Question

I have the following piece of code which resembles a form with a drop-down list. The selected item from the list should be sent to process.php page which will do some work.

<form name="form" method="GET" action="process.php">
  <div id="extra-components">
    <select name="boolean">
      <option value="and" selected="yes">AND</option>
      <option value="or">OR</option>
      <option value="not">NOT</option>
    </select>
  </div>
</form>

My question is: in the process.php file how do I obtain the selected value from the form? via the $_GET method?
Thanks in advance

Depending on your HTML code you can access boolean value by $_GET['boolean']. $_GET['boolean'] will contain one of <option>‘s value element until user will change it in his URL.
