i seem to be having trouble.. when the user clicks the purchase item button on my page below

http://quo-vadis.me....oduct.php?pid=1

i would like to be able to add a different quantity at the moment its set to 1, so when the user selects 3 it would add 3 to the cart the problem is how do i get the selected value to be stored in a variable

would it be something like

$val=quantity.selectedindex;

here is my code for the page

i have passed a number over easily by manually putting it in but when i try and put the select value it doesnt wanna know

<?php 

//using this variable to track down any possible problems
$problem=FALSE;

//validating that a product id has been passed to this page
if (isset($_GET['pid'])){
$pid=(int)$_GET['pid'];
require_once('../include/mysqlconnection.php');


//creating the query to retrive the information required
$query="select * from Product where product_id=" .$pid;
$result=mysql_query($query);
//the print id was typecast to int for security purposes

if (mysql_num_rows($result)==1){
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$page_title=$row['Product_name'];
$name=$row['Capacity'];
$price=$row['Price'];
$pic=$row['Picture'];
$ps=$row['Photo_Support'];
$vs=$row['Video_Support'];
$pm=$row['PowerM'];
$pv=$row['PowerV'];
$as=$row['AudioSupport'];
$ns=$row['NoOfSongs'];
$nv=$row['NoOfVideos'];
$cs=$row['Colour_Screen'];


}
include ('./include/header.html');


//start the html page

$test=$row['Product_name'];

//build the main content of the page

echo "<div id='main2'>";
echo "<fieldset id='fieldresult'>";


//Display a header
echo "<div id='ablue'>";
echo "<div id='buyboxDivId' class='buying'>

try putting your options in a form and get values from $_POST array on submit

[JosephGan]

It would not be good if the user select on the number and it get directly updated to the database.

U could have a submit button as what dontKnowJava has stated.
