Dear All,

I used a dropdown list to select the Mathematical operator for my calculator.
When I click the submit button, the 1st option appear and not the one that I selected.
How can I make what the user selected to show on the dropdownlist?

Your help wiil be humbly appreciated.

On your form -

<select name="operator">
<option value="add">Add</option>
<option value="subtract">Subtract</option>
More options
</select>

PHP code -

if (isset($_POST[submit"])
{

$operator = $_POST['operator'];
}
