Multiple variables transmitted with option value?

[emrys404]

Okay like the title says is there a way to transmit two variables with an option value?
ie.
<select name="status">
<option value="Mod">Moderator</option>
<option value="Admin">Administrator</option>
</select>

If they select Mod i want it to transmit two variables. the first that is status = mod; the second that says group = 2;

Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Well, you could use Javascript to set a hidden form field appropriately, or you could have an option value like "Mod:2" and have PHP separate it at the server....

But neither seem like sensible ideas to me: what happens if someone puts together a bogus form and you get "Mod:1"? More sensible would be to have only one value sent from the form, and have the server look up what the other value should be.

I am of course assuming that if "Mod" is selected, then "2" is always selected. But if the number is different, then it would need to be a different form field. If you don't want people selecting the group number themselves, then you'll probably have to go for the Javascript option; of course, you'll still have to check in case someone sends you a fake form submission.
