RE: [PHP] Form Posting % characters

Hi there, You might just set the option values to be like: <OPTION VALUE="$row[ServerID]|$row[ServerName]">$row[ServerName] and then do a: list($id, $name) = explode("\|", $server_id); when the form is submitted to the PHP script. (you may not need to escape the | in the explode. I forget.) -Joe > -----Original Message----- > From: Montz, James C.
