Help with dropdown menu

[thebiff335]

Hi there so I am working on a project and I have a drop down menu created but I can't seem to get it to echo the item that gets selected from the menu...

 

echo "Select Id of Super or Function to edit";
echo "<FORM METHOD ='POST'>";
echo "<SELECT NAME='superList'>";
echo "<option disabled selected>Id</option>";

$q="SELECT * FROM box WHERE pid=0";
$res=mysql_query($q);
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($res)){

echo "<option value>$row[0]</option>";
}

echo "</SELECT>";
echo " <INPUT TYPE='Submit' VALUE='Select' NAME='superS' Title='Select Super/Function Box By Id' /></FORM>";

if(isset($_POST['superS'])){
$selected = $_REQUEST['superList'];
echo "button works";
echo $selected;
}

 

 

i have a test echo in my button and that displays but my $selected won't...any guidence would be appriciated

The option you have selected is set to disabled. The browser won't send the data of an input that is disabled.

That Option is just the name of my options so it shows as the default but you cant select it, when i tray selecting any other options in the menu it still won't echo them.

That is because you don't have a value set for any of the options. If you select something else, it IS sending the data, but the value is null (or an empty string).

 

Try this:

echo "<option value='$row[0]'>$row[0]</option>";
