how can i get the value in this form?

zurron

ok. I fill the options in the selected area with the result of a query

 
    <?php
     while ($row = pg_fetch_row($result)) {
             printf("<OPTION VALUE=\"$row[0]\"> %s </OPTION>",$row[0]);

       }    
 ?>

</SELECT><BR>

but, later I need selec one of this options and do other query

how can I the value of it?

thanks

A field with option has to be something like this:
<select name="blah">
<option value="1">option 1</option>
<option value="2">option 2</option>
</select>

The value will automatically be stored to blah.
So if you want the value, you do this:

echo  $HTTP_POST_VARS['blah'];

.
If the user selected 'option 1', it will display option 1, and if the user selected option 2, option 2 🙂

Does it make any difference whey you change it in this:
$HTTP_POST_VARS['sena_allowed_ip'] ??

zurron

I already changed it, and still does not work

sgoku01

Does it display anything al all?? Or only 'It must be '?

zurron

it only displays 'it must be'

siwis

have you inspected the source html for the form you are using to pass the <select> from to ensure that the value="" is not empty??

zurron

siwis:

it's the result when I saw the source in the browser:

so, it isn't the problem, do you think that could be a problem with the configuration of php on php.ini?

please help me!!

Maybe I am completely missing something, but


if(isset($delete)){ 

$d=$HTTP_POST_VAR['sena_allowed_ip'];


  echo "it must be $d";

}

The above is in your delete_ip.php script, but your form is pointing to:

/deleteip/delete_ip.php , so "delete" is not set!

Try $PHP_SELF or if the delete script is purely for deleting change to something like this:


   $d=$HTTP_POST_VAR['sena_allowed_ip'];
echo "it must be $d";

Sorry, this was done in a hurry..

PS:

Also you have an error in form:

<SELECT NAME NAME="sena_allowed_ip" SIZE=5 onChange="" >

Take out 1 name.

If you are still having problems, post all your code and I will help more. Is

<TITLE>Deleting IP address Manager</TITLE>

that part of the same page?

zurron

jabba_29:

first is:
$d=$HTTP_POST_VARS ['sena_allowed_ip'];

and second the problem was in

this extra "NAME" was the problem!!!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
