Re: dropdown Newbie question

Hi Mario, you can set error_reporting to E_ALL to give you more hints to bugs and to produce clean code. You are having two problems. The first was related to your form and has been addressed by Yasin. The second is that you have autoglobals off. That means you have to use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. BTW: You could have found this error by reading about predefined variables, PHP_SELF in the manual. Timo Working: <?php echo ' <form name="test" action="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'" method="POST"><br> <select name="color" 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> '; if(isset($_POST['color'])) {echo $_POST['color'];} ?> </body> </html>
