retrieving values of drop-down lists

[Anon]

hi
i've got a page which draws <select> and <option> choices dynamically. each option for each drop-down list is a number, e.g. one of the choices is represented by the code :

<select name=cpnews_limit size=1>
<option value=1>1</option>
<option value=2>2</option>
<option value=3>3</option>
<option value=4>4</option>
<option value=5>5</option>
</select>

how can i retrieve the user-chosen value of this option when submit is pressed?

thanks a lot
rob

In the page the form tag is pointing to, you'll have a variable called $cpnews_limit. This will have the value of the option selected.
