simple HTML form & PHP question

hello

i have a HTML form (which the user completes) that submits the information in it to a PHP script which then compiles the information and enters it into a database. The problem is not all the data is being passed to the Database. i have noticed that the fields which have data missing from them is where the form is of the drop-down list type e.g. title -> mr, mrs, miss, Dr. can anyone tell me what i need to do to pass the drop-down list information to the PHP script and then to the database?

any help will be great

Didn't test it, but this should work.

Code:

<select name="title">
<option value="a">a</option>
<option value="b">b</option>
</select>

Here the value is stored in the variable $_POST['title'] and according to what the user chooses, the value should be eighter "a" or "b".

 

bingo - it worked.Thanks a million

 

I'm guessing that you didn't specify the value attributes?

 

yeah that correct
