pulling value from drop down list boxes

[kpdvx]

I have a dynamically created drop down list box, it has a bunch of numbers as values.

while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result))
{

echo &quot;<option value=\&quot;future_id\&quot;>&quot;;
echo $row->issue_id;
echo &quot;</option>&quot;;

}

i want to be able to pull the selected value from it. like say, echo $future_id, and if the user had selected '21', then $future_id == 21. Any ideas?

If you have register_globals turned on, it will be the name of the <SELECT> tag which has the value.

Otherwise, depending on whether the form is &quot;method=GET&quot; or &quot;method=POST&quot; the value will be in $_GET['<name of SELECT>'] or $_POST['<name of SELECT>'], respectively. ______________________________________________________________________
