How are you passing $catname onto the next page? I presume via the hidden input element? AFAICS from your code (and you can spot this straight away from the HTML source) you only have a hidden input element for the last value of $catname retrieved from the DB. Thus you need to move them inside the while-loop. However your hidden input elements are all named 'hidden' which isn't very helpful -- give them unique names. The real question is why /are/ you passing $catname to the next page? $catid is the unique identifier so why do you need $catname on the next page? You can always lookup $catname from the DB on the next page if you need it. If you don't want to look it up again then I suggest putting both $catid and $catname into the option value ... <option value='$catid|$catname'>$catname</option> ... then extract the two parts on the following page. Depending on what characters gets stored in $catname you may need to run it through htmlspecialchars(). -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* Q: How did you get into artificial intelligence?
