I am setting up a "links" page on our intranet site at work.

I'm setting it up to where links pertaining to the same subject are grouped in a form drop-down box, with a "GO" button next to the drop-down box.

The "go" button sends the url to a link.php3 and it redirects the user to the desired page.

I currently have only one drop-down box and here lies my question:

How can I determine in my php script what drop-down box they used?

I could go the easy/messy route and make a link1.php3, link2.php3, etc... for each drop-down box, but I don't want to do that...

Could I hide an input field and use javascript or something to put a number in it to tell my php3 script which drop-down box to get the url from?

Thanks for any assistance, just learning php3, as you can tell...

You could give each drop down a name <select name=drop1> etc .... errr or

name each submit button seperately ie <input type=submit name=dd1 value=go> and then test for if($dd1) as opposed to if($submit) -

not sure if I am thinking what you are thinking...

As the previous post said, give each selection box a name corresponding to what url you want to redirect them to. Then, when they hit submit, you can just determine what url they want, without messing with what box they chose. I think I'm thinking what you're think, and if I'm not/this isn't helpful then please explain yourself more...

Thanks, that works great...

I named each button go1, go2, etc...

in my link.php3, I have:

if ($go1)
{
header("Location: $link1)
}
else
{
if ($go2)
{
header("Location: $link2)
}
}

etc...


$go1 & $go2 are my two "go" submit buttons
$link1 & $link2 are my two drop-down boxes...


again, thanks guys...
