soccer022483 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Try changing your form to method = 'GET' and make sure your variables are in the address bar correctly.

Snip Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Here is what I've come up with.[code] //$user = $_POST['user'] $url = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; echo "<form method=\"get\" name=\"userselection\" action=\"$url\">"; echo '<select size="1" name="user" onchange="forms[\'userselection\'].submit()"> '; while($i<$num){ /* Output combo box */ $value=mysql_result($result,$i); echo("<option value="); echo( $value ); if(strtolower($user)==strtolower($value)){ echo " selected=true"; } echo(">"); echo( $value ); echo("</option>"); $i++; } echo("</select>"); echo '</form>';[/code]When you select a different item in the combobox, the page gets reloaded and you get the new value from the $_POST on witch you can readjust the data on your page (and reput the combobox on the selected item) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/3731-having-problems-updating-using-drop-down-menu/#findComment-13319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
