Well, this is my original Code:
------------------
// Theme
echo '
<form name="theme" action="options.php" target="right"
class="menu"
METHOD="POST">
<select name="theme">';
for($i=0;$i<sizeof($theme_name);$i++)
{
echo "<option
value='".$i."'>".$theme_name[$i]."</option>\n";
}
echo '</select> <input type=submit name=get value=select>';
$var_from_dropdown = $_POST['theme'];
exec("echo $var_from_dropdown > /tmp/varfromdropdown");
----------------
The file /tmp/varfromdropdown is still emty. (the dropdown field is NOT emty
by
the time i press the select button)
Any other ideas?
