Form help

[EchoFool]

I have a select box in my form which is this:

 

<select name="MailBan" size="1">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="0">First Time spamming mail box!</option>
<option value="5">Second Time spamming mail box!</option>
<option value="15">Third Time spamming mail box!</option>
<option value="30">Fourth Time spamming mail box!</option>
<option value="31">Fifth Time or more  spamming mail box!</option>

 

 

 

The problem is my form is not getting the option value its always coming out blank... this happens on any of the options . The first option it is meant to be blank to avoid any one accidentally having the first option set and hitting submit.

 

Then in my php i have:

<?php
$Value = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['MailBan']);
	Echo $Value;
	If($Value == ''){
	?>
		<br><br>
		<p align=center>
		<span class="NegativeMoney">You must choose the players offence from the box!</span><br><br>
		<a href="<?=$_SESSION['url1']?>">Back</a>
		</p>
		<br><br><br><br>
	<?php
}
?>

 

All i get it this error which is in the above script.. any help is much appreciated.

I think you have for got to close the select tag try using </select> to close the select tag after the options tag..

that's the first thing I see as well,

 

if that doesn't work verify that no variables are bing passed, you can do this with an excellent plugin for Firefox called LIve HTTP Headers

 

it will tell you what data is in the post field,

 

following that you'll know whether your problem lies in the HTML or the PHP
