Combobox

[Anon]

Hi,
I read data from a mysql table, then I put it in a combobox, but I don't know how to put it forward.
I select a category in the combobox and I would like to have the selected category shown in selected.php
Anyone knows the solution?

<form action="selected.php" method="post">
<table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0" style="WIDTH: 412px; HEIGHT: 232px">
<tr>
<td width="130">Category</td>
<td><select name=category[] size=<? echo count($cat)+1; ?>style="WIDTH: 207px">
<?

	while($cat=mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) 
	{
	while(list($key, $val1) = each($cat))
	{
		echo "<option value=$key"; 
		for($i=0;$i<count($cat);$i++)
		{
	    	if ($cat[$i]==$key)
		    {
			echo " selected"; 
			}
		}
		echo ">$val1\n"; 
	}					
	}
	?>
</td>

</tr>
</form>

Jill,
Are you trying to send a user to selected.php from their choice in the combo box? If so then you could use javascript to accomplish that. If not then I am not getting what you want to do.

Hard to tell what's going on here. What is supposed to be in $cat, it's used inside and outside the loop a couple of different ways.
