<select name="s_group">
    <option value=""><-- Please Select Item --></option>
    <?
    $strSQL = "SELECT * FROM room_group_options ORDER BY op_id";
    $objQuery = mysql_query($strSQL);
    while($objResult = mysql_fetch_array($objQuery))
    {
    ?>
    <option value="<?=$objResult["op_id"];?>"><?=$objResult["group"];?></option>
    <?
    }
    ?>
  </select>

  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>

 <p>Number of Choice :
 <select id="pagelist" name = "s_choice">
     <option value=""><-- Please Select Item --></option>
     <option value="twoChoices">2 Choices</option>
     <option value="threeChoices">3 Choices</option>
     <option value="fourChoices">4 Choices</option>
     <option value="fiveChoices">5 Choices</option>
 </select>

 <div id="twoChoices" style="display:none">

  Insert your choice<br>

  2:<input type="text" name="choice2" /><br /> 

 </div>

 <div id="threeChoices" style="display:none">

    Insert your choice<br>
    1:<input type="text" name="choice1" /><br />
    2:<input type="text" name="choice2" /><br /> 
    3:<input type="text" name="choice3" /><br /> 

 </div>


  <script language="javascript">
  $("#pagelist").change(function()
  {
    var viewID = $("#pagelist option:selected").val();
    $("#pagelist option").each(function()
    {
        var hideID = $(this).val();
        $("#"+hideID).hide();
    });
    $("#"+viewID).show();   
  });
</script>

<input type="submit" name "submit" value="Create">
</form>

I am a PHP newbie. After fill all blank, selected choice and hit submit button the value from s_group and s_choice are in $_POST but choice1 and choice2 aren’t come.

How can I get these value?

Answer 1

Rewrite the following code
Insert your choice

1:<input type="text" name="choice1" value = ""/><br />
2:<input type="text" name="choice2" value = ""/><br /> 

Insert your choice<br>
1:<input type="text" name="choice3" value = ""/><br />
2:<input type="text" name="choice4" value = ""/><br /> 
3:<input type="text" name="choice5" value = ""/><br /> 

And dont duplicate your names of choices. Make your javascript in such a way that it will show/hide choice3, choice4 and choice 5 button on pagelist change.
