title: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'post'
body: <p>I have a form which consists of a dropdown and when the user submits the Information, it gets submitted to a PHP Page. Now based on the Response the user has selected on the dropdown, I created another form and I am trying to submit the Information. My Question is, Is it possible to have a post method within a php file?</p>
  
  <p>HTML</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form method="post" name="project_form" action="php/harvest_clientproject.php"&gt;
  Client Name:
                          &lt;select id="clt" name="client_name"&gt;
  &lt;option value="A"&gt;Client A&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;option value="B"&gt;Client B&lt;/option&gt;
  
  &lt;input  type="submit" value="Submit"&gt;
  
                          &lt;/form&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>PHP File 1-Clientproject.php</p>
  
  <pre><code>    $client_id_dropdown=$_POST['client_name'];
      echo $client_id_dropdown;
  
      /*Convert String to Integer */
  
      $client_id_dropdown_int=(int) $client_id_dropdown;
  
  
         /*Populating a dropdown with the list of projects from an array $data*/ 
  
        echo " &lt;form method= "post" name="project_form_2" action="harvest_clientproject2.php"&gt;

             // Iterating through the product array
              foreach($data as $ $key=&gt;$fruit){
  
            echo "&lt;option value= "; echo  $fruit-&gt;{'id'}; echo "&gt;" ;echo $fruit-&gt;{'name'};echo"&lt;/option&gt;";
  
              }
              ?&gt; echo "
