<form method="POST" action="">

          <label for="word">Choose:</label><?php

          echo "<select>";

          foreach($WC->wordArray as $word)         

                echo "<option>".$word->get_word()."</option>";

          echo "</select>";?>

          <input type="submit" value="Send" name="Send" />

          </form>

My current code look like this... (to create my drop down box) but how could I check what one is selected? (I want to preform an action on the selected object) I get that I may only get the index, but thats fine, could work with that.

If you set a value in the '<option>' tag, you can reference that.

Like:

echo "<option value="yourvalhere">".$word->get_word()."</option>";

Then it will post that value. If you want to make it index like, you can set the values to 1, 2, 3 etc. :)

But then can I make like a dynamic isset() or something? becouse I dont know how many items will be in the drop down box...

you can have your word as value as well...

echo "<option value=\"".$word->get_word()."\">".$word->get_word()."</option>";

yeah ok, but I guess I need to do something like...

foreach(word$ as $w){
       if(isset($_POST[$w->get_word]))
               $w->do_something();
}

But I wont get that to work... maybe you cant do that? what could you do instead in that case?

You never named your select element. Name it, then you can reference it.
