@gogelpotNov 21.2006 — #Does your script have to redirect the browser to either English.php or German.php. Or is it the value of $book that you want to set before submitting (passing the value of $book) it to another PHP file.

First you need to name the Select...

<i>
 </i>&lt;HTML&gt;
 &lt;form method = "post" value="myScript.php"&gt;
 &lt;select Name="Book"&gt;
 &lt;option&gt;Yes&lt;/option&gt;
 &lt;option&gt;No&lt;/option&gt;
 &lt;/select&gt;
 &lt;input type="submit" value="ok"/&gt;
 &lt;/form&gt;
 &lt;/HTML&gt;

Then your php code would be something like this...

<i>
 </i>&lt;?
 if (isset($_POST['Book'])) {
 // you may need/want to set the variable first...
 $book = '';
 if ($_POST['Book'] == 'Yes') {
 $book='English.php';
 }
 else {
 $book='German.php';
 }
 }
 ?&gt;

Now if you're trying to go to one of those pages depending on which one is selected... try this...

<i>
 </i>
 &lt;?
 // assuming this page is named test.php
 if (isset($_POST['Book'])) {
 // you may need/want to set the variable first...
 $book = '';
 if ($_POST['Book'] == 'Yes') {
 $book .= 'English.php';
 }
 else {
 $book .= 'German.php';
 }
 header('Location: http://www.yourURL.com/' . $book);
 }
 ?&gt;
 &lt;HTML&gt;
 &lt;form method = "post" value="test.php"&gt;
 &lt;select Name="Book"&gt;
 &lt;option&gt;Yes&lt;/option&gt;
 &lt;option&gt;No&lt;/option&gt;
 &lt;/select&gt;
 &lt;input type="submit" value="ok"/&gt;
 &lt;/form&gt;
 &lt;/HTML&gt;

@gogelpotNov 21.2006 — #I think "theRamones" gave you the answer.

@teongkiaauthorNov 22.2006 — #Hi let me explain in detail on what i want.Actually im a trainee and my boss ask me to create a program.The company is

selling a website which provides 8 services.What my boss ask me to do is create a program where i can choose yes or no

for each service and when go into the website i would not able to click on those link which i selected no.For example

there are 8 language services english,german and so on.when i click no for german and the other click ok.after i click

submit button,the array will be set and when i go into the website and when i click on german link, it will link to service is

not available page.For example the service is not available page i save as notavailable.php and german page is

german.php.On the main page of website i save it as index.php.so i set all those services to array such as

$english,$german and so on.how can i make it that when i click no on german, the $german='noservice.php' and when i click

yes the $german="german.php'.hope u understand my idea...and help me out...thanks..

@AmazingAntNov 22.2006 — #Ok, lets see here...

...is it once i click ok button then the $book will be set to what i chose permanently?...[/quote]
No, the variable $book will not exist after the page finishes loading.

As for the rest of it,

have the form send it's information to a file with this code, making sure that you name the select portion of the form "language".

[code=php]
 <?php
 if (isset($_POST['language']){
 setcookie("language", $_POST['language'], time()+60*60*24*365);
 }
 ?>
 [/code]

That will set a cookie on the client's machine, with the language they selected in it.

And then for your main page on the german service, do like so:

[code=php]
 <?php
 if (isset($_COOKIE['language'])){
 $redir = "Location: http://www.Website.com/german.php";
 if ($_COOKIE['language'] != "german"){
 $redir = "Location: http://www.Website.com/noservice.php";
 }
 header($redir);
 }
 ?>
 [/code]

Does that work?

@teongkiaauthorNov 22.2006 — #example code in index.php

<a href="$german" class="link"><img src="../frontpage-admin/images/admin_home_facilities.gif" border="0">

the $german will be set when i click yes or no..

how should i do it in the option list file...

@teongkiaauthorNov 22.2006 — #Hi AmazingAnt..didnt u read the long statement i wrote?i was thinking if i use session i can set it for any period i like but is it better if i use database to store what i selected and retrieve the array i store using from MySQL?do u think this is better way?

thanks...

@sb_Nov 22.2006 — #Your language files.

<i>
 </i>$book = {"english" =&gt; "german",
 "etc" =&gt; "etc"};

You're page with the language change.

<i>
 </i>include(''.$language.'.php');
 // ....

@AmazingAntNov 22.2006 — #Hi AmazingAnt..didnt u read the long statement i wrote?i was thinking if i use session i can set it for any period i like but is it better if i use database to store what i selected and retrieve the array i store using from MySQL?do u think this is better way?

thanks...[/QUOTE]If you can work with MySQL, the yes, that would be a better way. You must remember that there is no way to permanantly track a user however, since their IP address can change, they can remove cookies, etc..

And yes, I did read it. I've read everything in this thread. Some of it is just a little hard to understand. You don't exactly have perfect English skills.
<a href="$german" class="link"><img src="../frontpage-admin/images/admin_home_facilities.gif" border="0">

the $german will be set when i click yes or no..[/QUOTE]
No, that won't set it. If you want it to set to yes when you click on an image for german, then it will need to be like this: href="next-page.php?lan=german" and then use the other page to find out what $_GET['lan'] is, and then set everything in MySQL however you need it.

@teongkiaauthorNov 23.2006 — #oh thanks lot Ant, i think i get it..maybe will need your help soon..thanks lot...
