acook Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Does anyone know, Is it possible to define a variable (like a date) and then make it selectable in a dropdown? For example: <?php $today = date("Y-m-d"); $tomorrow = date("Y-m-d",mktime(0,0,0,date("m"), date("d")+1, date("Y"))); ?> <html> <form action="process.php" method="post"> <select name="date" id="date"> <option value="<?php $today ?>"> Today </option> <option value="<?php $tomorrow ?>"> Tomorrow </option> </select> <input type="submit" value="Search!"/> </form> </html> The above code doesn't seem to work... it actually shows the result as $today or $tomorrow ...and not the actual dates. Any ideas? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/55771-solved-php-variable-in-html-drop-downis-it-possible/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerRobot Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 You need to echo the variables: <option value="<?php echo $today; ?>"> Today </option> <option value="<?php echo $tomorrow; ?>"> Tomorrow </option> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/55771-solved-php-variable-in-html-drop-downis-it-possible/#findComment-275545 Share on other sites More sharing options...
