PHP - Help With Dropdown And Mysql Selects
Hi Guys,
I am a typical newbie with a twist, i program in VB, recently moved to PHP. I need help, preferable an example, but first let me explain what i have. I have a .tpl page that has 3 drop down boxes, one of these is populated from within the .tpl page itself. The other 2 i waant to pupulate from a SELECT on a database from a .php file. The .TPL file i have so far is:- Code: [Select] <style type="text/css"> <!-- .style7 { color: #006600; font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px; } .style14 {color: #003300; font-weight: bold; } .style16 { color: #000066; font-style: italic; } .style25 { color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; } .style28 { font-size: 12px; color: #330000; } .style29 { font-size: 12px } .style31 {color: #003300; font-weight: bold; font-size: 16px; } .style33 { color: #000099; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-size: 18px; } .style34 { color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 24px; } .style35 {font-size: 12px; color: #003300; } .style36 { color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; } .style38 {color: #003300; font-weight: bold; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; } --> </style> <script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <h1 align="center" class="style34">Scotbirds Alertz - Rare and Scarce</h1> <h3 align="center" class="style36">Soon Only VIP Members will be able to Access this Page</h3> <h3 align="center" class="style14">If you have seen something unusual / rare then please call it in on -- <span class="style33">Hotline: 0333 5772473</span></h3> <p align="center" class="style14"> <table width="90%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <?php print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; $the_date_filter = $_GET["DATE_FILTER"];?> <td width="1%"><td width="5%"><td width="2%"><td width="2%"><td width="2%"><form action="alertz_VIP.php" method="post"> <td width="2%"><td width="2%"><td width="5%"><span class="style38">Date</span><td width="3%"></td> <td width="12%"><span class="style14"> <select name=DATE_FILTER size="1" id=DATE_FILTER onchange="this.form.submit()"> <option value="All Dates">All Dates</option> <option value="Today">Today</option> <option value="Last 48hrs">Last 48hrs</option> <option value="Last week">Last Week</option> <option value="last month">Last Month</option> </select> </span></td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td width="7%"><span class="style16"><span class="style14"><span class="style31">Region</span></span></span></td> <td width="22%"><span class="style16"><span class="style14"> <select name=REGION_FILTER size="1" id=REGION_FILTER onchange="this.form.submit()"> <option value="AllRg">All Regions</option> <option value={REGION_FILTER}></option> </select> </span></span></td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td width="8%"><span class="style16"><span class="style14"><span class="style31">Species</span></span></span></td> <td width="20%"><span class="style16"><span class="style14"> <select name=SPECIES_FILTER size="1" id=SPECIES_FILTER onchange="this.form.submit()"> <option value="AllSpec">All Species</option> <option value={SPECIES_FILTER}></option> </select> </span></span></td> <td width="9%"><input type="Submit" name="submit2" value="Search" method="get" action="alertz_VIP.php" /></td> </table> <p> </p> <table width="870" border="1" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#99CC99"> <tr> <th width="178" class="style31" scope="col">Region</th> <th width="184" class="style31" scope="col">Species</th> <th width="96" class="style31" scope="col">Date</th> <th width="96" class="style31" scope="col">Time</th> <th width = "304" class="style31" scope="col">Comments</th> </tr> <!-- BEGIN alerts --> <tr> <th class="style7 style29" scope="col">{alerts.REGION}</th> <th class="style25" scope="col">{alerts.SPECIES}</th> <th class="style35" scope="col">{alerts.DATE} </th> <th scope="col"><span class="style35">{alerts.TIME} </span></th> <th scope="col"><span class="style28">{alerts.COMMENTS} </span></th> </tr> <!-- END alerts --> </table> <p align="center" class="style14"> </p> Now from here i expect the user to select a date from the date box, ( Ideally i would like the other 2 options to only become visible once a selection on the date has been made, i would also like to retain the selected in the date box once the form has been submited. Now the code i have for the PHP so far is quite long winded as my PHP skills are not so good, although i am learning fast.

I would greatly appreciate help with this and even more so for some example of what i am asking for so i can learn from them. Similar Tutorialshave a database with a column of datatype EM (multiple selection, say apples, oranges, grapes) I want to have a form with checkboxes for those values (apples, oranges, grapes etc) so one can select a breakfast basket type that contains for example, oranges and grapes. It would pull from the database those baskets with those selection of fruits (specified in the column 'Fruits', which is a EM datatype column. (I have a multiple selection when entering the values for the column.) Can it be done? Should I make another table with FruitNames? Hi, I'm trying to create a dropdown box that is filled by a mysql column. I found this example, which fills the dropdown box with a list of columns in the database, but I want to fill the drop down box with the content in a column. Any guidance on how to do this would be appreciated. Thank you! Example: $connection = mysql_connect("localhost","username","password"); $fields = mysql_list_fields("database", "table", $connection); $columns = mysql_num_fields($fields); echo "<form action=page_to_post_to.php method=POST><select name=Field>"; for ($i = 0; $i < $columns; $i++) { echo "<option value=$i>"; echo mysql_field_name($fields, $i); } echo "</select></form>"; Hey guys. I am new to PHP and I have figured out how to populate a dropdown box with data from my database but now I want to create another dropdown box with data from my database but I want it to be data that depends on the data from the first drop down box.

I cannot for the life of me work out how to do this and I have no idea what to search to get this. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I will show you the code for my first dropdown box.

