PHP and HTML

[Anon]

Hello,
I have a form with a <SELECT> and on submit it runs a php code that:
1. gets fields from a table by a certain order
2. outputs the result to a HTML table
The final result has several tables (each one corresponds to an item on the SELECT).
I wonder if it's possible to implement HTML anchors on this code?
How can I relate an option selected to an anchor calling?

Eg:
from the HTML form:
<form action="glossResultII.php" method="get" target="mainFrame">

<select MULTIPLE name="gsearch" SIZE="2">
<option value="1">Hardware</option>
<option value="2">Software</option>
</select>

relate to the PHP result table:
printf("<TR><TD><FONT SIZE=\"5\" FACE=\"Tahoma\" color=\"#000033\"><A NAME=$type_name></A><B>");
printf("$type_name</B></FONT></TD></TR>");

I tried to use a case but it didn't work:
switch($gsearch){
case "1" : printf("<A HREF=\"glossresultII.php#Hardware\" target=\"mainFrame\" name=\"Hardware\"></A>");break;
case "2" : printf("<A HREF=\"glossresultII.php#Software\" target=\"mainFrame\" name=\"Software\"></A>");break;
}

If anyone can give me an hint on how to get this working...
TIA

Hi Arabela,

Try setting the name of the MULTIPLE SELECT as an array and carrying out the switch statement on that array instead.

<select name="gsearch[]" multiple size="2">

Hi,
I tried to do this, but it isn't working properly. If I do: echo $gsearch[$i]; it shows the value I selected 1..* but the switch statement isn't working.
If anyone has any ideas, maybe a different approach...

TIA
