Select Problem

obrienkev

Hi all,

I have created a single webpage(index.php) with the following code...

Basically when the user selects an option and clicks submit the information should appear on the same page below the select menu.

However, It doesn't work.
Please could you help me out here.

Thank you very much,

Kevin.

<body>
<form action="" name=form>
<p>
<select name=site>
<option value="0">Go to.... </option>
<option value="1">News </option>
</select>
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Select">
</p>
</form>
<?php

include('list.php');
// create short variables
$site = $HTTP_POST_VARS['site'];

switch($site)
{
case "0":
echo 'Please select an option.';
break;
case "1":
news();
break;
}

?>
</body>

Here is my news() function...

<?php
function ERHA()
{
?>
<img src="image.jpg" alt="news" width="150" height="205" align="left">
<table width="64%" border="0">
<tr align="right">
<td colspan="4"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php
}
?>

Thanks again..

you have "" as the action for your form.

try this:

A quick glance at your code:

this is incorrect.. you need to specify the method the data will be sent eg post or get. Action is also blank. Try action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>

eg: <form method="post" action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>">

All it does now is just print the options on the screen...

i.ie. go to...news, reports

Any ideas???
