Oh, sorry. I didn't read i guess. Thanks though.

no thanks, PHP is fine. it all works. (PHP is easier to understand for me...I'm trying to learn, so everything is in PHP when possible).

It's a form. I was using POST, and i did read on the php.net site that you can, http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.html.php#faq.html.select-multiple

I just can't get it working. Any help via THIS part would be great. (I apologize for leaving out that info).

Fyi
variable = documents.forms[0].elements['var[]'];' from the link provided is for use with Javascript. Only client-side technologies and plugin-dependent scripts can access the Document Object Model (DOM) in that way.

switch is shorthand, essentially -- it skips until it finds the right case, then does that, rather than stepping through each set of instructions until it gets the right one.

yea thats what i did, it gives the proper amount of kids fields...already thought of that one!

fantastico!

now just a php based question, a syntax thing...

why use 'switch()' and cases, instead of if, elseif statements? just wondering...thanks alot!

**note: it would be better to do a form that submits and gives the new form with the right amount of "kids" spaces than have five pages of options.

... is there a reason why you'd not use $_POST?

Your select form should be named "kidsnum" unless you enable multiple selections, and if you do that, I totally do not see how you'd do a mass redirect on that. You don't want to have people select more than one option, do you?

<?php
$number = $_POST['kidsnum'];

switch ($number) {
    case '1':
    header('Location: <a href="http://www.dscpool.com/signup1kid.html'" title="http://www.dscpool.com/signup1kid.html'">http://www.dscpool.com/signup1kid.html'</a>);
    break;

    case '2':
    header('Location: <a href="http://www.dscpool.com/signup2kid.html'" title="http://www.dscpool.com/signup2kid.html'">http://www.dscpool.com/signup2kid.html'</a>);
    break;

    case '3':
    header('Location: <a href="http://www.dscpool.com/signup3kid.html'" title="http://www.dscpool.com/signup3kid.html'">http://www.dscpool.com/signup3kid.html'</a>);
    break;

    case '4':
    header('Location: <a href="http://www.dscpool.com/signup4kid.html'" title="http://www.dscpool.com/signup4kid.html'">http://www.dscpool.com/signup4kid.html'</a>);
    break;

    case '5':
    header('Location: <a href="http://www.dscpool.com/signup5kid.html'" title="http://www.dscpool.com/signup5kid.html'">http://www.dscpool.com/signup5kid.html'</a>);
    break;

    default:
    header('Location: <a href="http://www.dscpool.com/nosignup.html'" title="http://www.dscpool.com/nosignup.html'">http://www.dscpool.com/nosignup.html'</a>);
    break;
}
?>

You're right, you don't have to have two files. I just find it easier to use two files.
