Hi,

I have some trouble creating a searchpage using values from a list/menu as input variables to the result page.

An example, if I want to search my mysql db for entries added for selected year, I have created a list/menu and added values 2006 2007. But the step from there to open the result page with all records from selected years I dont manage.

If I create a menu using values directly from the database I'm successfull.
like this:
<?php do { ?>
<tr>
<td><a href="stop/stopViewSearch.php?id_node=<?php echo $row_rsNode['node']; ?>"><?php echo $row_rsNode['node']; ?></a></td>
</tr>
<?php } while ($row_rsNode = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsNode)); ?>


But how could I select a static value in list/menu and pass that as input to the result page?


Regards

the static way I have is:

<form id="year" name="year" method="get" action="stop/ stopViewSearchYear.php">
<select name="year" size="2" multiple="multiple" id="year">
<option value="2006">2006</option>
<option value="2007">2007</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

But that gives me this link stop/%20stopViewSearchYear.php?year=2006&Submit=Submit
which is too many variables .. should be stopViewSearchYear.php?year=2006

What have I done wrong?

obs .. there was a _space_ in the beginning of the stopViewSearchYear.php file name. Removed it an now the link works, but

I still get &Submit=Submit, Is there a way to fix this?

stopViewSearchYear.php?year=2006&Submit=Submit
