I have a select menu created by a foreach loop. I am trying to validate that there was a selection made before it is submitted to the database. But I am not doing something correctly. <select name="market" class="ajax" onchange="javascript:get(this.parentNode);"> <option value="">Choose...</option> <?php foreach($market_prefix as $key => $value) { $selected = ''; if($value == $market) { $selected = 'selected'; } echo '<option value="', htmlspecialchars($value), '" ', $selected, '>', htmlspecialchars($market_name[$key]), '</option>'; } ?> </select> I am using the folling on the posted page. if (! array_key_exists($_POST['market'], $market_name)) { echo "You did not select a market."; } Thank you, Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
