What are you trying to do? Don't you want the value in the <option> part...not in a hidden field?
<option value="whatever">Display This</option> Then "whatever" will be passed as the value of the $select box. Are you trying to do something else? If so, create your <input type="hidden" string instead of echoing it out within the loop. $hidden .= "<input type='hidden' ... Then echo out $hidden _after_ </select> ---John Holmes... > -----Original Message----- > From: Smita Manohar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 6:31 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [PHP-DB] sending hidden values > > hi all, > in my php script im using <SELECT> in <FORM> element. > the <OPTION> values for <SELECT> tag are coming from database. and the > situation in my code is that, those values i need to pass as a hidden > value > thru form. > > im doing it as, > <FORM method="post" action="act_modify.php"> > . > . > . > <SELECT NAME="item_v"> > // some stuff before this to build query > <? > $result = mysql_query($query) or die ("SELECT failed."); > while ($list = mysql_fetch_array($result)) > { > > print('<INPUT type ="hidden" name=item_array[] value=' > ".$list[item_id]."
