PHP - Get Data From Database In A Dropdown Menu
Hi, I'm trying to get data from one field in a table (database). But I get undesirable result: Here is my code ->
<?php $result2 = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT theme FROM mytable ") or die(mysql_error()); while($row2 = mysql_fetch_array( $result2 )) { ?> <form method="post" action='<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>'> <select name='themes'"> <?php $arr= array($row2['theme']); foreach($row2 as $value) { echo "<option value='$value'><b>". $value."</b> </option><br> "; } } ?> The attached image file show the result that I don't wont. (It's not a dropdown). Is there anyone who may help me, I spent a lot of time to find out but I can't. Thanks a lot for your help Similar TutorialsHi, I have a MySQL database called "2011_database" that has a table called "2011_list." In that table I have fields, amongst others, called "name" and "district." I need to find way to get the data from the table and put them into a drop down list on other PHP page. But they need to be listed as "name - district" on one line. I am PHP beginner and if I understand it correctly there need to be two references to get all the data in all records, a third reference to merge them together with " - " in between; and what eludes me the most, putting them in a drop down menu. Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks I'm not sure what to search for or if this can be done... Let's say I have a mysql table named "genre". Now I have "Male" and "Female" in a dropdown menu like this in a form: <select name="genre"> <option>Male</option> <option>Female</option> </select> How would you display, for example, the option Female in a update.php file if that's the genre stored in the mysql database when you fetch the results? I am very new new php (wrote my first PHP script 5 Days ago) and am trying to give myself a crash course but I have hit a pit-stop which is killing me a little! I hope that title makes sense.... Basically I created PHP script to take data from a database and display in, I then wrote some code to use a drop down menu to order that data. That all worked ok until I tried to utilise some pagination. I can make the pagination work, and I can make the ordering work, but not at the same time! At the moment the code that I have will allow me to order the list and almost paginate it. There are 40 results and I want to display 10 at a time. When not using the ordering code I can paginate it perfectly but when I try to intergrate the two bits of code it will only display the first 10 results and not give me an option to go to the next page to see the rest! The code: if (!isset($_GET['start'])) { $_GET['start'] = 0; } $per_page = 10; $start = $_GET['start']; if (!$start) $start = 0; $sort = @$_POST['order']; if (!empty($sort)) { $get = mysql_query("SELECT bookname, bookauthor, bookpub, bookisbn FROM booktable ORDER BY ".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['order'])." ASC LIMIT $start, $per_page"); } else { $get = mysql_query("SELECT bookname, bookauthor, bookpub, bookisbn FROM booktable ORDER BY bookname ASC LIMIT $start, $per_page"); } $record_count = mysql_num_rows($get); ?> <?php if (isset($_GET['showerror'])) $errorcode = $_GET['showerror']; else $errorcode = 0; ?> wont include all the html rubbish and the ordering menu! <div id="mid"> <?php echo "<table>"; echo "<tr>"; echo "<th>"; echo "</th>"; echo "<th>"; echo "Book Title"; echo "</th>"; echo "<th>"; echo "Book Author"; echo "</th>"; echo "<th>"; echo "Book Publisher"; echo "</th>"; echo "<th>"; echo "Book ISBN"; echo "</th>"; echo "<th>"; echo "</th>"; echo "</tr>"; while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($get)) { // get data $bookname = $row['bookname']; $bookauthor = $row['bookauthor']; $bookpub = $row['bookpub']; $bookisbn = $row['bookisbn']; echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>"; echo "<a href='addtolist.php?bookname=".$bookname."&bookauthor=".$bookauthor."&bookpub=".$bookpub."&bookisbn=".$bookisbn."'>Add to basket</a>"; echo "</td>"; echo "<td>"; echo $bookname; echo "</td>"; echo "<td>"; echo $bookauthor; echo "</td>"; echo "<td>"; echo $bookpub; echo "</td>"; echo "<td>"; echo $bookisbn; echo "</td>"; echo "</tr>"; } echo "</table>"; $prev = $start - $per_page; $next = $start + $per_page; if (!($start<=0)) echo "<a href='products.php?start=$prev'>Prev</a> "; //set variable for first page number $i=1; //show page numbers for ($x = 0; $x < $record_count; $x = $x + $per_page) { if ($start != $x) echo "<a class='pagin' href='products.php?start=$x'> $i </a>"; else echo "<a class='pagin' href='products.php?start=$x'><b> $i </b></a>"; $i++; } //show next button if (!($start >= $record_count - $per_page)) echo "<a class='pagin' href='products.php?start=$next'> Next </a>"; ?> Thank you so much for reading! This is actually a page to edit the drama details.

