PHP - Checkbox List With List Options Stored In External Array
Hi, I use the following code to create a select menu from an array of options stored in LISTS.php:
include 'LISTS.php'; print('<select id="from" name="from">'); foreach ($langList as $lang) {printf('<option %s>%s</option>', ($from1 == $lang ? 'selected="selected"' : ''), $lang); } echo '</select>'; where LISTS.php includes the following: $langList = array(' ','English', 'French', 'German', 'Dutch', 'Spanish'); This works great, but now I want to do something similar with a checkbox list, where each checkbox has an associated 'onchange' javascript function and I'm getting pretty stuck. My checkbox list is of the following form: Code: [Select] <html> <ul style="height: 95px; overflow: auto; width: 200px; border: 1px solid #480091; list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> <li id="li1b"><label for="chk1b"><input name="chk1b" id="chk1b" type="checkbox" onchange="function1('chk1b','li1b')">Option1</label></li> <li id="li2b"><label for="chk2b"><input name="chk2b" id="chk2b" type="checkbox" onchange="function1('chk2b','li2b')">Option2</label></li> //etc. </ul> </html> What I want to do is have 'Option1', 'Option2', etc. stored in an array in LISTS.php and have a PHP script that populates the checkbox list accordingly, in a similar manner to my select menu above. I can't work out how to get the ID of the next <li> and the next <input> in the list to go up by one each time, e.g. 'li1b' then 'li2b', 'li3b', etc. Could someone pls help me out? Thanks! Similar TutorialsHi, In my mysql database i have a text input option, in the registration form and edit my details form i have a multiple select dropdown list, which user selects options to populate the text input box, which ultimately populates the text field in the mysql database. All works perfectly. The dropdownlist consists of 3 parts <optgroups> first is current selection (what is the usesr current selection)works fine, The second <optgroup> is existing words, what words we(the site) have given as options, and the third <optgroup> is the words that others have used. This is where im having a small problem. Because its a text field when i call the data from the database, it calls the entire text box as a single option in my select list.. I want to break the words in the text field (at the comma) and have them listed each one as an option in the select list. Example what i need: Words in text box:(my input allows the "comma") word1, word2, word3, word4, word5, word6, How i want them called/displayed: <option value=\"word1\">word1</option> <option value=\"word2\">word2</option> <option value=\"word3\">word3</option> <option value=\"word4\">word4</option> <option value=\"word5\">word5</option> <option value=\"word6\">word6</option> here's my code: $query = "SELECT allwords FROM #__functions_experience WHERE profile_id = '".(int)$profileId."' LIMIT 1"; $original_functionsexperience =doSelectSql($query,1); $query = "SELECT allwords FROM #__functions_experience WHERE profile_id = '".(int)$profileId."' LIMIT 1"; $functionsexperiencelist=doSelectSql($query); $funcexpList ="<select multiple=\"multiple\" onchange=\"setFunctionsexperience(this.options)\">"; foreach ($functionsexperiencelist as $functionsexperienceal) { $selected=""; if ($functionsexperienceals->allwords == $original_functionsexperience) $selected=' selected="selected"'; $allwords=$functionsexperienceal->allwords; $funcexpList .= "<optgroup label=\"Current selection\"> <option value=\"".$allwords."\" ".$selected." >".$allwords."</option> </optgroup> <optgroup label=\"Existing Words\"> <option value=\"existing1,\">existing1</option> <option value=\"existing2,\">existing2</option> <option value=\"existing3,\">existing3</option> <option value=\"existing4,\">existing4</option> <option value=\"existing5,\">existing5</option> <option value=\"existing6,\">existing6</option> </optgroup> <optgroup label=\"Others added\"> //heres problem <option value=\"".$allwordsgeneral."\">".$allwordsgeneral."</option> </optgroup>"; } $funcexpList.="</select>"; $output['FUNCEXPLIST']=$funcexpList; The result im getting for optgroup others added: word1, word2, word3, word4, word5, how can i get it like this: <option value=\"word1\">word1</option> <option value=\"word2\">word2</option> <option value=\"word3\">word3</option> <option value=\"word4\">word4</option> <option value=\"word5\">word5</option> <option value=\"word6\">word6</option> Hi there, Im trying to build a drop down menu that has an if statement to determine the results, heres the code below: Code: [Select] <option value="<?php echo $row_Planet['PlanetName']?>"<?php if ($row_Planet['PlanetName'] == 'Mon Calamari'){ echo"Yavin"; echo"Denab";) ?><?php echo $row_Planet['PlanetName']?