values are empty

Hi!

Can anyone tell me why this php-script doesn't fetch the value in my select/option form-field when I push the submit-button? It's just like he doesn't find any value in the drop-down. Is it because this is generated by a database and a loop?

[code=php]$sql = "SELECT * FROM hiredPeople ORDER BY email DESC";

$result = mysql_query($sql, $connection);

echo "<form action='";?><?=$PHP_SELF;?><?php echo "'
method='get' name='Receiver' target='mainFrame'>
<table>

<tr>

<td><select name='mailreceiverl_1'>

$numbers = mysql_num_rows($result);

for ($i = 0; $i<$numbers; $i++){
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

echo "<option>";
echo "{$row['email']}";
echo "</option>";

}
</td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td><input name='send' type='submit' value='update' /></td>
</tr>

if($_POST['send']) {

if(!empty($_POST['mailreceiverl_1'])){  
    $receiver1 = $_POST['mailreceiverl_1']; 
	$receiver1 = trim($receiver1);
	$receiver1 = htmlentities($receiver1);
	echo "<p>your e-mail was: ";
	echo $motBestVerkVolv_1;

echo "</p>";

}  [/code]

thanks!

Off course the last variable should be $receiver1 and not $motBestVerkVolv_1. But still, it doesn't work...

The code snippet you posted won't even parse correctly - you have a missing ending double quote after the SELECT element and before the $numbers = ... line.

Hi!

Thanks for noticing. They must have been left out when I put the script into this forum-thread. Still, after correcting these errors, it doesn't come up with any value when I push the submit button..

The next thing of interest is that you're specifying that the form use method='get', but then you look in $_POST for the values.
