ok I have a simple drop down menu question.

Iknow I make a menu with

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 [/code]

but when I place it within php tags I get this error

```auto
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/planetzi/public_html/leveling/order.php on line 95
```

and I need it to be in php tag or I wont be able to use the value in the mail I get when people choose an option from the menu and klick send

I use this php code to add the info to the mail  
[php]$message = “MSN: {$\_POST[‘msn’]}nnMessage:n{$\_POST[‘message’]}nnLeveler:n{$\_POST[‘leveler’]}n{$\_POST[‘select’]}”;[/php]

all works except for drop down menu :S

if you know anything about this I’d love if you would share your knowlege.

you don’t need to put it inside php-tags. thats not the problem.

make sure the select is inside the -tag.
