Assignment 1 - Question 4 Clarity (functions)

Hi

Just to confirm -
Question requires 1 drop down menu where the user accepts 5 arguments
or 5 drop downs where users select 1 argument each.

Thanks

Afternoon Mac,

The way I executed the function was that I used 5 drop-down menus for each argument.
"Create a function of your choice. The function must accept 5 arguments. Create a form that accepts 5 arguments, each via a drop-down menu, and echo the results back to the user."

Can you please confirm if it is just 1 drop-down menu like you replied where it is a multiple selection that selects 5 options simultaneously, or 5 drop-down menus where each drop-down menu selects 1 option and then passes it to the function? Does it matter how we do it?

Kind Regards,

yes sorry...
if we are discussing the same questions (function.php) then
that is not how the question reads

The function must accept 5 arguments
so

Language: PHP
function myfunction($arg1,$arg2,$arg3,$arg4,$arg5){ .......some code }


but
Create a form that accepts 5 arguments, each via a drop-down menu.
says to me you need 1 drop down for each argument so at least 5....
they will have multiple options per dropdown (obviously)
but need 5

I read the original question too fast - each drop down will have various options else there is no use in having a drop-down. 5 arguments is sent to the function.

I also created 5 drop downs and once all 5 are selected they will echo a results in a from of a sentence to the user
