assign the values from a list to a variable

[andreii]

Hello.I have this piece of code

function make_calendar_pulldowns($m = NULL) {

$choice = array (1 => 'Hardware', 'Software', 'Console', 'Others');


echo '<select name="month">';
foreach ($choice as $key => $value) {
		echo "<option value=\"$key\"";
		if ($key == $m) { // preselectare ?! 
		echo ' selected="selected"';
		}
		echo ">$value</option>\n";
}

echo '</select>';

And i print it using

<p>Category:  <?php make_calendar_pulldowns($categories['mon']); ?> </p>

which i use to generate a drop down list.I want to assign the selected values to a variable, but i can't make it work.

you need to wrap our select making code with a html form, then when you submit the form the value of the selected item will be in the $POST or $GET array, which you use in make_calendar_pulldowns()
