PHP email form w/drop down selections

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I have a very simple php email form, just text input fields. But now I’d like to add a drop down list. How do I go about this? Naming the list in the HTML file? php code?

@caynadaauthorDec 30.2003 — Thanks for the link. Do you know if that server is having any problems? I can not seem to access it, keep getting server can not be found message.

@pyroDec 30.2003 — Yes, right now my server is down. Should (hopefully...better be... grrr... :o) be back up soon.

@caynadaauthorDec 30.2003 — Thanks very much for your help. I'll check on that link later on today. Best of luck with getting your server back up.

@pyroDec 30.2003 — Ok, sounds like a plan... It's actually just playing the waiting game, as the server is just a shared server. Just checked up on it, and apparently there is a network attack taking place... Hopefully it won't be down too long.

@caynadaauthorDec 30.2003 — Your server is back up and running, I like the site! Bare with me cause I'm new to PHP, but I can't seem to find the info about arrays. If I have a drop down with three selections ( a,b & c) how do I write the PHP code to display the viewers choice?

@pyroDec 30.2003 — Unless they can select multiple items out of the drop down, you just do it like this:

[code=php]echo $_POST['name_of_dropdown'];[/code]

@caynadaauthorDec 30.2003 — Yeah, they will only be able to select one item. Thanks very much for that, you've been a big help!
