Finally, we need the form to submit a unique identifier for the order to the process.php file. We need to be able to access that value in an order_id element of the $_POST array, like this: $_POST["order_id"]. For this particular order, the order ID should be 7546. We don’t want this value displayed in the browser. What do we need to add to the form? (Hint: We need to add a new HTML element with three attributes.)
Bummer! The necessary HTML element has not been added inside the form element. Hint: even though it is hidden, it is still considered an input element.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Ye Olde Ice Cream Shoppe</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Your order has been created. What flavor of ice cream would you like to add to it?</p>
<?php
$flavor = $_POST["flavor"];
?>
<form action = "process.php" method="post">
<label for="flavor">Flavor</label>
<select id="flavor" name="flavor" >
<option value="Select"> Select </option>
<option value="Vanilla">Vanilla</option>
<option value="Chocolate">Chocolate</option>
<option value="Strawberry">Strawberry</option>
<option value="Cookie Dough">Cookie Dough</option>
</select>
<input type="submit">
<?php include('inc/process.php'); ?>
</form>
</body>
</html>
