need help with php get

[deansaddigh]

i have a option box that gets filled with dates, but how do i get once the option value has been clicked for example they select 2007 from the drop down, it then posts that value back to the same page.

 

I have this so far but doesnt do anything when clicked.

 

<option value="<?=$this_page.'&year'?>" <? if($_GET{'year'}){echo 'selected';}?>><?=$year?></option>

 

Thank in advance

Assuming your select is part of a form, and the form is submitted after selection, then

if the form is 'post'ed, the value attribute of the selected option will be available after

submit, as $_POST['selectname']  where selectname is whatever name you have given

the <select> that surrounds the <option>s

How do i get the form to submit though, withought having a submit button, i need it to submit when someone selects a value from the drop down select box?

You need to do that with JavaScript, as it is client-side rather than server-side.  Look in to JavaScript's onChange / onSelect events.

Ok so i found some javascript to do it, but its still not working.

 

<form action="archivedBookings.php" method="get" onchange="this.form.submit(archivedBookings.php);">';
						 echo '<select name="year" class="dropdown" >';

Is this correct where i have put it ?

Its ok guys i figured it out

with this

echo '<select name="year" class="dropdown" onChange="this.form.submit()" >';

 

Should there be anything in the parenthesis??
