Quick Syntax Question:

Hi all, I have a really quick syntax problem I can't seem to hammer out...

In my script, I am trying to set a variable based upon an entry from my SQL table. Here's two different lines of code I've tried, but neither of them seems to work:

This isn't working, but I don't get an error...

[PHP]var opt_a = <?php echo "$_POST[".$row_rs_detail['option_a']."]"; ?>;[/PHP]

This isn't working AND gives me an error.

I apologize in advance for being a javascript and php newbie... maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

re: Quick Syntax Question:

What do you mean by 'isn't working' and what is the error?
What values do the variables contain?

re: Quick Syntax Question:

This should fix your problem if $row_rs_detail is a resultset.
[PHP]var opt_a = <?php echo $row_rs_detail['option_a']; ?>;[/PHP]
Why you are using $_POST?
