Deleting a value selected from a combobox in php/mysql

Question

I'm trying to delete a certain selected value from my MYSQL database in php..

[delete.php]

<form name="delete" method="POST" action="d3l3t3d.php">
    <select name="eBox" id="nname" style="width: 290px; height:40px;">
    <?php
    mysql_connect("a","b","") or die("Wrong username or password");
    mysql_select_db("TABLE") or die( "Unable to select database");
    $query = "Select * From list";
    $result = mysql_query($query);
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) 
    { 
    $name = $row['name']; 
    echo "<option>" . $name . "</option>"; 
    } 
    echo "</select><br/><br/>"
    ?>

[d3l3t3d.php]

<?php
   $namez = $_POST['nname'];
   $name = mysql_real_escape_string($namez);
   mysql_connect("a","b",
   "") or die("Wrong username or password");
   mysql_select_db("TABLE") or die( "Unable to select database");
mysql_query("DELETE FROM list WHERE name='$name'");
?>

I get the following ERROR:

Notice: Undefined index: nname in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\folder\\d3l3t3d.php on line 2

Answer 1

$namez = $_POST['nname']; should be $namez = $_POST['ebox'];

You select elements via their name, not id.

Answer 2

$namez = $_POST['nname']; should be $namez = $_POST['eBox'];

The error: Undefined index: nname in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\folder\\d3l3t3d.php on line 2 , means its searching for a element with attribute name = "nname" , which of course, does not exist. you had name = "eBox" .

just a small typo :)
