For a start you have a <form> that seems to start in the <head> and end outside the <body>. That's wrong.

And what is it supposed to do?

<form action="steam://connect/<?PHP $_GET['$id']; ?>" method="POST">

What is the "steam" protocol? What is the value of the PHP variable $id, and how is it supposed to be set?

I'm afraid this looks like confused jumble. Your link goes through some mysterious redirects, and I end up at the wikipedia entry for "HTTP". Hmm. Back to the drawing board... ?

Well it works fine you need steam tongue.gif everything else loads but when you hit connect it doesnt work,

What I want is it to be like,

<FORM ACTION="Steam://connect/<?PHP $_GET[' And I want it to get the id of the drop down option value. but it wont get it']; ?>">

And the select option looks like

<SELECT NAME="server_select">
<OPTION id="?id=chicago01">Stealth Image - Chicago 24/7 Surf Server</OPTION>
<OPTION id=?id=dcalifornia01">Stealth Image - California 24/7 De_Dust Server</OPTION>
</SELECT>

But it wont work please help...

In the code sample it seems you're trying to use the selected OPTION value in the same page's form ACTION, which doesn't work. Instead you might use something like

CODE
<form action="Steam://connect/">
<select name="id">
<option value="chicago01">Stealth Image - Chicago 24/7 Surf Server</option>
</select>

which I think should resolve to Steam://connect/?id=chicago01 --not sure since I don't know what the steam protocol is.

Steam is Valve's content delivery system - a much-maligned content delivery system at that, mind you.

http://support.steampowered.com/cgi-bin/st...nduser/home.php

To the OP: you may get better support from the horse's mouth.
