How to get <select>
value from another php file. Example :
index.php
$text = $_POST['text']
<select id="text">
<option> text 1</option>
<option> text 2</option>
<option> text 3</option>
</select>
data.php
$sql= "SELECT column FROM table where $text='text 1'"
as you can read above, how to get value from $text
in index.php
and use it in data.php
I think you only forgot to add value for options itself
<form method="post" action="data.php">
<select name="text" id="text">
<option value="text 1"> text 1</option>
<option value="text 1"> text 2</option>
<option value="text 1"> text 3</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit the form"/>
</form>
then add $_GET
on your data.php
$text = $_GET['text']
$sql= "SELECT column FROM table where $text='ABCDE'"
hi you can passe this value with post method in index.php
<form action="url_to_data.php" method="post">
<select name="text">
<option> text 1</option>
<option> text 2</option>
<option> text 3</option>
</select>
<button>submit<button>
</form>
in data.php
<?php
$text = $_POST['text'];
echo $text;
?>