></option> Im really unsure of the syntax. If you could help that would be ace! Thanks Hello all, I found this dynamic checkbox list online. I have changed it to suit my needs, added some of my own parts but now, after getting past all the terminal errors, it now produces absolutely nothing. Can I get some help on why there is no echo occurring? Thanks! <?php function dynamic_checkbox_table ($sql_str, $col_label, $col_name, $val_checked, $cant_cols_tbl){ $sql_str = dynamic_checkbox_table("SELECT * FROM Categories"); $col_label = "catlevel3"; $col_name = "catlevel3"; $val_checked="S"; $cant_cols_tbl=3; //connect DB and run query $db="TB"; $db_user=""; $pass=""; $host="localhost"; @mysql_connect($host,$db_user,$pass); @mysql_select_db($db) or die ("cannot connect to DB"); $q_resultado = mysql_query($sql_str); mysql_close(); if (mysql_num_rows($q_resultado)==0) exit("no rows returned"); $next_row = mysql_fetch_array($q_resultado); //fetch first row $output = "<table border=\"1\">\n"; //open table tag do { $output .= "<tr>\n"; //open row tag for ($i=1 ; $i <= $cant_cols_tbl ; $i++ ){ //loops as many times as $cant_cols_tbl $row=$next_row; $output .= "<td>"; //open TD tag $output .= (!$row) ?

What I'd like to do is set 1 as a default. But I've no idea how to do it!? Here's the code: <?php $i = 0; ?> <?php if ( bp_has_groups() ) : while ( bp_groups() ) : bp_the_group(); ?> <input type="checkbox" id="field_reg_groups_<?php echo $i; ?>" name="field_reg_groups[]" value="<?php bp_group_id(); ?>" /><?php bp_group_name(); ?> <?php } ?> <?php $i++; ?> Any help is much appreciated TIA Hi, basically, here's the deal: I have a lit of checkboxes that are added by the admin (there's an unlimited amount, just depends on how many are added). Then, those are put in a form, in which the user picks whichever ones need to be chosen and those values get sent to a MySQL table. Here's the code that displays the checkboxes Code: [Select] <?php $sql="SELECT * FROM category ORDER BY categoryID ASC"; $result=mysql_query($sql); while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo "<input type='checkbox' id='". $row['categoryName'] ."' name='licensed[]' value='" . $row['categoryID'] ."' /><label for='". $row['categoryName'] ."'><br>" . $row['categoryName'] ."</label><br>"; } ?> What I'm making now, is an edit form where whichever checkboxes were checked, will show up checked in the edit form. But I'm not really sure how to go about this, since there is only one actual input tag in the code, I can't select the different ones. I also have this SQL query which selects whichever boxes were inputted into the DB Code: [Select] $sql2="SELECT * FROM category, categoryInfo WHERE category.categoryID = categoryInfo.categoryID AND categoryInfo.parentID = $parentID"; $result2=mysql_query($sql2); Where $parentID is the ID of whichever form you're editing. But yes, I'm basically not really sure how to go about this and would like some help figuring this out Thanks for your time I need to pass captured data, basically, a list of email addresses that are being read from a CSV file and (1st) saved to an local database, then sent over to an external source via URL string. I have everything working except - script opens the file, read and validates all emails in the specified column, and saves to local db. ISSUE: after validating then INSERTING the data into local mySQL db, I need to then pass each piece of data to an external source via URL string. Example: www.domain.com?email={$new_email} I was initially think to just add the URL in a header function but, I'm not sure if the HEADER() function the right method to pass all of the data - during the loop - via the URL string. For example, if the CSV file contain 500 emails: Q: how can I continue that loop until the last email read, passing each up to the external source via the URL string? I'm not sure if using the HEADER() function at the end of the script - but within the loop - will interate and send each capture email via that URL string. Can anyone advise a possible solution to this? thanks Ok, so I've spent quite a bit of time piecing together this solution from a variety of sources. As such, I may have something in my code below that doesn't make sense or isn't neccessary. Please let me know if that is the case. I'm creating an administrative form that users will you to add/remove items from a MySQL table that lists open positions for a facility. The foreach loop generates all of the possible job specialties from a table called 'specialty_list'. This table is joined to a second table ('open_positions') that lists any positions that have been selected previously. Where I'm stuck is getting the checkbox to be checked if the facility_ID from the open_positions table