When you say "as the address", I assume you mean, the address in the form tag? That being the case, you can't do it that way because that is all parsed before it ever gets to the browser. Everything that is sent is exactly right. You have to (on the receiving page) take the separate month, day and year variables, and concatenate them into the usuable string you want.

Something like this for example.

$thedate = $_GET['date']."-".$_GET['month']."-01";

by the address i mean in the address bar

like it goes to when i hit submit

http://www.mountaincreekpark.ca/calender/calendar.php?month=01&date=2005&Submit=Submit

but im like trying to get this so come up cuz thats the way the calender i trying to end gets the date

http://www.mountaincreekpark.ca/calender/calendar.php?mode=cal&date=2005-09-01

its there is extra code i need it all has to be on this one im like adding it so that the person can pick the month and year they want to see

http://www.mountaincreekpark.ca/calender go to there and youll see that it can only go up and down by one month at at time i want to be able to jump around

Do what I told you to do, only name the variable $date instead of $thedate... So at the top of the page, put that code to define the $date variable concatenating the components from the form. You will need to put some error checking in there to default to something in case the page is accessed without any defined variables within the URL.

Hi,

What you see in the url, is exactly what the form produces: e.g.: He pases the value part of the drop-down box. So if you want to use the form to select the proper month, you have to list them like:

<select name="month">
<option value="2005-01-01">January 2005</option>

[felipe_lopes]

Just cut out the name="Submit" from the submit tag....leave just type and value

and add a hidden tag to the mode:
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="cal">
inside ther <form>
