Hello,
after a little break ( i really needed it ;P), i tried to get this thing
wotkig again.
I changed action to .$PHP_SELF. and i added the echo to test if it works:
echo $_POST['test'];
But still emtpy, what do i do wrong?
<?php
echo ' <form name="test" action="'.$PHP_SELF.'"
method="POST"><br>
<select id="colorPicker"
onChange="changeColor(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
<option>Background Color
<option value="0000FF">Blue
<option value="FF0000">Red
<option value="00FF00">Green
<option value="000000">Black
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Click To View Submission">
</form>
';
echo $_POST['test'];
?>
</body>
</html>
