Well, this is my original Code: ------------------
// Theme echo ' <form name="theme" action="options.php" target="right" class="menu" METHOD="POST"> <select name="theme">'; for($i=0;$i<sizeof($theme_name);$i++) { echo "<option value='".$i."'>".$theme_name[$i]."</option>\n"; } echo '</select> <input type=submit name=get value=select>'; $var_from_dropdown = $_POST['theme']; exec("echo $var_from_dropdown > /tmp/varfromdropdown"); ---------------- The file /tmp/varfromdropdown is still emty. (the dropdown field is NOT emty by the time i press the select button) Any other ideas? > From: Jay Blanchard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > > [snip] > // Theme > echo ' > <form name="theme" action="options.php" target=right class=menu> > <select name="theme">'; > for($i=0;$i<sizeof($theme_name);$i++) > { > echo "<option value='".$i."'>".$theme_name[$i]."</option>\n"; > } > > echo '</select> <input type=submit name=get value=select > METHOD=POST>'; > // or: > echo '</select> <input type=submit name=get value=select > METHOD="POST">'; > > $var_from_dropdown = $_POST['theme']; > exec("echo $var_from_dropdown > /tmp/varfromdropdown"); > > the exec line seems to works since it created the file.
