sending more than one <option value>

[phence]

Is there a way to assign two values to be passed from <select> box to be collected as a $_POST?

say i have a <select> box.
Each <option> has a price and a 3 digit code.
When a user selects an option, i can only pass one, either the 3 digit code Or the price. I need to be able to send both together, but seperately.

Example: <option value=123>123 - $1.00</option>

I hope thats clear.. I appreciate all and any help.
Thanks!

You can just use some sort of delimeter to join both values and then to break them apart at the next step.

Example: <option value=123|1.00>123 - $1.00</option>

look at the explode() or split() functions
