Form information doesn't transfer over to php file

Hey everyone,

I don't know what i'm doing wrong or missing some code snippet (duh! thats why i'm here. lol). The html form with meeting time doesn't transfer the information over to my calendar php file.

calendar.php

I don't see anything in calendar.php that would utilize a form submission from MeetingTime.html.

BlueSkyIS · November 11, 2010

also, the selects have no name, so you won't be able to reference their values after the form is submitted.

Oh. so do mean like this?

<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>

im not a proffesional but if you want to transfer it over i think you have to create a seperate page called calender and a page with the form on the the data goes to the calender.

e.g:

form.html

myform.php

//code here

but i think there is another way to do it on the same page:

<form action="<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">

//code down here

or something like that
