I am relatively new to PHP and just have a question regarding $_POST to
get a value passed via a form to be included of the parameter of an
array I am using:

eg.

<?

$a array = ("1", "2", "3");

echo "<form method=POST>

<select name=b size=1>
<option value=1>number1</option>
<option value=2>number2</option>
<option value=0>number3</option>
</select>

<input type=submit name=Submit>


</form>";

echo "$a[$b]";


Since I have a global variables turned off, and would like to keep
learning with them off, I am stumped on to get that value passed


>From my understanding, I see that $_POST[b] would successfully retrive
the value of the $b variable. So i've tried many variants on the syntax
but no luck (e.g. "$a[$_POST[b]]) etc...

any help is much appreciated :) thanks!
