SelectBox and PHP

[point]

Hy there...

I have the following:

<select name="options">
<option value="10">numb er10</options>
<option value="20">numb er20</options>
</select>

If I want to print the choice I would use $_POST{'options '} and the
$_POST{'options '} would have values of selected choice(10,20)

But how can I print the selected text,not value(number10, number20) or do I
have to use JS for that?

Thanx....

Yes, as only the option's value will be submitted...

But the script is not returning that text, only the values. However if you
code the options text in the switch statement ( or better yet assign the
text to separate variables and include those both in the switch statement
and the options box) then you can print the text depending on which value
is selected.

Hope that's clear.
