drop down menu for addresses

[gazzzzzza]

I need to alter the way addresses are selected on the checkout shipping and checkout payment pages. I have had a go myself and have created a drop down menu above the button that says 'change address'.

 

The drop down menu I created has the field 'sendto' in it as i believe this is the variable that needs to be set (and is set when you use the normal selection method-i looked on checkout_shipping_address to see what variable it sends).

 

The form is set to submit to 'checkout_shipping.php' - the same page it is on. Therefore I figured that the page would grab the 'sendto' variable and use that to get the delivery address information. (the information that is sent in the sendto variable is equal to each address_book_id)

 

When i run my code I get the list of addresses which is correct but When I submit it, it runs straight through to checkout payment and the delivery address does not change. Do I have to grab the variable myself and set it = to the session variable?

 

I can grab it ($sendto = $_POST['sendto'];) but I'm not sure how to set it as the SESSION var 'sendto' which is what I think the page references...

 

Any help on this matter at all would be gratefully received.

 

My code is below:

 

----------START CODE

 

 

<!-- ADDED NEW FORM HERE -->

 

<br><br>

<form action="checkout_shipping.php" method="post" name="address">

<?

$query1 = "SELECT address_book_id, entry_street_address FROM address_book WHERE customers_id = '$customer_id' ORDER BY entry_street_address ASC";

$result1 = mysql_query($query1) or die ("Couldn't execute query.");

 

echo "<select name='sendto' class='select' value='null'>\n";

echo "<option value='' class='option' selected>Select a different delivery address....\n";

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result1)) {

 

$address_book_id = $row["address_book_id"];

$entry_street_address = $row["entry_street_address"];

 

echo "<option value='$address_book_id' class='option'>$entry_street_address\n"; }

echo "</select>\n"; ?>

 

<br><br>

<input type="submit" name="submitButtonName" value="Change Address" border="0" class="formfieldbutton">

 

<!-- END ADD NEW FORM -->
