Your mixing template code and php code.
Simply put, you can only use php code in *.php files, and only template code in *.tpl files.

Your code needs to be rewritten to template code as this looks to be inside a template.

It would be something like:

{def $post_search_text = ''}
{if ezhttp_hasvariable( 'Estado', 'post' )}
    {set $post_search_text = ezhttp( 'Estado', 'post' )}
{/if}
{if ezhttp_hasvariable( 'Cidade', 'post' )}
    {set $post_search_text = concat($post_search_text, ' ', ezhttp( 'Cidade', 'post' ))}
{/if}
<input type="hidden" name="SearchText" value="{$post_search_text}" />

Hi,

That looks good for me.

But if it does not works, your "form" could be the cause.

By default, I believe that the attribute "method" for "form" is "get". In your example, you do not mention it and use "post" in your code.

So try this :

<form action={"/content/search"|ezurl} method="post">
<select name="Estado">
<option>RJ</option>
<select name="Cidade">
<option>Niterói</option>
< /form>

Hope this will help you.

I think there are several mistakes done here.
1. post values won't be set before on the next page, so you'll need to click on the search button one more time if the code even works
2. POST and GET variables is not handled by the cache system in eZ Publish by default, only view parameters ( the ones you see in the url when you for instance paginate, like /Something/(offset)/20 )

So this should be handled by javascript (onclick) like this:

<form action={"/content/search"|ezurl}>
<select name="Estado" id="search-selection-estado">
<option selected="selected">RJ</option>
</select>

<select name="Cidade" id="search-selection-cidade">
<option selected="selected">Niterói</option>
</select>

<input type="hidden" name="SearchText" value="{$SearchText}" id="search-text" />

<input id="searchbutton" class="button" type="submit" value="{'Search'|i18n('design/ezwebin/pagelayout')}" alt="{'Search'|i18n('design/ezwebin/pagelayout')}" onclick="var est = document.getElementById('search-selection-estado'), cid = document.getElementById('search-selection-cidade'), searchTxt = document.getElementById('search-text');searchTxt.value = est.value + ' ' + cid.value;" />
</form>

Not tested, you might have to change 'onclick' to 'onkeydown' or something, don't remember the event order when it comes to onclick vs onsubmit right now.

André,

Back again,
The test was done only in Firefox and is working ok.

Now I tested in IE and the parameters are not been passing.
I also made a test including one text in the space inserted betwin the parameters, and only the text was passed.

Is there any special code for IE to be applyed in this case?

Regards

The code you provided demonstrated that javascrip is working.
By printing the variables I could verify that for IE all of then was empty.
I inserted "value=" for Select Estado and worked great for both browsers.

Do you know how to define value for an select auto filled like the "Cidade" bellow?

<form name="Options" action={"/content/search"|ezurl}>
<select name=" Estado" id="search-selection-estado" onChange="fillSelectFromArray(this.form.Cidade, ((this.selectedIndex == -1) ? null : cidade[this.selectedIndex-1]));">
<option selected="selected" value="">
<option selected="selected" value= RJ> RJ
</select>
<select name=" Cidade" id="search-selection-cidade">
<option selected="selected">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</option>
</select>
</form >

OBs. This is not the original code, but has also the same problem.

This automaticaly load Cidade(city) options for the selected Estado(State), based on the array and function bellow:

{literal}
<script language="JavaScript">
<!—Begin
cidade = new Array(
new Array(
new Array(""),
new Array("Niteroi"),
new Array("Rio de Janeiro"),
new Array("Marica")
)
);
function fillSelectFromArray(selectCtrl, itemArray, goodPrompt, badPrompt, defaultItem) {
var i, j;
var prompt;
// empty existing items
for (i = selectCtrl.options.length; i >= 0; i--) {
selectCtrl.options[i] = null; 
}
prompt = (itemArray != null) ? goodPrompt : badPrompt;
if (prompt == null) {
j = 0;
}
else {
selectCtrl.options[0] = new Option(prompt);
j = 1;
}
if (itemArray != null) {
// add new items
for (i = 0; i < itemArray.length; i++) {
selectCtrl.options[j] = new Option(itemArray[i][0]);
if (itemArray[i][1] != null) {
selectCtrl.options[j].value = itemArray[i][1]; 
}
j++;
}
// select first item (prompt) for sub list
selectCtrl.options[0].selected = true;
   }
}
//  End -->
</script>

The debug shows a problem with IE to take the input selected from search-selection-cidade using getElementById.

Still working ok for Firefox, but IE can take correcly search-selection-estado but not search-selection-cidade, which given result is always empty.

Do anybody knows how to fix this or another way to concatenate those results getting searchTxt to be submited to Solr backend?
