Adding a Select Element to the Form
Let's add a select element to the form.
Giving a choice to the user
Consider we want to give the user the option to select which picture to show.
We should start with downloading another picture from the internet and saving it to the public/.
For this exercise, a picture of an apple on a stack of books is chosen.
It is saved to public/apple.jpg.
Let’s give the user a choice by adding a select element to the form:
// ...<div><label for="picture">Select a picture:</label><select name="picture" id="picture"><option value="cat.jpg">Cat</option><option value="apple.jpg">Apple</option></select></div>// ...
We are going to use the script to display pictures of apples in addition to kittens.
So, we should rename the file to something more generic.
Let’s change it to pictures.php (don’t forget to update /random.php, too because it still refers to /kittens.php).
In the browser, go to http://APPLINK/pictures.php and verify that the new form element shows up.
You don’t have to open any URL as we have already set things up for you. ...
