Hi, this is my option value. June is my Default selected Value, but there is a small issue. When Users select any month like January-2010, when he/she click on submit button.
Page will show again June in Option. But I want which the user selects.

<td>
<label>Billing Month
<span class="small">Like September-2010</span>
</label></td>
<td>
<? $year = date("Y") ;

?>
<select name="b" class="billmonth"/ >
  <option value=<? echo "January-".$year; ?>><? echo "January-".$year; ?></option>
  <option value=<? echo "February-".$year; ?>><? echo "February-".$year; ?></option>
  <option value=<? echo "March-".$year; ?>><? echo "March-".$year; ?></option>
  <option value=<? echo "April-".$year; ?>><? echo "April-".$year; ?></option>
  <option value=<? echo "May-".$year; ?> ><? echo "May-".$year; ?></option>
  <option value=<? echo "June-".$year; ?> selected="selected"><? echo "June-".$year; ?></option>
  <option value=<? echo "July-".$year; ?>><? echo "July-".$year; ?></option>
  <option value=<? echo "August-".$year; ?>><? echo "August-".$year; ?></option>
  <option value=<? echo "September-".$year; ?>><? echo "September-".$year; ?></option>
  <option value=<? echo "October-".$year; ?>><? echo "October-".$year; ?></option>
  <option value=<? echo "Novemebr-".$year; ?>><? echo "Novemebr-".$year; ?></option>
  <option value=<? echo "December-".$year; ?>><? echo "December-".$year; ?></option>
</select>
 </td></tr>

What do you have as your form action?
if you call the same scrip the form rest it self.
The seleced value is in your $_POST
do

<?
var_dump($_POST);
?>

You should use AJAX to avoid refreshing methods or use PHP to executing itself as SELF to retrieve the selected value.

ayesha789 7 Posting Pro in Training · Answer 4 · 2010-06-16T17:47:17+00:00

my form name is months.
I am doing like this but its not working, its selecting February every time

<option value="January" selected=<? echo $std1; ?>>January</option>
  <option value="February" selected=<? echo $std2; ?>>February</option>

and calculating like this

<? 
if(isset($_REQUEST['btn']))// if submit btn is pressed
	{
		
	
$m = $_POST["months"]; 

	if($m == 'January')
		{ $std1='"selected"';}
		else
		{$std1='';}
	if($m == 'February')
		{ $std2='"selected"';}
		else
		{$std2='';}
	}
?>

I do not know about self , please check my code and guide me

ayesha789 7 Posting Pro in Training · Answer 6 · 2010-06-16T18:01:53+00:00

selected=<? echo $std1; ?>

is this right way to write it

ayesha789 7 Posting Pro in Training · Answer 7 · 2010-06-16T18:30:54+00:00

I solved it using this code

<option <? echo $std1; ?> value="January" >January</option>
  <option <? echo $std2; ?> value="February" >February</option>

and Std1 and std2 like this

if(isset($_REQUEST['btn']))// if submit btn is pressed
	{
		
	
$m = $_POST["months"]; 

	($m == 'January')? $std1='selected="selected"':$std1='';
	($m == 'February')? $std2='selected="selected"':$std2='';
	($m == 'March')? $std3='selected="selected"':$std3='';
	($m == 'April')? $std4='selected="selected"':$std4='';
	($m == 'May')? $std4='selected="selected"':$std5='';
	($m == 'June')? $std6='selected="selected"':$std6='';
	($m == 'July')? $std7='selected="selected"':$std7='';
	($m == 'August')? $std8='selected="selected"':$std8='';
	($m == 'September')? $std9='selected="selected"':$std9='';
	($m == 'October')? $std10='selected="selected"':$std10='';
	($m == 'November')? $std11='selected="selected"':$std11='';
	($m == 'December')? $std12='selected="selected"':$std12='';
}
