Re: [PHP] Why does this happen?

[Jason k Larson]

Because all of your field names are overwriting each other until the last one wins.

name="date"

This needs to be different for each field so PHP can assign that name as the variable.

Hey all.

Got a problem with I'm sure a simple solution::

In this test form when I submit and insert into my db, only the last select
field get entered; i.e. in this case the day value of 25.

<form name="form1" method="post" action="">

Year
<select name="date" onSelect="return check_submit()">
    <option selected value=2002>2002</option>
</select>

Month
<select name="date">
    <option selected value=12>12</option>
</select>

Day
<select name="date">
    <option selected value=25>25</option>
</select>

<input type="submit" name="textfield">

</form>

Why does this happen?  In Cold Fusion I'm able to refer to the three selects
as #date# and it returns 20021225 as expected.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
