Putting Value in Select Menu

[obrienkev]

Hi all,

How do I use the value of the input field in the below select menu? So if $date1 is used then it should appear in place of 'Select Location'.

Thanks.

<input type="text" name="date1xx" value="<?php if(isset($date1)) { echo $date1; } ?>" size=25>

Here's the select menu...

echo '<label for="location">Location: </label><select name="location">';
echo '<option value= "0">Select Location</option>';
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
 		echo '<option value="'.$row['location_ID'].'">'.$row['location_name'].'</option>';
}
echo '</select>';

i don't understand the question. you want to use the value from one form field in another form field? this cannot be done with PHP until after the form has been submitted. this can be done with javascript but that is obviously beyond the scope of this forum.
