This comes from the database and pulls the names correctly.
[code]
echo"<OPTION VALUE='".$record["name"]."'>".$record["name"];
[/code]

you need to get rid of the single quotes. should be
[code]echo"<OPTION VALUE='".$record["name"]." ".$record["date"]."'>$record['name'] $record['date']</OPTION>";[/code]

Ya i see i tested my code out with just some variables above. This worked for me

[code]echo"<OPTION VALUE='".$record['name']." ".$record['date']."'>".$record['name']." ".$record['date']."</OPTION>";[/code]

Test it with a database to get name and date on the same pull down menu dosent work agree varables without database works.


The full code test it on a database dosent work but name on it's own does.
[code]
<html>
<head>
<title>search2</title>
<body>
search me via search box
<form  method="post" action="search_result.php">
<SELECT NAME="name">
<?
$db=mysql_connect("localhost","xxx","xxx");
mysql_select_db("schollwork", $db);
$query="select * from feedback";
$result=mysql_query($query);
while($record=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
echo "<OPTION VALUE='". $record["name"]. " ". $record["date"]. "'>". $record['name']
$record['date'].;
}

?>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
[/code]

[code]echo "<OPTION VALUE='". $record["name"]. $record["date"]. "'>". $record['name']. "". $record['date']. "</OPTION>";[/code]
That works. You might want to separate the name and date with | to make it easier to split them later.

[code]echo "<OPTION VALUE='". $record["name"]. $record["date"]. "'>". $record['name']. "|". $record['date']. "</OPTION>";[/code]
