Post form, trim value from combo-CodePudding

I have a problem. I want to create a form, and i want to post selected value, but i also want to add extra info to each combobox option which i dont want to send.

combobox

I have that options in combo. And i want to send only value before BuildDate. I can trim that value after send - using $rev = $_GET['version']); $temp = explode(" ", $rev); $rev = $temp[0]; but i would like to not see this in url

If you put the ID as the value attribute in each option, that value only will be submitted to the the server, instead of the visible text.

E.g.

<select name="yourdropdown">
  <option value="A">A - 100</option>
  <option value="B">B - 200</option>
</select>

In that example, if the first option is selected then only A is submitted to the server, because that's the value of the option.

Also, if you don't want form data to be visible in the URL, you can submit the data via POST (rather than the default GET) - that way the data is transmitted in the body of the request instead.
