how to get joomla select box value

Question

I need to add some small functionality to my admin side of joomla.

I want it so when the user selects a value from drop... selected values are then inserted into my database.

Here is the code:

$default = 2;
$months = array(1 => 'Jan', 2 => 'Feb', 3 => 'Mar', 4 => 'Apr');
$options = array();
foreach($months as $key=>$value) :
$options[] = JHTML::_('select.option', $key, $value);
endforeach;

$dropdown = JHTML::_('select.genericlist', $options, 'month', 'class="inputbox"' ,'value', 'text', $default);

echo $dropdown;

$object = new stdClass();
$object->virtuemart_product_id = $this.id;
$object->brightness = $key; 
try {
    $result = JFactory::getDbo()->updateObject('#__virtuemart_product_prices', $object, 'virtuemart_product_id');
    } catch (Exception $e) {
            // catch the error.
 }

Currently, when the user selects and saves, it always inserts 4 into db () . How can I insert the selected values?

Answer 1

在foreach循环结束后使用$ key，并且由于对php关联数组进行了排序，因此$ key等于循环结束前的最后一个值是4。这就是为什么要插入4的原因。
