PHP Form

[Mufleeh]

Hi all,

 

I have used a dropdown menu inside the <form> tag. There are list of zones and one will be selected.

 

I would like to whether I can use PHP inside the <form></form> as I have used below and how to get the id of the selected one from the drop down men. Below is my code and it doesn't work as I expect, please advice.

 

 

                            <form method="post" id="graphDraw" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']?>">

                                                       

                            <?php

                                                       

                            echo "<select name=\"".'zone_id'."_zone_".$zoneNo."\" style=\"width: 175px\">";

                                               

                            foreach($this->allZones as $zone)

                            {

                            echo "<option";

                            echo " value='$zone[zone_id]' ";

                            echo ">";

                            echo $zone['zone_id'].": ".$zone['zone_name'];

                            echo "</option>";

                            }

                            echo"</select>";

                            ?>

 

                            <input type="submit" value="Generate Graph"/>

                                                           

                            </form>

 

 

Once the button is clicked I need to get the id (zone_id) of the selected zone in the drop down menu and send it to a query.

I'm not sure what $zoneNo contains, but let say you select tag looks like this:

 

 echo "<select name='zone_id' style=\"width: 175px\">";

 

 

In the code that processes the form submission, the zone_id can be retrieved with the following variable:

 

$_POST['zone_id']
