Form field list problem

[yoki]

Hi there,

I hope someone can help me on this matter. I have 2 forms that passes values between each other.

On the second page, I have a form with a list box that contains stored values (programmed in Javascript). The values returned are taken from the php echo command.

Here is the code:

<SELECT id=AbstractAuthors[]
style="WIDTH: 300px" size=6
name=AbstractAuthors[]>
<option selected value="FirstName{{{<? echo $POST['First_Name']; ?>}}}LastName{{{<? echo $POST['Last_Name']; ?>}}}Institution{{{<? echo $POST['Institution']; ?>}}}Department{{{<? echo $POST['Department']; ?>}}}City{{{<? echo $POST['City']; ?>}}}CountriesID{{{<? echo $POST['CountriesID']; ?>}}}isPresentingAuthor{{{true}}}"></option>
</SELECT></td>

The values come up when I put them in their respectable field using a javascript edit command on the html page. The only problem is I'm trying to put in the label field of the field box the last name and first name using PHP. Could anyone help me with this?

Thanks 🙂

I'm assuming all the {} are for the javascript to help you parse.

Are you trying to have the lastname, first name the visible value in the select box?
if so, this will do:

<SELECT id=AbstractAuthors[] 
style="WIDTH: 300px" size=6 
name=AbstractAuthors[]> 
<option selected value="FirstName{{{<? echo $_POST['First_Name']; ?>}}}LastName{{{<? echo $_POST['Last_Name']; ?>}}}Institution{{{<? echo $_POST['Institution']; ?>}}}Department{{{<? echo $_POST['Department']; ?>}}}City{{{<? echo $_POST['City']; ?>}}}CountriesID{{{<? echo $_POST['CountriesID']; ?>}}}isPresentingAuthor{{{true}}}"><?php 
echo $_POST['Last_Name'], ' ', $_POST['First_Name']; 
?></option> 
</SELECT></td>
