Forms & Variable Help Required

[Anon]

I need help passing information from one page to another.

On page one I have a form with a drop down list which a user may mak a selection. When this form is then submitted it goes to page two -->

Page two needs to be able to show in a table column one the selected display text of the drop down and in column two the value of the drop down.

Does anyone know how to do this??

Many thnaks

Since you are already getting the value for the drop down, your question is how to get the text (display) for it.

Here's a way to do it.
In the declaration for the button that submits your form on page 1 include an onClick handler:
<button onClick='prepSubmit()'>Go To Page 2</button>

The form should include a hidden variable:
<input type=hidden name=ddText>

Now include some javascript code:
<script>
prepSubmit() {
var frm=document.forms.formNameGoesHere
var dd=frm.elements.ddIdGoesHere
frm.elements.ddText.value = dd.options[dd.SelectedIndex].text
frm.submit()
}
</script>

Is there no way that php can handle this?

There is a lot of jscript included in the page as it is due to me building invoices on the fly.

Thanks,
