PHP and HTML (again...)

[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).

Code Eg:
from the HTML form:
<form action="glossResultII.php" method="get" target="mainFrame">
<select name="gsearch[]" MULTIPLE SIZE="2">
<option value="1">Hardware</option>
<option value="2">Software</option>
</select>

relate to the PHP result table:
printf("<TR><TD><A NAME=$type_name></A>");
printf("$type_name</TD></TR>");

I tried to use a case but it didn't work:
switch($gsearch[$k]){
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;
}

The array is working Ok (if I echo $gsearch[$i] it shows the correct value) but the switch isn't doing anything, therefore the anchors aren't working...

Any suggestions?!

TIA

Hi,

It may just be an omission from your code but where is the actual link inbetween <a href...>AND</a> Without this there would be nothing to click on as a link. If it is just an accidental omission ignore me ;¬)

well, that's just the problem. The anchor should be activated through the <SELECT> not by clicking... I tried your suggestion anyway but it kept doing ...nothing...

Thanks anyway ;o)
