Custom pull down lists

[hyperspeed9]

Hey everyone,

I'm at a loss with this one.

I've been searching through many many posts trying to find a simple solution to this...

I have a client who buys and sells gift cards and on a particular form I am trying to include a list of cards to select from. All I am looking to do is set up this simple list using this code:

zen_draw_pull_down_menu

I understand the concept of adding regular input boxes using this:

<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('phone', zen_output_string_protected($_phone), ' size="30" id="phone"') . '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_REQUIRED_SYMBOL . '</span>'; ?>

But I don't know enough to wrap my head around populating a list. I have a page made up with my form here: http://www.abcgiftcards.com/store/in...ge=become_dist

You will see that I currently have lists in there but this is using code such as this:

<select name="merchant_desired" id="merchant_desired" class="required">
<option value="select_one">Select One</option>
<option value="amazon">Amazon</option>
</select>

I need make the list using Zen Carts method so that I can pass whatever a custom selects to be included in the email that is sent upon submission.

Any help or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Actually, you don't.

All you need to do is check the value of the $_POST['merchant_desired'] variable, since that's what's set when someone chooses something from the SELECT ... OPTION .... OPTION ... OPTION ... /SELECT list you built in HTML.



The real "problem" you have on that page is that you're collecting Credit Card information on a non-SSL page ...