I'm also wondering how I can bring all the drama_genreIDs to my save(doupdate.php) page and update all 3 of them because it seems like only the last dropdown menu's data is saved. And also how can I display only 6 genres instead of 7 with the genre that belongs to the drama , being set as the default selection. I am trying to convert and old website from mysql database to sqlite. One of the chores it must do is collect information from the database and put it in a list/menu select box on a page so the user can choose which item to pursue.
In the following (incomplete) snippit, I am doing something incorrectly because the sql query does get the proper information (I can put it in a table on the page just fine). But I'm having trouble getting the information into the select options on a list/menu. It appears to be putting them all, one after the other in the first option spot. The last one seems to be the only one of 6 or 7 that shows up.
It's been 10 or 12 years since I've messed with php, so I think I'm way behind... any help would be appreciated.

<form action="sqlPropDisplay.php" method="post" id="Residential"> As a complete newbie to php and webdesigning i have a following problem.I would like to retrieve the data from database and display it in a drop down menu.Then i should allow the user to select the values from drop down list along with other details,in other words i have to embed the drop down output as the form input for the user and store the form data in another table.I am running a xampp server and i am using php 5.4 version.Please help.My code is as follows.In this case project_name is displayed as the drop down output.but how do i use the same drop down output as a input in the form. <html> <head></head> <body> <?php error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED); include 'connect.php' ; $tbl_name="projects"; $sql="SELECT project_name FROM $tbl_name "; $result=mysql_query($sql); if($result === FALSE) { die(mysql_error()); } ?> <form name="resources" action="hourssubmit.php" method="post" > <?php echo "<select name='project_name'>"; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "<option value='" . $row['project_name'] ."'>" . $row['project_name'] ."</option>"; } echo "</select>"; ?> </form> </body> </html> Hello to all, I have problem figuring out how to properly display data fetched from MySQL database in a HTML table. In the below example I am using two while loops, where the second one is nested inside first one, that check two different expressions fetching data from tables found in a MySQL database. The second expression compares the two tables IDs and after their match it displays the email of the account holder in each column in the HTML table. The main problem is that the 'email' row is displayed properly while its while expression is not nested and alone(meaning the other data is omitted or commented out), but either nested or neighbored to the first while loop, it is displayed horizontally and the other data ('validity', 'valid_from', 'valid_to') is not displayed.'
Can someone help me on this, I guess the problem lies in the while loop? <thead> <tr> <th data-column-id="id" data-type="numeric">ID</th> <th data-column-id="email">Subscriber's Email</th> <th data-column-id="validity">Validity</th> <th data-column-id="valid_from">Valid From</th> <th data-column-id="valid_to">Valid To</th> </tr> </thead> Here is part of the PHP code:
<?php while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) { echo ' <tr> <td>'.$row["id"].'</td> '; while ($row1 = $stmt1->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) { echo ' <td>'.$row1["email"].'</td> '; } if($row["validity"] == 1) { echo '<td>'.$row["validity"].' month</td>'; }else{ echo '<td>'.$row["validity"].' months</td>'; } echo ' <td>'.$row["valid_from"].'</td> <td>'.$row["valid_to"].'</td> </tr>'; } ?>
Thank you. So i have a <drop down> menu, and a <nav> menu on my left side of the page. I have a problem when i click at the first column of my drop down menu and it explores submenu, the submenu mixes with the nav menu that is under the drop down menu on the left. i could solve it with margin-top of the nav menu but i don't like the empty space beetwen them. I tried with putting overflow:visible; in CSS of my dropdown menu but it is still the same. drop down menu is seen but there is stil seen nav menu under and they are mixed. So basicly i want my dropdown menu to be priority, so when i clicks on my first column (only first column is problem because there under is nav menu the other are open nice) it will explore submenu and the part of nav menu that covers the submenu will be hidden.
Here is the screen shot:
Here is the code of head <dropdown> menu if someone finds the problem.

Hi, I've currently started to modify a chat script of mine to output a moderation panel but the moderation page seems empty(blank) every time I load it. What im trying to do is to take the ID part in my URL via the $_GET and look it up in my database table in the column named id, then select that specific row to be able to retrieve the StringyChat_ip and place it into another table to ban the IP and the second thing im trying to do is to be able to delete the specific row from my table.
My Http link look something like
http://imagecrab.fre.../ban.php?id=159
and my ban.php page where I want to lookup the 159 part and do the banning etc looks like
<? include("admin_code_header.php"); if ($_POST["DeletePost"]) { $id = $_POST['id']; $query = "DELETE FROM ".$dbTable."