matches the $id passed in the URL via ?facility_id=''. Here's where I am so far: $query = "SELECT specialty_list.specialty_displayname , specialty_shortname , open_positions.position , facility_ID FROM specialty_list LEFT OUTER JOIN open_positions ON open_positions.position = specialty_list.specialty_shortname ORDER BY specialty_list.specialty_shortname"; $results = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) { $positions[$row['specialty_shortname']] = $row['specialty_displayname']; } echo "<form method='POST' action='checkbox.php'>"; foreach($positions as $specialty_shortname => $specialty_displayname) { $facility_ID = $row['facility_ID']; $checked = $facility_ID == $row['facility_ID'] ? ' checked' : ''; echo "<input type='checkbox' name='position[]' value=\"{$specialty_shortname}\"{$checked}> {$specialty_displayname}</input><br/>"; } echo "<input type='hidden' name='facility_ID' value='$id'>"; echo "<input type='submit' value='Submit Checkboxes!'>"; echo "</form>"; Any ideas how to get this working? I feel like I'm very close, but I just can't get it. I also tried starting from scratch with a WHILE statement instead of a FOREACH, but haven't tweaked it enough to prevent duplicate checkboxes. With that in mind, here it is, just in case that's a better direction: $query = "SELECT specialty_list.specialty_displayname , specialty_shortname , open_positions.position , facility_ID FROM specialty_list LEFT OUTER JOIN open_positions ON open_positions.position = specialty_list.specialty_shortname ORDER BY specialty_list.specialty_shortname"; $results = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); echo "<form method='POST' action='checkbox.php'>"; while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) { $facility_ID = $row['facility_ID']; $specialty_shortname = $row['specialty_shortname']; $specialty_displayname = $row['specialty_displayname']; if ($facililty_ID==$id) { $checked=' checked'; } echo "<input type='checkbox' name='position[]' value=\"$specialty_shortname\"$checked> $specialty_displayname</input><br/>"; } echo "<input type='hidden' name='facility_ID' value='$id'>"; echo "<input type='submit' value='Submit Checkboxes!'>"; echo "</form>"; Hey guys, I can't wrap my head around how to make this work right... I have three tables: Code: [Select] CREATE TABLE `games` ( `g_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `name` varchar(150) DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`g_id`)); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `game_player` ( `r_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `p_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, `g_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, `bool` int(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', PRIMARY KEY (`r_id`)); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `players` ( `p_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `playerid` varchar(150) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`p_id`), UNIQUE KEY `playerid` (`playerid`)); The players table is my list of users, and they're tied to the list of games via the game_player table. So here's my issue... I'm trying to show the full list of games, and then check mark each record where the player does play it. This is what I have so far - it shows all the games, but it's not checking the boxes. Code: [Select] $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM games") or die(mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $newquery = "SELECT * FROM game_player, players WHERE game_player.p_id = players.p_id AND game_player.g_id = ".$row['g_id']. " AND players.playerid = {$userid}"; $query = mysql_query($newquery) or die(mysql_error()); if($query['bool'] == 1) { $set_checked = " CHECKED"; } else{ $set_checked = ""; } echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"box1\" value=\"".$query['g_id']."\"" . $set_checked . "/>".$row['name']."<br />\n"; } Hi , I have one question .. Can I split showing of content of dynamic list in 2 parts , when I echo list in code .. Code: [Select] <?php // Run a select query to get my letest 8 items // Connect to the MySQL database include "../connect_to_mysql.php"; $dynamicList = ""; $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM products ORDER BY date_added DESC LIMIT 8"); $productCount = mysql_num_rows($sql); // count the output amount if ($productCount > 0) { while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ $id = $row["id"]; $product_name = $row["product_name"]; $price = $row["price"]; $date_added = strftime("%b %d, %Y", strtotime($row["date_added"])); $dynamicList .= '<table width="100%" border="2" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td width="17%" valign="top"><a href="product.php?id=' . $id .

