PHP help needed.

[Vagabond]

I have a section of code that seems to work untill I go to get the result but can't see what I am doing wrong.

function Edit_User(){
 
global $conn;
Connect_to_db();
 
$sql = "SELECT * FROM user";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or die(mysql_error());
 
?>
<form method="post" action="../news/news.php?page=Edit_Selected_User" name="EditUser">
<select name="selectuser">
<?php
 
while ($newArray = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
 
  $editname = $newArray['name'];
  printf ("<option value=\"$result\">$editname</option>");
}
?>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="edit" value="Edit">
</form>
<?php
 
mysql_close();
}

The above part seems to work however when I try to get the data returned from the $_POST it's always blank.

if ($_GET[page] == "Login"){
  Get_Login_Page();
}
else if($_GET[page] == "Edit_Selected_User"){
 $a = $_Post[selectuser];
 echo $a;                        //  This always returns nothing.
} 
else if($_GET[page] == "Edit_User"){
  Edit_User();
}
else if($_GET[page] == "Adduser"){
  Add_User_Menu();
}
else if($_GET[page] == "Save_New_User"){
  Save_New_User();
} else {
  echo "Nothing to do!";
}

I know I am just doing something stupid wrong but can't seem to find out what.

I found the error here

$a = $_Post[selectuser];

Should be:

$a = $_POST[selectuser];

It's still not quite working the way I wanted it to because it returns the resource ID instead of a user name but I will try to play with it more and see if I can figure that one out.

I also got the resource ID problem figured out. Guess I didn't need help afterall. Just needed a break from coding. lol

$a = $_POST[selectuser];

If selectuser is a string it is safer to write this as[php]$a = $_POST['selectuser'];[/php]NOTE the added quotes. This is because without the quotes the PHP engine first searchs to see if selectuser is a defined symbol.
