problem with module/block code

I need some help with developing a module/block combo. I dont know what I am doing, and I am a noob...that said here goes.

I have a block that I have made with the wysiwyg editor which contains this code.

Code:

<form onsubmit="this.submit.disabled=\'true\'" action="modules.php?name=My_Module" method="post">
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
<strong><b>Choose File</strong></b>
<select name="select">
<option value="http://localhost/raven/modules/My_Module/1.php">File 1</option>
<option value="http://localhost/raven/modules/My_Module/2.php">File 2</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>

I have a module dir called My_Module inside this folder I have 3 files
index.php (mostly blank)
1.php
2.php (both 1 & 2 are simple query database display scripts that work outside nuke)

the module is active in the admin panel, and it appears like when I click submit the module index.php is loading. not the files I am trying to call.

I have this code at the top of all files.

Code:

if (!defined('MODULE_FILE')) die('You can\'t access this file directly...');
require_once('mainfile.php');
require_once('../Connections/LWC.php');
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
get_lang($module_name);
$pagetitle = '- You Module Name'; // If you need this to be multi-lingual then you will have to use language defines
include_once 'header.php';
OpenTable();

thank you in advance for any help you can lend

I assume somewhere modules/My_Module/index.php takes whatever the $select variable from the import form and processes that?
I don't understand why you need the full path to it either...
ie

Code:

http://localhost/raven/modules/My_Module/1.php

You could just pass a value (1 or 2) and then index.php needs to include it

Code:

if ($select == 1) include('1.php');
...

Or a better way would just be to use the built-in file parameters of phpNuke

Code:

use

<select name="file">
<option value="1">File 1</option>

and then it should pass the file variable so that it opens correctly in the form
modules.php?name=My_Module&file=1
which opens 1.php

Actually no my index.php file is blank, I really dont think I need it? I just need to be able to load the files I want based on the choice in the box (a menu like).

using the select name = file instead of submit and changing the value to the file name without the .php extension, seems to be working thank you very much for your example, and your time.

Why duplicate what phpNuke does already Smile

Glad you got it working
