    HTML FORMS AND PHP

    I've been studying some tutorials but I can't seem to wrap my mind around
    this...

    When I implement a menu (in my case a drop down menu) how can I tell the
    Action to do one thing if one menu item is chosen and another if another
    item is chosen?

    If I can't do it from the menu itself how do I process it in the page I
    call?

    I'm trying to writhe an "if" statment like this:

    If ($TChoice = "Dothisselectio n")
    How do I call a diffrent page?;
    I've read through a few tutorials and I can't seem to figure out how to call
    a diffrent page! I'm new to HTML and PHP so I'm sure it's painfully obvious.
    Thanks for the help.

    Rob

      I noticed that Message-ID: <RfOdnbly3KgN9F 2iRVn-uA@comcast.com> from Rob

      Check out include()

          Regarding this well-known quote, often attributed to Rob's famous "Sun, 23

          Instead of using an include(), I'd recommend using:

          header("Locatio n: $pagetogoto");

          in the script that gets called. You can't do this from the page with the
          menu, unless you use JavaScript fancies.
