How would I create a Dynamic PHP select list with three options, and make it so that the information displayed on the confirmation page corresponded with the option selected? This is for a class project, and I am having difficulty understanding how I would incorporate this into an existing form.
For example: I am adding a drop down menu to an existing PHP form. So far the form is just set up to display a confirmation that echos the information that the user entered. I need to add a drop down menu with three options to this form, and I have three different messages that I want displayed on the confirmation page depending on which option the user selects from the drop down menu.
The current form code is:
HTML:
<div id="form">
<form action="process.php" method=post class="formdata" onblur="MM_validateForm('first_name','','R','last_name','','R','password','','R');return document.MM_returnValue" >
<table width=450 border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=2 bgcolor="">
<tr valign=top>
<td colspan=3><div align=left onblur="MM_validateForm('first_name','','R','last_name','','R','password','','R');return document.MM_returnValue">
<table width=450 border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=2 bgcolor="">
<tr valign=top>
<td colspan=3><div align=left>
<p>Required fields are marked with an asterisk *<br />
<br />
</p>
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr valign=top>
<td align=right width=120 ><div align=left onblur="MM_validateForm('first_name','','R','last_name','','R','email','','RisEmail','password','','R');return document.MM_returnValue">*First Name:</div></td>
<td width=380><input name=first_name id=first_name type=text size=20 /></td>
</tr>
<tr valign=top>
<td ><div align=left>*Last Name: </div></td>
<td ><input name=last_name type=text id=last_name size=20 /></td>
</tr>
<tr valign=top>
<td ><div align=left>*Email Address: </div></td>
<td ><input name=email type=text id=email size=25 /></td>
</tr>
<tr valign=top>
<td ><div align=left>*Password:</div></td>
<td ><input name=password type=text id=password size=20 /></td>
</tr>
<tr valign=top>
<td colspan=2><center>
<input type=submit class=button name=Submit value=Submit />
</center></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>*</p>
</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</div>
PHP:
<?php print "<p> Congratulations $first_name! You may now start selling your photography.</p>
<p>Please make a note of your account details.</p>";
?>
<?php
echo $_POST['first_name']?>
<p><?php echo $_POST['last_name']?></p>
<p>
<?php echo $_POST['email']?></p>
<p>
<?php echo $_POST['password']?></p>