I have been trying to figure this for a while now and reading the tutorials are not helping, I think I'm a little over my head on this one and was hoping someone could help me out with this issue.
I am making a User Edit page and would like to have the access level part of the form show the users access current access level thats set in the database when the page loads, and if it needs to be changed you can press the dropdown box and select a new access level. I can't figure out how to show the current access level as default and populate the drop down box with the other access levels in my table.
My Tables look like this
Users table (users):

| id | username | password | flag | realfirst | reallast | dept |

Auth Table (auth):

I've been banging my head on this for a while and I just can't seem to get it to work properly. I have a dropdown menu which selects information from table1 using a select statement (this table is called 'lid'). It selects the firstname, lastname and member id from this table and shows it in the dropdown menu. I'm glad I got that part working but the hard thing is inserting the data that the user selects into another table. So when you select the id member from this dropdown menu it only inserts a blank row into table2 (which is called 'teamlid'). Can you guys help me? How can I insert the id member into my table2? What am I doing wrong here? Thanks a million! This is my first post so if I'm doing anything wrong, let me know and I'll fix it asap!

Hello everyone, So what I'm trying to do is have a dropdown menu displaying a number of <options> for people to select and to update that selection to the database, easy enough right? But I want that option to be displayed as the "selected" option when the page is revisited or refreshed and I just can't figure it out!!! (Permission to bang head on desk?) It would seem like it sould be a really basic thing to do but it's got me completely and a lot of menus around the site are going to rely on this so I came to you guys for help. A simple example would be like the facebook edit profile page, the user selects whether they are Male or Female, the database gets updated and when you return the option you selected before is the one that appears as if selected="selected" had been done. I've tried everything I can think of (all be it from a learners perspective) with no joy, ive managed to get the database connection sorted, the tables done, the login with unique id $_SESSION, logout etc... so then when I got to this I thought... easy LOL yeah right. Some of this probably doesnt even make sense but I'll show you the kind of things I've tried... <select name="gender" size="1" id="gender"> <option value="male" <?php if ($gender == "male") {echo 'selected="selected"';} ;?>>Male</option> <option value="female" <?php if ($gender == "female") {echo 'selected="selected"';} ;?>>Female</option> </select> OR <select name="gender" id="gender"> <option value="" selected="<?php if (!isset($gender)) {echo "selected";} ;?>">Select</option> <option value="male" selected="<?php if ($gender == "male") {echo "selected";} else {echo "";} ;?>">Male</option> <option value="female" selected="<?php if ($gender == "female") {echo "selected";} else {echo "";} ;?>">Female</option> </select> OR <select name="gender" size="1" id="gender"> <option selected="<?php if (!isset($gender)) {echo "selected";} ;?>">Select</option> <option value="<?php if ($gender == "Male") {echo "selected";} else {echo "male";} ;?>">Male</option> <option value="<?php if ($gender == "Female") {echo "selected";} else {echo "female";} ;?>">Female</option> </select> OR <select name="gender" id="gender"> <option value="male"><?php if ($gender == "male") {echo "Male";} ;?></option> <option value="female"><?php if ($gender == "female") {echo "Female";} ;?></option> </select> Honestly man, I've got no idea. The other thing is, I have more than 1 dropdown menu in the same form (5 in total) and if I use 2 or more selecting different options as I go I get a blank screen. And one more, if I have selected Male and it updates the users row and I resubmit Male again it's blank screen time again, lol. Any help would be tremendous and greatly appreciated. Thanks very much, Learner P.S Man! 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>"; ?> Hi all, I'm trying to display a form based on a dropd own selection. The drop down is propagated from a database query. I have the drop down list displaying, but when I click submit, I can't get the result to display. Code: [Select] $sql="SELECT id, company_name FROM webprojects ORDER BY company_name ASC"; $result=mysql_query($sql); $options=""; while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $id=$row["id"]; $company_name=$row["company_name"]; $options.="<OPTION VALUE=\"$id\">".$company_name; } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>PHP Dynamic Drop Down Menu</title> </head> <body> <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="selected.php"> <SELECT NAME=id> <OPTION VALUE=0>Choose <?=$options.="<OPTION VALUE=\"$id\">".$company_name.'</option>';?> </SELECT> <label> <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" /> </label> </form> </body> </html> Any help is greatly appreciated I have found postings close, but not close enough to find my error. I am looking up data from a MySql table and putting it in a dropdown box on a form. I can select the item, but apparently not really. I am not able to echo it, or post it to a record. I'm sure I am missing something simple, but... Code attached if anyone can show me the errors of my ways. Thank you. Hi, I'm a php newbie, with some mysql experience.

GROUP BY a.ItemID, b.name, c.Name ORDER BY a.ItemID DESC LIMIT ". $start.",".$limit; I am building a custom search function which I intend to be able to change the WHERE line to: WHERE a.AdminID = '".$dist."' ".$query $query will be created via if statements for every element in the form which will be called either by the button on the form, or the links in my pagination. The form would have the following: Level(s): dynamic field, Multi Select Status: Both/Enabled/Disabled single select Sports: dynamic field, Multi Select Category: dynamic field, single select. the sport column is a single selected item on the add page, its of type int(11) the levels table, is also a multi select on the add item page, and is of the type set('1','2','3','4','5','12','13') So real question is I guess, how on earth do I work with these 2 multi selects to create this search? Hi,
I would like to store sql query strings in a database. A query might look this like:
SELECT * from ListTable where id = '$id'
The idea would be to retrieve the string and run it as a SQL string. $id would be defined in the procedure so the idea is that when I send the SQL String through, $id would be replaced with its value and everything would work.
Under normal circumstances, the code would look like this:
$id = "somevalue"; $lcSQL = "SELECT * from ListTable where id = '$id'";I would pass the SQL select off to mySQL and all is right with the world. I just want to store the string in a database, retreieve it and use it. Thanks for your help in advance... |
