select tag value not printed

[Tiger99]

Hi
my problem is i have this code
echo "<form action='review.php' method='post'>";
echo "<select name='id'>";
echo "</select>
<input type='submit' name='send' value='Send'>
</form>";
in a script called main.php

Then I have this code
<?php
if($send="Send"){
echo $id;
}else{
echo "bye";
}
?>
in the review.php

However, when it goes to review.php, the script doesn't print the $id number

why???

Please helppp

you forgot the option tag.
change like this.

echo "<form action='review.php' method='post'>";
echo "<select name='id'>";
echo "<option value='abcde' selected>abcde</option>";
echo "</select>
<input type='submit' name='send' value='Send'>
</form>";

cmiiw

Yes I have option tag, sorry I forgot to put it on my first post

echo"<option value='$id[$i]' selected>$name[$i]";

However, it still doesn't print

Why???
