[PHP] verifying that a dropdown was selected

2001-07-05 Thread Richard Kurth 


 I have a dropdown box that is for selecting the month How can I  be
 verified that the customer has selected one of the months. I am using
 verification like this but it does not do what I want for a dropdown
 box it works fine for regular fields

if ($month == ) {

$month_err = 
font color=redPlease enter the Month of expiration!/fontbr
;
$send = no;




select name='month' size='1'
option value='00' /option 
option value='01' 01/option
option value='02'02/option
option value='03'03/option
option value='04'04/option
option value='05'05/option











Best regards,
 Richard

  look at your option value=xx.

  if ( (isset($month))  ($month +0  0) ) {
   ...

Re: [PHP] verifying that a dropdown was selected

Hello Richard,

I'm not quite sure but I think the problem is the following:
  - If no month has been specified, the variable $month is not defined.
  - If you then mention $month in
   if ($month == ) 
the Parser creates the variable. Its value is unpredictable, but it is
most unlikely that
it is an empty string ().

To solve the problem, you should be able to check whether the variable
$month exists. I'm sorry I can't help you here because I've only started
programming PHP but reading the function reference or something might help you.

Good luck
 Tom

You could check if it has been set by doing:

if (isset($month))
or even
if ($month)

(I'm not 100% sure about the last one, though..)
