Thanks again. I have finally tracked down the root cause to my original
problem. I was using the select HTML construct a little too glibly. I was
using it in the form:
<?php
$name .= "Space 9";
echo "<form action='submit.php' enctype='text/plain'>\n";
echo "<select name='stationName' >\n";
echo "<option>\n";
echo "$name\n";
echo "</select>\n";
echo "<p><input type='submit' name='submit'
value='Submit'>\n";
echo "<input type='reset' name='reset'
value='Reset'>\n";
echo "</form>";
?>
i.e not providing a value attribute on the option construct to be passed to
the submitted form, and so the stationName contained the *rendered* string,
not the string that was input.
Thanks again to all who sent suggestions. I guess one still has things to
learn after 10+ years using HTML.
Regards,
GEQ
