Working with options and submits

[Nekokan]

Hello,

I am newbie in PHP, but I'm trying to learn and code things for web sites...

I got a doubt on following code for a deletion character:

<form action="" method="post">

<select id="selected_character" name="selected_character" class="form-control" style="width:180px;height:30px">

<?php
echo '<option value="'. $value['name'] . '">'. $value['name'] .'</option>';
?>

</select>
						
						
<select id="action" name="action" class="form-control" onChange="changedOption(this)" style="width:180px;height:30px">
								
<option value="delete_character">delete</option>
<class="delete_character"><input type="image" src="img/deletechar.png"<img style="max-height: 15px;"onclick="return confirm('Do you want to delete the adventurer?\notro test');" >
				

</form>

 

And the web output is shown like this:

Quote

[ NAME ] +  [ delete ] +  deletechar.png

Character data is coming from $value. My goal here would be to hide the selection for NAME and delete values, so when you click the png option it already points to current position.

I think now I may use a different class that it is not option or post...

 

Any help with this?

If it helps I got:

			// DELETE character
			case 'delete_character':
				if (user_character_account_id($char_name) === $session_user_id) {
					$charid = user_character_id($char_name);
					if ($charid !== false) {
						if ($config['ServerEngine'] === 'TFS_10') {
							if (!user_is_online_10($charid)) {
								if (guild_leader_gid($charid) === false) user_delete_character_soft($charid);
								else echo 'Character is leader of a guild, you must disband the guild or change leadership before deleting character.';
							} else echo 'Character must be offline first.';
						} else {
							$chr_data = user_character_data($charid, 'online');
							if ($chr_data['online'] != 1) {
								if (guild_leader_gid($charid) === false) user_delete_character_soft($charid);
								else echo 'Character is leader of a guild, you must disband the guild or change leadership before deleting character.';
							} else echo 'Character must be offline first.';
						}
					}
				}
				break;
			// end

for the catch function that handles the post:

if (!empty($_POST['selected_character'])) {
	if (!empty($_POST['action'])) {
		// Validate that post has been done and proceed with the checks

Some dodgy html markup in that line.

Nevermind, I found that if you

<td hidden>

in the table froms, you can actually send all data to the POST catch without showing info.

If you want to send data but not show an input then you use input type="hidden"

<input type="hidden" name="something" value="hidden">
