[RESOLVED] onChange this.value in URL

[Coruba67]

Hi guys,

I have this bit of code, and its a silly problem thats driving me mental.

echo "<select name=\"division\" onChange=\"window.location.href='Search.php?person=$person&division=" . this.value . "'\">";

When I change the value in the drop the URL I am taken to is Search.php?person=5&division=this.value

What I am trying to do is get the value of the drop down list in the URL, though I just can't seem to work it out. Any idea's?

this.value has no meaning in PHP.

You'll need to pass in the variable like you did for person. If you need the URL to be dynamic, you'll need to write a javascript function to replace the values in the query string.

Ok, I did that, thanks. I am a bit confused though why then when I was testing this worked perfectly ok!

echo "<select name=\"division\" onChange=\"alert(this.value)\">";

That's because you were just testing plain Javascript, not PHP.
