Variables in the form tag

Vinnepin

Hey guys,

OK here's the part of code that i use :

blablabla....

echo "<option value=\"".$row["aid"]."\">".$row["aid"]." - ".$row["path"]."</option>\n";

blablalbla...

What my problem is when i submit the page i cant get to read the value of the option?!?!?
Do u guys know how i can read this value after i submitted the form?

Thx in advance

Well, like any other form field it would probably be in $METHOD['field'], where METHOD is the method your form uses, and field is the name of the containing select entity in the form. Unless you're using a pre-4.1 version of PHP, in which case the array is $HTTPMETHOD_VARS[].

I tried to get it out like this :

$temp = "$row["aid"]";

But when i try this the var $temp contains zero 🙁.

What am i doing wrong??

See above post. If that doesn't help, then you'll need to rephrase your question.

Ok i give u what i try :

 
if($event == upload){
    echo "\"".$row["aid"]."\";
}

<form name="form1" method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="event" value="upload">
Upload een nieuwe foto : <input type="file" name="imagefile"><BR>
In welk Album :
<select name="album">
<?
  mysql_connect("$dbserver","$dbuser","$dbpass");
  mysql_select_db("$dbname");
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM album_albums ORDER BY aid ASC");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
    echo "<option value=\"".$row["aid"]."\">".$row["aid"]." - ".$row["path"]."</option>\n";
    $i++;
  }
echo "</select>\n";
mysql_close($connection);
?>
</select><BR>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Verstuur">
</form>

When i submit the form i am trying to get the Value of the option.
But when i try to echo the value i get nothing 🙁.

Can u see what i am doing wrong ??

Damn im really stupid :p

What i was doing is looking at the value of the option but i MUST look at the name of the select lol.

That what your mind gets after some sex u can think straight 😃

But thx for the replies.
