Hiya all, Every thread talk about pairs such as test.php?var1=bla I want to send the contents of a variable $project which is selected from a drop down box within the script. AS the option of the drop down box may change how can I do this: I am sort of trying to send test.php?var1=$project. Does anyone know how to do this? Here is the code for the project drop down box <select name="projname">
         <option value="Project_name">project</option>
         <?
$projquerystring = "SELECT projname from project"; $db_result = mysql_query($projquerystring); $db_fetch = mysql_fetch_assoc($db_result); $db_totalrows = mysql_num_rows($db_result); do { ?>
       	  <option value="<? echo $db_fetch['projname']?>"><? echo $db_fetch['projname']?></option>
         		<?
} while ($db_fetch = mysql_fetch_assoc($db_result)); $rows = mysql_num_rows($db_result); if($rows > 0) {
     		mysql_data_seek($db_result, 0);
$db_fetch = mysql_fetch_assoc($db_result); } mysql_free_result($db_result); ?> HERE IS WHAT I WANT TO SEND TO NEXT SCREEN <p><a href="new_bug_form.php?projname=$projname">add bug</a></p> Thanx Bob _________________________________________________________________ Stay in touch with absent friends - get MSN Messenger http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger
