RE: [PHP] Multiple values in a form option field

Hello, See Below. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff McKeon [mailto:jmckeon@telaurus.com] Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 2:05 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Multiple values in a form option field I have a php page that has a web form on it. I do a query to populate the options in a drop down box in the form. [code] <select size="1" name="customer"> <?PHP while($query_data1=mysql_fetch_row($result1)){ echo"<option value='$query_data1[0]'>$query_data1[1]</option>"; } ?> [code] $query_data1[0] is a userID number $query_data1[1] is the user's Email address So when the user selects an email addres from the drop down box, the userID is stored and later writen to a database. What I now need to do is store not only the userID but the email address as well. Is there a way using a form to store 2 values using one drop down box? So basically I want to store the userID and the Email address to a variable in the form so that both may be written to different fields in the database later. Jeff -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php I sometimes build the value of the list option like this: <option value="UserID~!~emailaddress">Email Address</option> Then use the split function (split("~!~", $var)) to get the two (or more) values without reliance on javascript.
