SOLVED !!! Advanced search form variable

I am trying to add some custom text to the advanced search form depending on country selection.

example, the user selects Spain, and when the search results come back and the page reloaded it will show text related to spain.

i.e. if($country == 169){ echo "Spain info";}

my question is what is the $country variable returned after the results, there must be one as after the page is re-loaded the country dropdown field is pre-populated with Spain

any help would be appreciated
thanks
Jim

Hi Jim,
The country variable of Advanced Search form is: country_id
Thanks

Hi Dam,

I have tried this but it doesn't return anything.

I have tried echo $row->country_name & echo $country_id

Can you help? I just want to return the country id in the results after the page loaded/reloaded

Thanks
JIm

Hi Jim,
You can try this
$country_id = JRequest::getInt('country_id');
if($country_id == XXX){
}

Good luck
Dam

Perfect Dam,
Many thanks
Jim
