I have a dropdown like this. What I want, I want to get selected value and text in button submit using PHP. I mean if it's selected 1st one. I want to get both 1 and Cat
Please help. thank you.
you can make it using js file and ajax call. while validating data using js file we can read the text of selected dropdown
$("#dropdownid").val(); for value
$("#dropdownid").text(); for selected value
catch these into two variables and take it as inputs to ajax call for a php file
$.ajax
({
url:"callingphpfile.php",//url of fetching php
method:"POST", //type
data:"val1="+value+"&val2="+selectedtext,
success:function(data) //return the data
{
}
and in php you can get it as
if (isset($_POST["val1"])) {
$val1= $_POST["val1"] ;
}
if (isset($_POST["val2"])) {
$selectedtext= $_POST["val1"];
}
