Drop down menu in a PHP submit form

[Bandit]

Hi there,
I am looking for any help with a form I am trying to make, one of the
feilds I want it to be a drop down menu, so this part of the form has set
values and nothing else.

I have tried a few times too make this work, but I can never make it work, I
can`t even seem to find help ojnline for this issue.

If anyone here can geve me some code or point me in the way of a good
tutorial I would be thankful for the help

Bandit.

The Form

<form method="post" action="form.ph p">
<select name="selectite m">
<option value="option 1">Option 1</option>
<option value="option 2">Option 2</option>
<option value="option 3">Option 3</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="send">
</form>

The PHP
<?php
print $_POST['selectitem'];
?>

Give it a default option of your choice, such as

<option value="option 1" selected>Option 1</option>

I noticed that Message-ID: <ZP5Oc.39722$vO 1.196120@nnrp1. uunet.ca> from
Bandit contained the following:
[color=blue]
>Thanks - I have tried this and I get the return of field cannot be null...[/color]

The following works on my machine:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitl ed Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFF F" text="#000000">
<form method="post" action="">
<select name="selectite m">
<option value="option 1">Option 1</option>
<option value="option 2">Option 2</option>
<option value="option 3">Option 3</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="send">
</form>


<?php
if(isset($_POST['selectitem'])){
print $_POST['selectitem'];
}
?>
</body>
</html>
