    I've pretty basic html knowledge as is pretty obvious from my site so please forgive the murdering of html below ..

    I'm trying to make a drop down menu to choose monthly weather stats for a given year for my weather station , ie choose year then choose month.

    I found an example on a website but clearly its not working.
    <html>
<head>
  <title> Annamoe Monthly Data </title>
  
  
</head>

<body>
>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['post'])) {
if (($_POST['Year'] == '2007') AND ($_POST['Month'] == 'January')) {
header("Location: jan07.html"); }
elseif (($_POST['Year'] == '2007') AND ($_POST['Month'] == 'Febuary')) {
header("Location: feb07.html"); }
elseif (($_POST['Year'] == '2007') AND ($_POST['Month'] == 'March')) {
header("Location: mar07.html"); }
elseif (($_POST['Year'] == '2007') AND ($_POST['Month'] == 'April')) {
header("Location: apr07.html"); }
if (($_POST['Year'] == '2007') AND ($_POST['Month'] == 'May')) {
header("Location: may07.html"); }
elseif (($_POST['Year'] == '2007') AND ($_POST['Month'] == 'June')) {
header("Location: jun07.html"); }
elseif (($_POST['Year'] == '2007') AND ($_POST['Month'] == 'July')) {
header("Location: jul07.html"); }
elseif (($_POST['Year'] == '2007') AND ($_POST['Month'] == 'August')) {
header("Location: aug07.html"); }
if (($_POST['Year'] == '2007') AND ($_POST['Month'] == 'September')) {
header("Location: sep07.html"); }
elseif (($_POST['Year'] == '2007') AND ($_POST['Month'] == 'October')) {
header("Location: oct07.html"); }
elseif (($_POST['Year'] == '2007') AND ($_POST['Month'] == 'November')) {
header("Location: nov07.html"); }
elseif (($_POST['Year'] == '2007') AND ($_POST['Month'] == 'December')) {
header("Location: dec07.html"); }
else { die("Error"); }
exit;
}
?>
<form method='post' action='yourfile.php'>
<select name="Year" Month="1"><option>2007</option></select>
<br>
<select name="Month" Month="1"><option>January</option><option>Febuary</option><option>March</option><option>April</option><option>May</option><option>June</option><option>July</option><option>August</option><option>September</option><option>October</option><option>November</option><option>December</option></select>
<br>
<input type='submit' name='post' value='Press here to view the relevant page'>
</form>
</body>

</html>

    This obviously only opens "yourfile.php" rather than the one I want it too, does anyone know what I need to do please?

    Thanks.

    Whats the name of this file ? ... index.php ? ... if so .. replace yourfile with index

    Next ... header function calls need to come before any part of the page is sent ... having <html> before your header("location...") stuff will break this ...

    Also your server will have to be able to handle php files ? .. (yes stating the obvious ... but I'm assuming it can here) ? 
    <?php
if(isset($_POST['post'])) {
if (($_POST['Year'] == '2007') AND ($_POST['Month'] == 'January')) {
header("Location: jan07.html"); }

header("Location: feb07.html"); }
elseif (($_POST['Year'] == '2007') AND ($_POST['Month'] == 'March')) {
header("Location: mar07.html"); }
elseif (($_POST['Year'] == '2007') AND ($_POST['Month'] == 'April')) {
header("Location: apr07.html"); }
if (($_POST['Year'] == '2007') AND ($_POST['Month'] == 'May')) {
header("Location: may07.html"); }

    Forbairt you're a genius!!, that works great (smacking my head about the filename ...doh!).

    Wasnt aware of the placement within the file needing to come before the html tags either, thanks for pointing that out.

    Thanks very much :)

    I see that you have graphical charts on the front page.
    I use PHP/SWF floating column charts on my M50 Weather page (just some fun grabbing data from nra.ie).
