PHP dropdown value need to save

I'm having trouble with the current PHP dropdown and I'm posting this to get some shine of light.

Here's the HTML dropdown code

<select name="campaign_id">
    <?php foreach ( $campaigns as $campaignID => $value) { ?>
    <option value="<?php echo $campaignID;?>"><?php echo $value->name;?></option>    
    <?php } ?>
</select>

This value will be fetch from the GetResponseAPI.

$campaigns = empty value.
$campaignID= list of campaign ID but not in string
$value->name = I'm getting the campaign name [I need the string value of the campaign]

I also save the dropdown value to initialize with the following:

$drop = $_POST['campaign_id'];

Now $drop only carry the campaign token ID for example 9h6R but when I echo $value->name , i get the campaign name such as "Carrols_Campaign".

Is it possible for me to save the campaign name from the dropdown list when the user made his choice.

Is there any other method where I can save the campaign name which occurs in the array?? Thanks in advance

Solution

  • I use the API function from get response 

    $result =  $api->getCampaigns('EQUALS',$drop);

    where the dropdown value looks something like this:

    <option value="<?php echo $value->name;?>"><?php echo $value->name;?></option>

    because when I use the option value for $value->name; and then i echo again the same value to know the name of value. So i saved the value and use it @ $results.
