getting a drop down list value with php?

[cherryst152]

I am trying to grab the values of a couple drop down lists. Now i know what i have isn't right, but i feel close.

<select name="os1">
<option value="1">1
<option value="2">2
<option value="3">3
</select>

<select name="os2">
<option value="a">a
<option value="b">b
<option value="c">c
</select>

<?php
$min=300;

if(os1.value == 1 && os2.value == b){
echo "$min";
}
?>

Looks like you're confused..

Are you wanting to use javascript or php? One or the other..

php if possible, thanks

Well then you'd have to send the option stuff through a form.

<form action="" method="post">
/*
  Stuff for options
  Goes here
*/
<input type="submit">
</form>
 

Then, in the same page
[php]
$select = $_POST['select_name'];
if($select == "something"){
// code..
}
[/php]
