learningPHP1 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hello everybody whats the best way to do this: Page: User entry page. focus: Dropdown list box - dropdown list box, populated from a database(works). -information pull for the dropdown listbox: Projectid(eg: 1,2,3...) and project name (eg: computer deployment) user makes the selection and clicks save. page returns back with the prev. selection which is fine but its a numeric value or the projectid. Need: like to have the project name appear rather then the project id but at the same time I need the projectid to save with the information collected in the user form so i can make reference to the project name at a later date using projectid . <form name="projectwalkthrough" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="POST"> <body> Project name: <select name="projectid" > <option value="selectid"><?PHP if($ProjectID) {echo $ProjectID;} else {echo "Select Project ID";} ?></option> <?PHP while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($ProjectIDResults)) { echo '<option value=" ' . $row['ci_id'] . ' ">' . $row['ci_projectname'] . '</option>'; } ?> </select> any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
