select option to variable

[playerx]

How can I set a variable to the selection that I give and then pass that variable to another page once the button is clicked from the form?

thanks in advance


<select name="priority" id="priority">
<option></option>
<option>Critical</option>
<option>Asap</option>
<option>This Day</option>
<option>This Week</option>
<option>This Month</option>
<option>Take Your Time</option>
</select>

You need to give your options values. The browser does everything else for you:

<option [!]value="1"[/!]>Critical</option>
<option [!]value="2"[/!]>Asap</option>

They don't necessarily have to be numerical values, either:

<option [!]value="cru"[/!]>Critical</option>
<option [!]value="asa"[/!]>Asap</option>

You just need to pick up on the form submission server-side (or client-side if you really must, but use the get method for this).

Hope this helps,
