[RESOLVED] How to display selected values of drop down menu?

Techissue2008

Here is the code:

Please choose month:
<select name="month">
<option value="01">January</option> 
<option value="02">February</option> 
</select>
Please choose year:
<select name="year">
<option value="2008">2008</option> 
<option value="2009">2009</option> 
</select>
<input type="button" value="Submit Date" name="submitdate" />
Month / Year : <?php echo month; ?> / <?php echo year; ?>

How can the month and year to be displayed after pressing the submitdate button in the same php page?

You could do something like this:

<?php
if (isset($_POST['month'], $_POST['year'])) {
    echo 'Month / Year : ' . htmlspecialchars($_POST['month'] . ' / '
        . htmlspecialchars($_POST['year']);
}
?>

It shows syntax error, unexpected ';' in line:

. htmlspecialchars($_POST['year']);

Oh, I made a typographical error... can you spot it? 😉

Hint: it is a missing closing parenthesis.

htmlspecialchars($_POST['month'])
