$_POST question, I can't retrieve <select> forms...I think

[Avimander]

What did I do wrong? I'm trying to retrieve what was selected for the Select named "first" by doing: <?=$_POST['first']?> but it returns nothing.

HTML:

<FORM NAME=FORM1 METHOD=POST>
<SELECT size=1 name=first>
<OPTION value=0>0</OPTION>
<OPTION value=1>1</OPTION>
<OPTION value=2>2</OPTION>
<OPTION value=3>3</OPTION>
<OPTION value=4>4</OPTION>
<OPTION value=5>5</OPTION>
<OPTION value=6>6</OPTION>
</SELECT>
<INPUT ONCLICK="document.FORM1.Yes1.disabled=true; document.FORM1.first.disabled=true; document.FORM1.third.disabled=false; document.FORM1.fourth.disabled=false; document.FORM1.second.disabled=true; document.FORM1.Yes2.disabled=false" NAME=Yes1 TYPE=button VALUE=Yes! CLASS=AttB>

You could try

<?php echo $_POST['first']; ?>

short_tags might be off.

Is "first" a reserved word?! Because I try the exact same thing wit "blah" and it works.

nope... you can pretty much use any word.