Can I split dynamic list to show 4 images with details on the left side and 4 on the right side? Thank you in advance for help , if is possible Is there a way to take data that is listed like a,b,c,d,e and turn that into an unordered list? Basically, I'm going to have a list of schools that will be listed with comma separators. I'll print that data out in two places, one will be printed as it's in the database. The other I would like to echo as an unordered list. How hard would something like this be? I have a database with all my users. I need an empty list and when a user clicks a button "Add me to the list" they are added to the first position in the list Slots 1. Tom 2. 3. 4. 5. Later, Jerry wants to be added to the list. So this happens Slots 1. Jerry 2. Tom 3. 4. 5. More people join the list 1. Bob 2. John 3. Jerry 4. Tom 5. Tom gets upset clicks the same button to join the list again, and he's bumped back up to first place. Slots 1. Tom 2. Bob 3. John 4. Jerry 5. Is this possible? And is so, how would I go about getting started on such a thing? I've been using PHP for about a year and a half. nothing gets put into the select list Alright, so I have an xml file differences.xml that is being parsed in XML. This is what the xml looks like: <item code="lM" name="dog"> <cost>5000</cost> <Start>12/15/2010</Start> <End>01/13/2011</End> </item> <item code="lF" name="cat"> <cost>5000</cost> <Start>04/15/2010</Start> <End>04/23/2011</End> </item>[/ I want to have the item names (dog, cat) show in a dropdown menu so that I can select these items for editing before storing in my mysql database. This is the php code I have so far: <?PHP $xml = simplexml_load_file("differences.xml"); $object = $xml->xpath("//item"); echo '<SELECT name=object>'; foreach ($object['name'] as $key => $value) { echo '<OPTION value='.$value.'> '.$value; } echo '</select>'; ?> I do have a dropdown list but there are no values inside it (it is empty). Can anyone help me figure out why? I do have this code that does work which lists the items in plaintext (not in a dropdown) so hopefull this will help us out: <?PHP $xml = simplexml_load_file("differences.xml"); $object = $xml->xpath("//item"); $count = count($object); $i = 0; while($i < $count) { echo '<h1>'.$object[$i]['name'].'</h1>'; $i++; } ?> Hello. I am just trying to sort an array alphabetically. Here's the code I'm using: function GetAssocCharities($registrationNo) { $db = ConnectionString::ConnectTo_www_ago_mo_gov_data(); $sqlstring = "SELECT * FROM charityPartners where RegistrationNo LIKE '$registrationNo' ORDER BY Name"; $results = @mysql_query($sqlstring); $org = null; while ($resultArray = mysql_fetch_array($results)) { $temp = new Registrants($resultArray['ARegNoFormatted'], $resultArray); $org[] = $temp; } return asort($org); } When I try to loop through the array using a foreach loop, I get an error that Invalid argument supplied for foreach(). Here's my foreach loop: $lstCharities = OrgQueries::GetAssocCharities($registrant->RegNoFormatted); foreach($lstCharities as $c) { //dom something here } I'm sure its something with not understanding list v array or something or that nature, but I'm not having much luck figuring it out with google. Thanks! I'm working on a file uploading project, and I want to let admins restrict the files uploaded to certain files only. Should this be saved in the database, or should I make a file that saves an array? If I do it via the file method, how would I update an array, say allowed.php? Example: How could I change <?php $allowed = array('zip', 'png'); ?> To <?php $allowed = array('gif', 'png'); ?> Here is how I get categories for article listing. Article can be written in several categories at once. So I have this code: Code: [Select] $category = '1,5,23,46'; //Category IDs $get_cats = explode("," , $category); $cats = ""; for ($i = 0; $i<count($get_cats); $i++ ) { $cat = trim($get_cats[$i]); $catSlug = get_value_of($cat, "inc/cat_ids.php"); $catName = str_replace("-"," ",$catSlug); $cats .