Firstly, let me say that I've been searching the Internet, rewriting scripts and I still can't seem to find a solution to my problem or even one that could possibly help. I've even searched this site for similar questions and the focus seems to be on actually displaying the database values but what I want is to access those values. Or rather let me put it like this, I have a drop down that is generated through php and it contains data retrieved from mysql... all that works fine no errors.
My current problem is that when a user select an option from my dropdown, I want to use that value to do more operations based on the user's selection. Please help, I've been at it for a week with no avail. Thanks in advance. If you need samples of my code please tell me.
