Selected Option from a drop down list passed to controller with post - El Forum - 11-07-2012 [eluser]GabrieleMartino[/eluser] Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to pass data to a function in a controller that is not the id of the field but the selected item text. Thanks Selected Option from a drop down list passed to controller with post - El Forum - 11-07-2012 [eluser]boltsabre[/eluser] PHP will only pass the value of an input (mapped to the inputs name) via the $_POST variable. If you need the id, the class, the text of a select option, the value of an attribute (ie, width or height), etc, you'll need to pass it via AJAX.
