在select option标签中使用php echo设置值

Question

How do I get this to work?

<div class="form-group">
    <label for="data[day]">Day:</label>
    <?php $day_of_week = array('','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday','Sunday') ?>
    <select class="form-control">

        <?php foreach($day_of_week as $day):?>
        <option value="<?php echo $day; ?>"><?php echo $day; ?></option>
        <?php endforeach; ?>

    </select>
</div>

I wanted the user to select day of the week using the combobox and it should return the value of the option tag into database.I am wondering why this method does not return any value in database. Any correction would be appreciated. This div tag is in form tag where it will return the form to the database.

Your <select> tag doesn't have a name, so the value won't be submitted to the server. It also doesn't have an id, so the label won't be linked with it.

<select id="data[day]" name="day" class="form-control">

When the form is submitted, the value will be in $_POST['day'].
