Having a problem get the selected item from a drop down menu

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I have been looking at this for days now.

I have a drop down menu that get it's values from an sql database That works but now I want to get the item and pass it to another query that's where I get lost or I may have been lost from the start and got lucky.

Here is the code I have
Code: [Select] <form action="" method="post" name="test"></form>

<select name="flt_game" id="flt_game" onChange="document.test.submit();">

<?php

$sql2 = "SELECT Pilot_Number, Pilot_Name FROM Logger_pilots ORDER BY Pilot_Number";
$result2 = $db->
sql_query($sql2);
while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result2)) {
$pilotid = $row[Pilot_Number];
$pilot1 = $row[Pilot_Name];
if ($pilotid == $pilot1) {
$sel = "selected ";

}
echo "<option $sel value="$pilot1">$pilot1</option>






n";
$sel = "";


}




?>
</select>
</form>
<?php
echo "You selected $sel ";
echo "

";
echo "<b>A/A Kill Average By Aircraft `flt_game`</b>

</center>";

$a = 1;


$sql5 = "SELECT Pilot_Name AS pilot , Aircraft AS aircraft1 , round((SUM(Kills) / SUM(Killed))*1,2) AS hrs FROM logger_stats WHERE Pilot_Name = '$pilot1' GROUP BY Pilot_Name, Aircraft ORDER BY hrs DESC LIMIT 0,100";

$result5=sql_query($sql5, $db);
while(list($pilot, $aircraft1, $hrs) = sql_fetch_row($result5, $db)) {

echo "<font color="#CC9900" >$a:&nbsp;&nbsp;$aircraft1&nbsp;&nbsp;</font><em>($hrs Kills)</em>
";
$a++;
}
