how do I read from a html select in php?

[yona]

I have the following select:
<select name=exemplare>
<option value=0>Disponibila</option>
<option value=1>Imprumutata</option>
</select>
How do I read the information from it whit php functions to insert it into a batabase?

You can read it by the name
$_POST['exemplare'];

and later use it in what ever process you would like the value to go through.. 🙂

I use $REQUEST to read in php from html.
If i use $POST i get the error ": Undefined index: exemplare ";

What is the diference between them?

You are probably using <FORM method='GET' >

In this case use $GET or $REQUEST either works.

I think there may be another question you want to ask. 🙂

$REQUEST will be consisting the contents of $GET, $POST, and $COOKIE. $_FILES, too but only after PHP 4.3.0.
