Hi,

PHP is a server side web scripting language where you don't have direct access to client side web controls like text and combo boxes. What you should do is to put tags in a tag with destination to another (to the same is also possible, slightly more complicated) PHP page where contents of the selected combobox item will be returned to the new PHP page as $_POST["nameofpostvar"] variable when submitted. On server side scripting each action requires a round trip to the server.

In VB, the combobox's value can be retrieved several ways. x=combobox.selectedvalue will return a row like the error says. What intellisense doesn't tell you is that you can retrieve the information from this row using .Item(0) so x=combobox.selectedvalue.item(0) will give you the value including the type like integer, etc.
