to pass session values, with a textbox I'm doing like this: <input name="El2" type="text" id="El2" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['El2']; ?>"> what I can't find out about is if I have a select menu with a dynamic table feeding it: <td>State 1 </td> <td><select name="State1" id="State1"> <?php while(!$rsStates->EOF){ ?> <option value="<?php echo $rsStates->Fields('StateID')?>"><?php echo $rsStates->Fields('States')?></option> <?php $rsStates->MoveNext(); } $rsStates->MoveFirst(); ?> So the php is doing the feed of the dynamic table, but I have no idea where to set the session variable. It's not an array, but does it get treated like one ? Stuart -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
