I would wager that it is mostly likely a misspelling on the forms page (check the html source once it is generated), unless you happen to be using 'person' as a name for another tag. Try grabbing the 'person' data from $_POST['person'].
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Chris Overland Sent: Sunday, October 09, 2005 11:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [php_mysql] Passing data I have a form with two drop down boxes that are hard coded as in the example below, and another drop down (pull down) box that is populated as a result of a MySQL query. All appears to work as it should with the exception that after choices have been made and the submit button clicked, (to either enter the data into another database OR work together in another query - I've tried both), the field that was populated by the initial query does not pass it's data as the hard coded fields do. In other words, the 'month' below passes user data to $month in mmonth.php but the data in the queried cell 'person' does not pass to $person in mmonth.php - can anyone tell me why is that? TIA and thanks Michael for the earlier reply on php emailing - appreciate it... <form method="post" action="mmonth.php"> <input type="hidden" name="id" value="NULL"> <tr> <td><b>Month:</b></td> <td><select name="month"> <option value = "Jan">Jan</option> <option value = "Feb">Feb</option> <option value = "Mar">Mar</option> <option value = "Apr">Apr</option> <option value = "May">May</option> etc </select> </td> </tr> __________________________________ Yahoo!
