pulldown menue problem

[fabian11]

hey all, i'm having a little trouble with this pulldown menu. the thing is i want the menu to show first name [fname] and last name [lname] and when the user selects that person i need to send both first and last names to kbgsearch.php. (ex. kbgsearch.php?fname=a?lname=b) but with this code line echo "<select name=\"lname\">"; just sends both first and last like this kbgsearch?lname=a+b anyone know a way around this?

<form action="kbgsearch.php">
<?
$result2 = mysql_query("SELECT lname, fname FROM Users WHERE grpnum = 1 ORDER by 'lname'");

if($myrow2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2)) ?>
<?{
echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"$PHP_SELF\">";
echo "<select name=\"lname\">";
do
{
echo "<option value=\"";
echo "$myrow2[fname] $myrow2[lname]";
echo "\">";
echo "$myrow2[fname] $myrow2[lname]";
echo "</option>";
} while ($myrow2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2));
echo "<br><input type=\"Submit\" name = \"submit\" value = \"Go see individual\" align = \"MIDDLE\">";
echo "</form>";

}

?>

thanks in adavnce

Hehe, I think you should read a book about HTML..
When you submit a form, it will send each form-object as a variable.
Your HTML looks like this:

<select name="lname">
<option value="Sjoerd Surname">Sjoerd Surname</option>
<option value="First Last">First Last</option>
</select>

So when you submit the form, only a var called lname will be added to the url. The value of that var is the option you have selected.
To get a URL like fname=a&fname=b you have to make two <select> fields. One named fname and one named lname 🙂

BTW: URL won't look like this:
kbgsearch.php?fname=a?lname=b
They will look like this:
kbgsearch.php?fname=a&lname=b
