select tag

[jakebrand]

Hello
I am running a script with a drop down menu, the menu is being pulled from a mysql table I swithc to php and do a query. And that is working just fine, but I can't get the select name to pass to the name to the next page.

There are several method for transferring data from page to page

1. Transfer variables through URL
   nextpage.php?var1=qwe123&var2=zxc

2. Transfer variable from FORM with post method (HTML)

<form name="logout" action="logout.php" method="post">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="LOGOUT">
<input type="hidden" name="var1" value="qwe123">
<input type="hidden" name="var2" value="zxc">
</form>

3. Register session variable
   ---------
   <? //firstpage.php
   session_start();
   session_register("var1_session");
   session_register("var2_session");
   $var1_session="qwe123";
   $var2_session="zxc";
   ?>
   ---------
   <?//nextpage.php
   session_register("var1_session");
   session_register("var2_session");
   echo $var1_session;
   echo $var2_session;
   session_destroy();//optional (may be in logout.php)
   ?>
