select-list/#findComment-982216 Share on other sites More sharing options...
