Just the page..

 

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">

Simply leave the action out all together.

 

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post">

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post">

Is that not invalid html?

[darkhappy]

so if you put button a submit button at the end of the form with no action in the post, does it just reload the page?

 

         

  <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post">

<select name="company2">
<?php
while ($s = mysql_fetch_array($result2)) {
$cname_list = $s["cname"];
?>
<option value="<?php echo $cname_list; ?>"><?php echo $cname_list; ?></option>
<?php
	}
?>
 <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Go" />
</form>

Yes. It's easier to try then to ask.

Actually, you are correct. It is invalid, though it works it will not validate.

 

Hadn't even looked at it before.

yeah i did try before i asked but having problems with my code so needed to confirm - thanks everyone for the help!

I am not sure if an empty string for the action="" validates but it is refers to the same page.

Yes the empty string for the action validates fine. I tried it.

I would still recomend filling it in. Maybe using REQUEST_URI would be better, it includes the querysting aswell.

 

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="<?=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>">
