Here is the problem i am haveing on the frontend the HTML stuff maybe you have a idea of what the two problems are ?

have two problems my PHP inside the HTML does not seem to be grabing the right value from the optgroup because my echo is echo the actual text value and not what was selected so lets solve that first?

<select>
<optgroup label="Blue Lodges">
<option value="John T. Heard Lodge">John T. Heard Lodge</option>
<option value="The Tyrian-Acacia Lodge">The Tyrian-Acacia Lodge</option>
</optgroup>
</select>

<?php
$selected = value;
echo $selected;
?>


Now the other problem is the $selected need to be put in the actual text box in the form and it needs to be also the value selected in the optgroup so how do I stuff this in the text box ?


My form is the following :

<form action="lodgeselected.php" method="post">
<element attribute="nodeValue" />
<label for="elementID"></label>
<input id="elementID" />
<input type="hidden" name="Blue-lodge" value="<?php echo $selected ?>" />
<label for="textfield">Forum selected</label>
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
</form>

Other wise if these two things are soloved I should be ok THANK!
