    Can anyone offer some advice about how to convert the following receipt code by using a function called
    select_beverage($dinner)

    The entree chosen through the HTML form should be passed into the $dinner parameter, and the result should be returned to the program to be processed with the rest of the receipt. 


    <ol style="font-size:16px;">

<li><h3>This is your receipt</h3>

<?
$my_Steak = "Steak";
$my_Salmon = "Salmon";
$my_BarbecuePork = "BarbecuePork";
$my_Chicken = "Chicken";

echo "<BR>Our meal includes ".$my_Steak.", 
    ".$my_Salmon.", ".$my_BarbecuePork.", and ".$my_Chicken."!<br>";

?>

<?
$my_dinner = $_GET ["my_dinner"];


   if ($my_dinner == "Steak")
{
   echo "<i>Your chosen meal is steak.Your recommended drink is red wine</i>";

}
 else if 
    ($my_dinner == "Salmon")
{
       echo "<i>Your chosen meal is salmon. Your recommended drink is white wine</i>";
}

else if 
   ($my_dinner == "BarbecuePork")
{
   echo "<i>Your chosen meal is barbecuepork. Your recommended drink is coke</i>";


}


else

   
{
  echo "<i>Your chosen meal must be chicken.Your recommended drink is apple juice";

}
?>

<h3>Looking forward to your next visit :) </h3>



</ol>
    PHP:
    This is the HTML code:


    <body>
    <h3>Please choose a entre for your dinner </h3>

    <form method="GET" action="Lesson.php">
    Your dinner:

    <select name="my_dinner">
    <option value="">Please choose...
    <option value="Steak">Steak
    <option value="Salmon">Salmon
    <option value="BarbecuePork">BarbecuePork
    <option value="Chicken">Chicken
    </select>


    <input type=submit value="SUBMIT">

    </form>
    </body>

    But how to change the HTML? The value needs to be processed by the HTML form. use <select_name = "dinner">??

    Make the form method POST and instead of $_GET[''], use $_POST['mydinner'].
