do other variables you pass to the script get set?
if not, do you have register_globals (or whatever it is) turned on?
maybe use $_GET or $_POST instead?

Ok, but I have this as an example....

        <select name="abc" size="1">
                <option value="a" selected>A</option>
                <option value="b">B</option>
                <option value="c">C</option>
                <option value="d">D</option>
       </select>

Are you saying that abc should be $abc? I not clear.

I have for my sql as this...

db_name = "xxxinks";

$table_name = "ssslinks";

$connection = @mysql_connect("mybox.com","anyusers",!@#$%) or die ("Couldn't
connect");

$db = @mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection) or die ("Couldn't select
database.");

$sql = "INSERT INTO $table_name
  (abc, key_word, links, name)
   VALUES
  ('$abc', '$keywords', '$links', '$name')";

$result = @mysql_query($sql, $connection) or die("Couldn't execute query.");

but I get that it can't do the query. So I am think it not passing abc...

Chuck
