empty Dropdown value

[mattichu]

how would I make it so that the option 'Remove (make blank)' would post an empty value?

 

<form action="/new/newrotastaffprocess.php" Method="POST">

 

<select name="username">

<?php

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members")

or die(mysql_error());

while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {

 

echo "<option value=\"" . htmlentities($row["username"]) . "\">" . htmlentities($row["username"]) . "</option>";

}

echo "<option value='empty'>Remove (make blank)</option>";

?>

</select>

</div>

<div style="position:absolute; top:397px; left:570px;">

<form action="/new/newrotastaffprocess.php" METHOD="POST">

<input type = "hidden" value="<?php echo $wkbeg;?>" name="wkbeg">

<input type = "hidden" value="<?php echo $staffno;?>" name="staffno">

<input type = "submit" value="New!">

</form>

Remove the string empty from the value= attribute, leaving only the quotes.

that doesnt work, i put it in after just having quotes didnt work to see if it passed the word 'empty' but it didnt

How did you test it, exactly?

Why do you have form tags nested within eachother?
