Notice: Undefined offset: 1

Hi,

I am collecting data within a form. The select option is generated by a php/mysql loop:
("<option>" . $row['provId'] .":".$row['provname'] ."</option>" )

I am trying to split this data with my php process file:

list($provId,$provname) = explode(':',$_POST['provider']);

This won't work in IE and returns a $provId value of '0' every time along with the notice:
"Undefined offset: 1"


Thanks,

Andy

You need a value="..." parameter, otherwise nothing is sent to the server - http://w3schools.com/tags/tag_option.asp
