Does anyone have an idea how I can pull this off? I am trying to allow users to enter in a specific date and show only results for that date. Here is the code I tried for users to enter a date:

echo "<form action=\"index.php?t=dtrack&trackdate=$year-$month-$day\" method=\"post\">";

echo " <select name=day>     ";
echo " <option value=01>1     ";
echo " <option value=02>2     ";
echo " <option value=03>3     ";
echo " <option value=04>4     ";
echo " <option value=05>5     ";
echo " <option value=06>6     ";
echo " <option value=07>7     ";
echo " <option value=08>8     ";
echo " <option value=09>9     ";
echo " <option value=10>10    ";
echo " <option value=11>11    ";
echo " <option value=12>12    ";
echo " <option value=13>13    ";
echo " <option value=14>14    ";
echo " <option value=15>15    ";
echo " <option value=16>16    ";
echo " <option value=17>17    ";
echo " <option value=18>18    ";
echo " <option value=19>19    ";
echo " <option value=20>20    ";
echo " <option value=21>21    ";
echo " <option value=22>22    ";
echo " <option value=23>23    ";
echo " <option value=24>24    ";
echo " <option value=25>25    ";
echo " <option value=26>26    ";
echo " <option value=27>27    ";
echo " <option value=28>28    ";
echo " <option value=29>29    ";
echo " <option value=30>30    ";
echo " <option value=31>21    ";
echo " </select>     ";
echo " <select name=month>     ";
echo " <option value=01>January     ";
echo " <option value=02>February     ";
echo " <option value=03>March     ";
echo " <option value=04>April     ";
echo " <option value=05>May     ";
echo " <option value=06>June     ";
echo " <option value=07>July     ";
echo " <option value=08>August     ";
echo " <option value=09>September     ";
echo " <option value=10>October    ";
echo " <option value=11>November    ";
echo " <option value=12>December    ";
echo " </select>     ";
echo " <select name=year>     ";
echo " <option value=2003>2003     ";
echo " <option value=2004>2004     ";
echo " <option value=2005>2005     ";
echo " </select>     ";
echo " <input type=submit name=submit value=Enter Daily Tracker";
echo "</form>	";

But the variables won't fill into the URL when I submit.

Then I have a form that is updatable, but I can't seem to get this idea to work. Any ideas?

change the method to get and it should

you don't have to echo a big chunk of HTML like that, you can leave PHP, do the HTML and go back to PHP

<?php
// do some php stuff here, even an if($yes  == "yes"){
?>

HTML stuff here
and here
<?php
// back to PHP, end the if statement }

or if your page is set up to display certain bits after validation you can use EOF <<< (end of file) but which is really end of code section $value = EOF <<< .... EOF;
