Hey guys, sorry i normally browse these forums and have done for a few years but never actually signed up, so.. first post...
I'm having a realllly annoying simple problem. i swear to god i've done this multiple times before but i just cant get it working -
Trying to make a select box auto submit and using PHP to check submission and echo results. I also tried jQuery submission incase it was some JS conflict.

I was putting this together for a little fitler on a Joomla site and stripped it out into a plain HTML doc just to test,and it still doesnt work.. my brain might be melting.
Any help is appreciated, i think i've just been staring at the site for too long but cant work it out...
