drop down get end of the array value.

[swtlbee]

I have a simple html drop down - example:

<select name="dd1[ ]" multiple size="3">

<option value="1">1</option>

<option value="2">2</option>

<option value="3">3</option>

<option value="4">4</option>

<option value="5">5</option>

</select>

 

When I request the data I get my values 1 3 5 etc.

 

However I need to get the last value to use the following code:

foreach ($dd1 as $s) {

 

  if(!(end($ddl) == $s)){

  $thisvalue= " not at the end just yet  '" . $s . "'";

    }

      else{

    $thisvalue= " This is the last value selected '" . $s . "' ";

    }

      }

 

  echo ($whereFields);

 

Because I believe the Name of the drop down is dd1[ ] the array is always 0 or 1 never incrementing.

How can I get it to increment to get the last value in the array?

You want to get the last array item?

 

use count();

 

Im sure you can figure out how to use that function to your purpose.

ps: php.net/manual

I've tried count and I get 0123 etc. that does not seem to be working for me and if I could figure it out I wouldn't be asking for help. I do need help in trying to figure out how to assign values to my array in the drop down to get the end value.

To get the last value from your array, use array_pop. Example

 

$dd1 = $_POST['dd1'];

$lastValue = array_pop($dd1);

echo $lastValue;
