HTML form submit to PHP script

It always passes the text in the quotes. In this case «selected» . How do I pass one of the strings from the option?

Both your select control and your submit button had the same name attribute, so the last one used was the submit button when you clicked it. All other syntax errors aside.

check.php

Obligatory disclaimer about using raw $_POST data. Sanitize anything you’ll actually be using in application logic.

• As your form gets more complex, you can a quick check at top of your php script using print_r($_POST); , it’ll show what’s being submitted an the respective element name.
• To get the submitted value of the element in question do: $website_string = $_POST[‘website_string’];

It appears that in PHP you are obtaining the value of the submit button, not the select input. If you are using GET you will want to use $_GET[‘website_string’] or POST would be $_POST[‘website_string’] .

You will probably want the following HTML:

With some PHP that looks like this:

$website = $_POST[«website_string»]; Yes thats the code. When I had it as a text box it sent the proper text. But the free form style let people make mistakes. So I wanted to change to a drop down box. But I cannot get the right text passed.

I changed it to your code. in the php file I added print_r($_POST); The result is: Array ( [website_string] => Submit ) . So its sending the text Submit.

@Joe: Oh wow, my bad. Please remove ‘name=»website_string»‘ from the submit input. I edited my code to remove this; it should function correctly now. Sorry.

Assuming you’ve fixed the syntax errors (you’ve closed the select box before the name attribute), you’re using the same name for the select box as the submit button. Give the select box a different name.

I changed each and get the same results. If I change the first to website_str, I still get the text returned as submit instead of the string I want.

I changed the location of the /select. It does not change the result. The problem is submit is not sending the proper value. If I put value=»fff» it will send fff. otherwise it is sending submit. There must be a way to specify the value as selected.

For your actual form, if you were to just post the results to your same page, it should probably work out all right. Try something like:
