[wdvltalk] Re: inserting id of posted field

[Howard Cheng]

This assumes that 'poem_title' is the name of your SELECT box (in an 
earlier post, you had used $_POST['$poem_title'] which would be 
incorrect). This expression will return the VALUE of the OPTION. 
Customarily, that's where you would put the ID you wanted. What exactly 
are you getting -- the title? What do your OPTIONs look like?

I'm going round in circles on this.
I have a form which takes fields from two tables;  but I need to insert the
id from the row of that field in both cases.
'{$_POST['poem_title']}'
will happily return a figure from the form so to that extent it is working.
But how do I turn that line into one that will record the id?   I have
looked at a lot of possibilities, but I just can't find anything that I can
make work.
