OK... I think I understand what you are getting at here, but I don't think this actually addresses the problem that I am having. I have, in other places, the direct value successfully passing from one page to another. In this case, what I am lacking is the selected data actually getting populated into the array in the first place. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Walling [mailto:Ben.Walling@geac.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 1:48 PM To: NIPP, SCOTT V (SBCSI) Cc: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: RE: Stumped again... Your code: while($name = mysql_fetch_row($groups_tmp)) { $grp_list .= "<option>$name[0]</option>\n"; } should be changed to: while($name = mysql_fetch_row($groups_tmp)) { $grp_list .= "<option value=".$name[0].">$name[0]</option>\n"; } The value property of the option tag is actually what gets submitted to the next page. The text that immediately follows <option value=x> is what is displayed to the user. So, for this (HTML) code: <SELECT NAME=Test> <OPTION VALUE=1>Thing One <OPTION VALUE=2>Thing Two </SELECT> The user would see a list with: Thing One Thing Two The next page would get either 1 or 2 as the value for Test. -----Original Message----- From: NIPP, SCOTT V (SBCSI) [mailto:sn4265@sbc.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 2:43 PM To: Ben Walling; 'php-db@lists.php.net' Subject: RE: Stumped again... I don't really understand this suggestion. Could someone possibly expound on this further? Maybe an example?
