Hi,
you have to put this list in a form...
form name=select_name action=eval.php method=post
select
option
/select
/form
in eval.php you may write like:
$variable1=$_POST['select_name'];
//and variable1 is now the option_value selected
echo $variable1;
where option_value is the value written in the list...generated by php
if I have a list with 4 values like:
option value=onevalue number one-first/option
option value=twovalue number two -second/option
option value=threevalue number three -third/option
option value=fourvalue number four fourth/option
here the option_value is one or two or three or four
so variable1 is now passed from one page to another..
if you have any questions or you are of a different opinion write to me again
