Select Form - PHP

[boneXXX]

Could someone help me on using select list with php

 

Such as:

 

echo"<table  align='center' >";
echo"<select name='option'>";
echo"<option value='' selected>Choices</option>";
echo"<option value='1' >1</option>";
echo"<option value='2' >2</option>";
echo"</select>";
echo"</table>";

 

How can grab that chosen option to print out something like this

echo" ?  was your choice";

 

Thanks in advance.

You should use a form submit, then use the $_GET() or $_POST() method.

in the file it's submitted to you'd need something like:

<?php
$option = $_GET['option'];

echo $option . "was your choice";
?>

 

But I get the feeling you're wanting it to display on the same page, without submitting the form. In that case you'd need to use Javascript.

Thanks a lot, I am going to use it with submitting.

yeah, I'd suggest using $_POST over $_GET as it's more secure.

$option=$_POST['option'];
echo $option;

you mean something like this.

 

Blabla.php

<?php

echo"<form name='form' method='post' action='./test.php'>";
echo"<table  align='center' >";
echo"<select name='option'>";
echo"<option value='' selected>Choices</option>";
echo"<option value='1' >1</option>";
echo"<option value='2' >2</option>";
echo"</select>";
echo"<br><input type='submit' name='Submit' value='Send Your Choice'>";
echo"</table>";
echo"</form>";

?>

Test.php

<?php

$choice = $_POST['option'];
echo $choice . "was your choice";

?>

[Dragen]

yeah, that should work.
