[RESOLVED] Extracting html select value post form....

[KiwiDexter]

<SELECT NAME="movierating">
<OPTION VALUE="1">1 / 10
<OPTION VALUE="2">2 / 10
<OPTION VALUE="3">3 / 10
<OPTION VALUE="4">4 / 10
<OPTION VALUE="5">5 / 10
<OPTION VALUE="6">6 / 10
<OPTION VALUE="7">7 / 10
<OPTION VALUE="8">8 / 10
<OPTION VALUE="9">9 / 10
<OPTION VALUE="10">10 / 10
</SELECT>

How do I use the $_POST thingy to get the selected value from "movierating" in a post php script, i.e a second document not the form document. Hope that makes sense.

something like $rating = $_POST ???????

You use the name you have given it in the select element.

$_POST['movierating'];

Also, if it is being instered into a database ensure it is converted to an integer first.
