[SOLVED] Value in a dropdown

[Mr Chris]

Hi All,

 

I have a piece of code where I get the player_id value from the url at the top of the page.

 

Rather than this I want to get the value from variable named $player_one.

 

<?php $p_id = (isset($_GET['player_id']) ? intval($_GET['player_id']) : ''); ?> 
<select class="input" name="player_one" size="1"  style="width: 145" tabindex="1"> 
  <option value="" <?php echo ($p_id == '' ? 'selected="selected"' : ''); ?>>player_one</option> 
    <?php 
            $type_array=get_player_names(); 
            foreach ($type_array as $players) 
           { 
             ...code
          } 
     ?> 
</select>

 

 

So I thought it would be something like this:

 

<?php $p_id = $player_one ? $player_one : ''; ?>

 

Rather than:

 

<?php $p_id = (isset($_GET['player_id']) ? intval($_GET['player_id']) : ''); ?> 

 

But it does not pull out the value.  Can anyone help?

 

Thanks

 

Chris

Got it!  That does work.  There was something wrong with the rest of my code.  Thanks anyway!