BUT IT RETURN ME BLANK OUTPUT. Hi all, I was wondering if someone knows a clean way to make a dropdown menu using just php and html with the following functionality. If someone selects a value from the dropdown options it should be visible on refresh. So in case a have a dropdown menu with: oranges, apples, grapes and someone selects grapes and submits it, grapes should be selected. I have made someonthing but it looks redundant. I think there should be something with a foreach loop or something but i can't figure it out yet. Thanks in advance, cheers!! Hi i have a online/offline script that works great no issues at all. In order to change the html, php file to display when offline I need to point it to that file via input field. What i would like is to change the input filed and have a dropdown that list all the folders and subfolders within the the directory where all the templates are located. I have found a php snippet on the forum that does exactly what i want. The issue is now is to remove the input filed in the script and insert the snippet found here and thats where the issue comes. I'm hoping some guru here can easily help me out . please see below for the code online/offline code ( input filed i would like to replace with dropdown selector <input type="text" name="txttemplate" value="%s" id="txttemplate" />) Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); $page_offline = TRUE; $page_offline_title = " "; $page_offline_message = " Offline"; $admin_ip = "1.1.1.1"; $admin_password = "*****************"; $page_offline_template = "template/path/index.php"; $page_offline_foradmin = TRUE; ini_set("display_errors", "0"); error_reporting(E_COMPILE_ERROR|E_ERROR|E_CORE_ERROR); $page = strstr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], "off.php") ?

I currently have an HTML form where the options for a certain drop-down menu are hard-coded. Instead, I want to use PHP to... 1.

This is what I have so far. <label for="city">What is your destination city?</label> <select class="form-control" id="city" name="city"> <?php //connect to the database $dbc = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME); //grab the city names from the MySQL table $query = "SELECT cities FROM locations"; $res = mysqli_query($dbc, $query); while ($data = mysqli_fetch_assoc($res)) { echo '<option value="'.$data['cities'].'">'.$data['cities'].'</option>'; } //close the db connection mysqli_close($dbc); ?> </select> hi. I am stuck on the dropdown box value calculation. anyone can help me on this problem ? I appreciate it. I have two dropdown boxes on my webpage, and the values that in the dropdown boxes are retrived from the mysql database. dropdown box "A" displays two differnt values, which are "Chassise_Name" and "Chassise_price", and The dropdown box "B" displays the quantity of the item. Dropdown box "A" Dropdown box "B" SuperServer 7036A-T(Black) $90 3 "Superserver 7036A-T(Black)" is retrieved from the Chassis_Name ; "$90" is retrieved from the chassis_Price; "3" is retrieved from the Quantity in other table. Question: how can I take only the price on the Dropdown box "A" multiply the number in the Dropdown box "B"? Here is my code: Code: [Select] echo "<table border='1'>"; echo "<tr><td>"; $result = mysql_query("SELECT Chassis_Name, Chassis_Price FROM Chassis where Chassis_Form_Factor='ATX'") or die(mysql_error()); echo '<select name="Chassis" onChange="change()">'; // keeps getting the next row until there are no more to get while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) { // Print out the contents of each row into a table echo '<option Name="Chassis">',$row['Chassis_Name'],' ',$row['Chassis_Price'],' ','</option>'; } echo '</select>'; echo "</td>"; echo "<td>"; $result= mysql_query("SELECT Number FROM Quantity") or die(mysql_error()); echo '<select name="Quantity" Value="Quantity" onChange="change()" >'; // keeps getting the next row until there are no more to get while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result)) { // Print out the contents of each row into a table echo '<option Name="Quantity">',$row['Number'],'</option>'; } echo '</select>'; echo "</td></tr>"; echo "</table>"; ?> I want make the following, (I have already a database with three tables (Countries, Timeline and Category)). 1: list of countries (drop down menu 1), Timeline of the countries history (drop down 2) and Category (drop down 3). 2: The selected values of the drop down menus must show take the information from the database. Can any one help me with the coding? Hello,
I'm new to php, I don't really have much experience, just have used it in combination with dreamweaver. I'm tackling a new problem now.
Basically, it's about a dropdown menu with pre-defined values. There are multiple dropdowns, having different value choices. People are supposed to be able to select more than one option and then search for the results. these should then be generated according to the selected values, or if no value is selected, ALL is shown.
When the user clicks on search, the values create a msql query that will then be executed and the results shown on the page.
I've been searching high and low for code ideas, but see different stuff everywhere I look, and none of the code seems to be what i want. Some people are using Javascript, some Ajax, or PHP. ideally, I want to use just php and sql
Can someone point me in the right direction on how to tackle this problem, or maybe someone has some code ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Mio