= "<a href=\"index.php?category=$catSlug\">".strtoupper($catName)."</a>, "; } $cats = substr($cats,0,-2); As you can see there's get_value_of function that is used to read the category from the file. File is cat_ids.php and looks like this: Quote 1='category-name-1'; 2='category-name-2'; 3='category name-3'; 4='category-name-4'; 5='category-name-5'; etc. I want to improve this in order not to read the file at each step ("for" loop). Means, one can load the file and then generate a list of (links) category compared to the numbers (Ids). So if $category is "1,3,4" I want to get list like this (by reading cat_ids.php): category-name-1, category name-3, category-name-4 With current function I read value for every ID from file in every step. So if article have 10 or more categories script load file 10 or more times. Looking for a solution to do this from a reading file only once. Thanks. I am passing an array to an option list but if a value has two words, the second word doesnt get sent via POST. So if the value should be THE ONE, the word ONE doesnt get sent via POST. Kinda wierd, wondered if there is an easy explanation for this? Code: [Select] <?php echo '<SELECT name=carrier>'; foreach ($allcar as $key => $value) { echo '<OPTION value=' . $value . '> ' . $value . ''; } echo '</select>'; ?> Hello, I'm having trouble getting a piece of code to work and as a result right now i have bloated code on a simple task. Currently my code looks like this: Code: [Select] //convert responses into one string to check for spam $full_string = $name.' | '.$email.' | '.$message; //look for spam words if ( (stristr($full_string, 'test')) || (stristr($full_string, 'http')) || (stristr($full_string, 'www')) || (stristr($full_string, 'site')) || (stristr($full_string, 'fake')) || (stristr($full_string, 'viagra')) || (stristr($full_string, 'cialis')) || (stristr($full_string, 'asdf')) || (stristr($full_string, 'txt')) || (stristr($full_string, 'doc')) || (stristr($full_string, 'xls')) || (stristr($full_string, 'htm')) || (stristr($full_string, 'sale')) || (stristr($full_string, 'free')) ){ I would like to instead place all my 'spam' words in an array like this Code: [Select] $spam_array = array('test', 'viagra', cialis...etc If i had all my spam words in an array, how would i write an if statement to check if any of those words appeared in $full_string ? Thanks for your help! I have a database table with categories and subcategories, with the structure of :: categoryid, categoryname, parentid I have found numerous examples of printing out a tree structure of the table, and it works, but I would like to get all the data into an array, ultimately to print the array to a listbox to select from. The array structure would be categoryid => categoryname. The basic query I have now is as follows :: Code: [Select] function createCatTree($thisParentCatID=0,$depth=0) { $catIDQ = mysql_query("SELECT * from category WHERE parentcatid = $thisParentCatID;"); while ( $catIDQRow = mysql_fetch_array($catIDQ) ) { $thisCatName = $catIDQRow['categoryname']; $thisCatID = $catIDQRow['categoryid']; for($i = 0; $i < $depth; $i++) $spcstr.= " "; // create spaces to mimic a tree structure $value = $spcstr.$thisCatName; // add spaces echo $value; createCatTree($thisCatID,$depth+1); } } I was hoping to send the categoryid and categoryname to an array, like Code: [Select] $arr[$thisCatID] = $value;then change my function call to be Code: [Select] createCatTree($thisCatID,$depth+1,$arr);to send the array as a variable back to the function to hold the data going forward. Also, I added a section at the top of the function to see if the array needed to be initialized, like Code: [Select] if ($arr == "") { $arr = array(); } but this does not work. Is there any way to use this basic recursive code and save all the data to an array to be worked on at a later time? |
