Alex,
Here is what I'd recommend. It will allow you to get the information that
you are looking for and make it so that you can update your list of
providers with a simple insert or update statement in the future.
1. Create a table with the fields id, email and provider.
2. Populate the table with the necessary values, probably setting id to
auto_increment.
3. Have the script that generates the listbox <select> get it's values from
the database table. E.g. <option value="11">Some Carrier</option>
4. On submit of the form check the value against the id field and get the
required values for email and provider from the database table.
HTH,
Everett

I have a contact manager form for sending sms messages. A select list
shows the cell carriers, and the value of each option in that list is the
email address. For example:
<option value="@utext.com">Unicel</option
I want to put both the email address and the name of the provider into a
database. So there is no way to get the "Unicel" if that option were
selected, only @utext.com? That is a shame. Oh well, back to my old
friend JavaScript for a solution most likely involving a hidden field and
a php explode function.
Have a great day,
Alex

Alex,
Only if you were to put the text in the value attribute for the
option
element.

Is there a way to have php get the text of a select list option,
instead
of the value? Basically, the equivalent of the javascript:
var txt=form.select.options[form.select.selectedIndex].text;
I know php has the $_POST and $_GET arrays, but these get
selected
options' values. Thanks!
Have a great day,
Alex
