I have been working on this one page for 2 days now, and can't figure out what I am doing. So I thought I would turn to the wise souls here in PHP land. I am building a selection list that uses a sql query to build the values. I then want to pass the selected value back to the database. This is a data entry form. Any help anyone can give me would be great. <html> <head><title>Technology Education Lesson Plan Database</title><link href="/Library/general.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"></head> <body> <h1>National Benchmark Entry</h1> <form action='benchmarkaddnational.php' method='post' name='National Benchmarks'> <? $id = $_REQUEST["rec_id"]; $name = $_REQUEST["name"]; $DBconn = mysql_connect("archammer", "DBuser", "password"); mysql_select_db("tessmerproject", $DBconn) or die(mysql_error ()); // create the query $sql = "select code from tbl_national_goal_seed order by code"; $results = mysql_query($sql, $DBconn); print "<select name='code'>"; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($results)){ $code = $row['code']; print "<option value='$code'>$code</option>"; } print $code; $sql = "INSERT INTO tbl_unit_national (id, name, natcode) VALUES ('$id','$name', '$codeselection')"; $results = mysql_query($sql, $DBconn) ?> <input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> </body> </html> PHP Data object relational mapping generator http://www.metastorage.net/ Yahoo!
