passing all value from drop down box

[hykc]

hi,

how can i pass all value in drop down box to another page?

i have a page which ask user to select file(page1.html)
and it will pass(using javascript) the file name to page2(page2.php) drop down box.
so i can have a list of file which the user selected in page1.html

and now i want all value in page2.php drop down box to store in DB.

anyone can help me please?
thx

I don't get your meaning......
Especailly this sentence:

and now i want all value in page2.php drop down box to store in DB.

You might try this!?

<form action="page2.php" method="......>
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="value">
......
<input type="submit" value="SUBMIT">
</form>

in page1.html
<input type=file name=filename>
<input type=submit name=submit>

whenever i submit page1.html
filename will pass to page2.php dropdown box

<select name="mydropdown">
<option value="filenamefrompage1.html">....</option>
</select>

and i can have multiple files in the dropdown since every entry from page1 will pass to page2.

now i want my php page to retrieve all value in page2.php "mydropdown" (or all options in the select box)

is that clearer?
thx for your reply

Yes, much clearer......

But how do you send the input values from page1.html to page2.php? You said you use JavaScript, did it mean that the filename(s) was/were passed wihout pressing "Sumbit" button??

To the codes you posted, I think it should be something like this in page2.php:

$filenamefrompage1 = $_POST["filename"];

The file name input in page1.html with name="filename" will then available in $filenamefrompage1.

i found other post which talk about submitting multiple value.

i should use multiple in select field and using
<select name="selector[]">

but i come up another issue.
how Javascript access selector[] in this case?

can anyone tell me?

since i have to submit all Options in the Select field, so i have to
use javascript to select all options b4 the form being submitted
