chaosxkitten Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 When I try to echo the values selected in my select boxes ( $first and $last ) nothing shows up....

Pikachu2000 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 How is the <select> menu showing up in a View--->Source html markup? Does it look right, and have the correct name, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witnot1 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 You are starting your select echo with a ' which leads to $a not being read rather do as follow "<select name='$a'>" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
