Get the value of the changed select in table - php

Question

I need to get the values of the selected select
like the orderno of the changed row
The table looks like this
if I change order no 1002 into sold
$query = mysql_query("select * from orders");
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
{
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>'.$row['orderno'].'</td>';
echo '<td>'.$row['total'].'</td>';
echo '<td>';
if($row['status'] == "sold")
{
echo '<select name = "status[]">';
echo '<option value = "sold" selected>Sold</option>';
echo '<option value = "cancelled">Cancelled</option>';
echo '</select>';
}
else
{
echo '<select name = "status[]">';
echo '<option value = "sold">Sold</option>';
echo '<option value = "cancelled" selected>Cancelled</option>';
echo '</select>';
}
echo '</td>
echo </tr>';
}
if(isset($_POST['status']))
{
//sample only
echo "You change orderno ".$orderno_here." with the
total of ".$total_of_order." into ".$selected_status_of_orderno_here;
}
There are many records in the table and the selects are the same
how do I get the values of the selected select

Answer 1

Following your question, whatever i understood, according to that i am supposing you are getting data from form like tags in your page. If that is the case, you know that which value is changed to be reflected in db. So you can get that selected select from this.
you can check the change through this code:
if(isset($_POST['element'])){
//if this block executed, the <element> named element is changed
}
ignore this answer if this is not the case you are using in your code..
