Trying to use two drop downs on one page

**Schmit43** · 03-06-2012 11:54 AM

I am trying to create a page that has more than one drop down. I am having trouble with the syntax. I am also having trouble trying to separate the two Buttons that both submit form data. There are two pages here. One PHP page and one HTML page

Here is the HTML page:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
<meta content="en-us" http-equiv="Content-Language" />
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
<title>Portland Climate Data</title>
<style type="text/css">
.banner {
	background-color: #000000;
	color: #FFFFFF;
	text-align: center;
	font-size: x-large;
}
.button {
	background-color: #00FFFF;
	position: relative;
	width: 100%;
	text-align: center;
}
.content {
	background-color: #000080;
	color: #FFFFFF;
}
</style>
</head>


<div class="auto-style1">

<div id="banner" class="banner">
	PORTLAND CLIMATE DATA</div>

<div id="button" class="button">
	<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%">
		<tr>
			<td style="width: 268px" class="auto-style1">
			<form  action="process4.php" method="post">
            <select name="item" style="width: 72px; height: 27px;">
                <?php for($i=2010; $i>=1949; $i--){?>
                  <option value="<?php echo $i?>" <?php if($i==$_POST['item']) echo 'selected="selected"'?>><?php echo $i?></option>
                <?php }?>
            </select>   &nbsp
			
            <input name="Submit1" type="submit" value="submit" style="height: 27px" /></div>
         <br />
		 <td style="width: 258px; text-align: center;">
			<form action="process4.php" method="post">
			<select name="item2" style="width: 109px">
		<?php $M1= 'Jan-2012'?>;

			<option value = "<?php echo $M1?>" <?php echo 'selected="selected"'?><?php echo $M1?></option>
			<option value = "Feb-2012">Feb-2012</option>
			</select>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
			<input name="submit2" type="submit" value="submit" /></td>
			<td>&nbsp;</td>
			<td>&nbsp;</td>
			<td>&nbsp;</td>
			</tr>
            <div id="content" align="center" class="content"><?php echo $url ?></div>
			</td>
			
			
			</form> 
	</table>


</div>

<div id="content" class="content"<?php echo $url ?>

</div>

</body>

</html>

Lines 50-52 are giving me problems. I am trying to get dropdown/button #2 to react like button #1 is. Here is the line 50-52 code

Code:

	<?php $M1= 'Jan-2012'?>;
			<option value = "<?php echo $M1?>" <?php echo 'selected="selected"'?><?php echo $M1?></option>
			<option value = "Feb-2012">Feb-2012</option>

Here is the PHP PAGE:

Code:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
if($_POST['item']) 
  $item = $_POST['item']; 
else 
  $item = 2010; 
$url = "<img src='/FORMPROCESSING/ClimateImages/{$item}.png' />"; 

if($_POST['item2']) 
  $item2 = $_POST['item2']; 
else 
  $item2 = Jan-2012; 
$url2 = "<img src='/FORMPROCESSING/ClimateImages/{$item2}.png' />"; 

//include_once('portland.html');
include_once('2button.html');
?>

Seems like you forgot to end the <option> tag

change:
<option value = "<?php echo $M1?>" <?php echo 'selected="selected"'?><?php echo $M1?></option>

to:
<option value = "<?php echo $M1?>" <?php echo 'selected="selected"'?>><?php echo $M1?></option>
