coding issue

JD_

i cannot for the life of me figure what is wrong with this? when i click submit in the url it goes to

index.php?selectid=Crabmill+Flash&Submit=Submit+Query

where the hell is this +Query coming from? it should be

index.php?action=post

maybee am i just having one of those days

<? include ("db.php"); ?>
<form name="select" method="post" action="index.php?action=post" target="_parent">
<?php 
$result2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM products ORDER BY cname ASC"); 
if(mysql_num_rows($result2) > 0) { 
?>
  Select an entry: 
  <select name="selectid">
   <?php 
   while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result2)) { 
?>
                <option><?php echo $row['cname'];?></option>

            <?php 
   } 
} 
?>
              </select>
  <input type="submit" name="Submit">
</form>

thanks for ur help!

You can't add a query string when using the POST method in a form. Use a hidden field instead.

You can't add a query string when using the POST method in a form.

If you mean you can't combine get with post, I have to differ, Shrike; you can.

Why not? It works fine for me.

As for the original question, the code posted doesn't match the url its being sent to. Perhaps the server is using an older file?

No I mean that the variable won't appear in the $POST array...if you want to mix up $GET and $_POST then go for it, but it gets confusing (I know, I've tried 🙂 )
