Problem with drop down menu

[egmweb]

Hello All.
Please help me with this code...

I'm making a drop down menu (<SELECT....)

I have also 3 options and each one has a value such a 1, 2 or 3.

The form method is get. My question is... I need to pass 2 variables, id=2 y id2=21 when I press bottom sumbit selecting only 1 option.

Here is the code, I'm making:

<select name="events">
<option selected>- Selecciona -</option>
<option value="1">Carnaval 2005 - Puerto La Cruz - 07/02/05</option>
<option value="2">Semana Santa 2005 - Margarita - 24/03/05</option>
<option value="3">Barranco Sport en Musipan - 26/03/05</option>
</select>

I need that when I select option 2, throught method get, I can pass to the next page 2 variables... id=2 and id=21

Thanks you.

<input type="hidden" id="var2" name="var2" value="21" />

Yes - why? If the only criteria for passing this extra variable is that id must equal 2, then why not bypass the whole addition thing, and simply detect on the next page if id=2 or not. It'd be a lot easier, IMHO.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Hello all, thanks you for your comments,

Ok. I´m going to explain you at all.

In the first page, I have the form and <SELECT... I´ve mentioned above. This select have 3 options, When the user select the first option it should have pass to the next page id=1 and id2=11, If the user select opcion 2 the form should pass to next page id=2 and id2=21 and with the third option it should pass to next page id=3 and id2=31.

This is because in the next page I have an php script which detect this id values for make a query and extract one of the 3 options of the database.

Thanks you for all help you can provide me.

Why not alter the script so that it knows what to set id2 to?

<?php

switch ($id) {
    case "1":
        $id2="11";
        break;
    case "2":
        $id2="21";
        break;
    case "3":
        $id2="31";
        break;

}
?>

If the value of id2 can be deduced then do the work in the PHP rather than struggling with passing data to the script.

Isn't it easier if you just do on your php page:

switch ($id)
{
  case 1:
    $id2 = 11;
    break;
  case 2:
    $id2 = 21;
    break;
  case 3:
    $id2 = 31;
    break;
  default:
    $id2 = 01;
}

Absolutely. Any data processing like this is always best done server-side, IMHO, in case JavaScript is disabled.

Heehee, you fast FoamCow you. At least we think alike.

 

[Foamcow]

Yeah, but looking our code, I did strings and you did integers so your's is probably more "right"!
