Hi,
I tried it but i wasnt luck:
// Theme
echo '
<form name="theme" action="options.php" target=right class=menu>
<select name="theme">';
for($i=0;$i<sizeof($theme_name);$i++)
{
echo "<option value='".$i."'>".$theme_name[$i]."</option>\n";
}
echo '</select> <input type=submit name=get value=select
METHOD=POST>';
// or:
echo '</select> <input type=submit name=get value=select
METHOD="POST">';
$var_from_dropdown = $_POST['theme'];
exec("echo $var_from_dropdown > /tmp/varfromdropdown");
the exec line seems to works since it created the file. But it stays emty.
Cheers, Matio
