i have a listbox:
<select name="users">
<?php
//connect to db and get query
mysql_connect(".....");
mysql_select_db("...");
$query=mysql_query("select username from users);
/*finish the listbox*/
while($account=mysql_fetch_array($query)){
echo "<option value=$account[username]>$account[username]<br>";
}
?>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="send">got it to fill listbox with usernames.. now my question is how do you use the $users variable in the php script that deals with the listbox? iat this point all i wanted to do was print the user name that was selected in the listbox but after i get how that works then it will load a form with all user data in it so it can be changed.. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
