Question

I have the following PHP code:

echo "<form name='CLChange' method='post' action=''>";
echo "<td><select name='NewClearanceLevel'>\n";
for($i = 1; $i < $ClearanceLevel; $i++)
{
    echo "<option value='" . $i . "'>" . $i . "\n";
}
echo"<input type='submit' value='Change'></td></form>";

I want to be able to pass on an other value representing the current table row (This creates a table with which I should be able to make changes to an individual user). It has a row for every user. It looks roughly like this:

User          ID      Clearance Level    New Clearance Level

User 1        1       4                  (Drop down list and submit button)

User 2        2       3                  (Drop down list and submit button)

User 3        3       1                  (Drop down list and submit button)

Each drop down list and button is an individual form.

How can I do it so that I can pass an additional value as to know which user I am talking about? Or is there any other way to know which is the name of the form passed?

Try this:

echo "<form name='CLChange' method='post' action=''>";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='userId' value='" . $userId . "' />";
echo "<td><select name='NewClearanceLevel'>\n";
for($i = 1; $i < $ClearanceLevel; $i++)
{
    echo "<option value='" . $i . "'>" . $i . "\n";
}
echo"<input type='submit' value='Change'></td></form>";
