PHP - <option Selected="selected">

Hi,
I need to call to this text to add a all with value "blank/empty" or "0" to the dropdownlist code below..
it should be inserted int the first position in the dropdownlist and have a value blank and call to this text from the language files:            
            $searchAll = gettext('_LANGUAGE_SEARCH_ALL',_LANGUAGE_SEARCH_ALL,false,false);
            example is:
            ratestitle=>0 gettext('_LANGUAGE_SEARCH_ALL',_LANGUAGE_SEARCH_ALL,false,false);
            the words it calls is "ALL" when the user selects or leaves the "ALL" in the list the value
             remains empty this allows the search to search everything..
basically im stuck how to get it in the dropdown list as the first default position:
can anyone help?

here is my code://this is a search function which calls to the field rate_title the text from the select box is matched to the database table and the search pages shows the search option is the search is successful.. I have 5 of these types of searches but cant give a broader search option to my users as the values must be selected to search--- i need the option "ALL" to have a "EMPTY" value or no value....
         

if (in_array("ratestitle",$searchOptions)&& $showSearchOptions )
            {
            if (empty($sch->filter['ratestitle']) )
               $selectOption=$output['LANGUAGE_SEARCH_RATESTITLE'];
            else
               $selectOption=$sch->filter['ratestitle'];
            $showButton=true;            
         $query = "SELECT DISTINCT rate_title FROM #__rates_table ORDER BY rate_title ASC";
         $dropDownList ="<select class=\"inputbox\" name=\"ratestitle\">";
         $ratesitles =doSelectSql($query);         
         foreach ($ratesitles as $ratetitle)
            {
            $selected="";
            $rate_title=$ratetitle->rate_title;
            if ($ratetitle==".$sch->filter['ratestitle'].")
               $selected="selected";
            $dropDownList .= "<option ".$selected." value=\"".$rate_title."\">".$rate_title."</option>";
            }
         $dropDownList.="</select>";
         $output['RATESTITLE']=$dropDownList;
            }

Hi,

I wanted to make a dynamic php page. I want the user to choose an option you could select in an option box (html) and after that I wish that down the page some text would change. If I take option 1 -> text 1, option 2 -> text 2, ...
But this doesn't work, do I need a button or something to made my code running, and how do I have to use it on the same page?
Or is it possible to run it automaticly after a new choice?

Thanx, Kevin

If I have a variable and a hard coded select dropdown, what is the easiest way to compare the variable with the value and set that particular option's selected attributed to selected?

I'm just attempting to learn how PHP handles things and I can't quite wrap my head around how to apply Selected to the final Option and show the Traits for the Character based on the Selected Option.

I understand this might need POST, if it does, I would appreciate a bit of help on how I would set this up as POST since I didn't think a drop down required a submit button.

Code: [Select]
$character= array (array(Name=>"Barry","Class"=>"Fighter",Level=>1,Str=>10,Dex=>10,"Int"=>10),array(Name=>"Lindehar","Class"=>"Ranger",Level=>1,Str=>10,Dex=>10,"Int"=>10),array(Name=>"Verelden","Class"=>"Mage",Level=>1,Str=>10,Dex=>10,"Int"=>10));

print "Select a Character:<br /><select>";
foreach($character as $array_num)
{
foreach($array_num as $char_trait=>$trait_value)
{
if($char_trait==Name)
{
$selected_value="";
$generated_chars="<option selected=".$selected_value." value='".$char_trait."'>".$char_trait.": ".$trait_value."</option>";
print $generated_chars;
if($selected_value=/".$char_trait.": Barry"/")
{
foreach($char_trait=="Barry")
{
print "<h4>".$char_trait.": ".$trait_value."</h4>";
}
}
}


}
}
print "</select><p />";

Hi guys

I am a newbie with PHP and I have been trying to solve this problem for 3 days..

Ive set up a booking form on my website to be sent directly to my email once the client clicked on the send button..
The problem I am having while checking these pages on wamp is that the booking form is ok but when I click on the send button the following message error appears
"Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\wamp\www\fluffy_paws\booking_form2.php on line 27"

When I check online I have this message "500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed."

Are my codes wrong???

My webhosting is Blacknight.com , Im on Windows Vista, my internet is a dongle with O2 ireland

Thanks for your help!

         </table>
      </form>
   </body>

How do I grab the id of the selected value?

Thank you.

Not sure exactly where this problem is coming from, but php seems the most likely candidate to fix it.  My php loads, from a MySQL database, a list of names (students in a class) and a drop-down for each student with attendance options.  Based on the information in the database, the appropriate attendance option is selected (<option selected></option>).  Everything works fine on the initial page load. 

Next, I want to update the status, so I select a new option from the drop-down list and click submit.  The php code updates the database correctly, but the selected option (in HTML) is still the original one.  If I change the option to something different and submit again, I get the previously selected option (that I selected the first time) - in essence, the HTML is always one step behind the database.

I've attached the snippet of relevant code - again, I know that the code works when the page loads initially and that the database is getting updated correctly.  Any help or comments are appreciated.

I'm trying to create a dynamic option menu with one alert selected based on the first query to the db. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Code: [Select]
//function to get alerts and create select menu with current alerts pre-selected
function getALERTS1($id){
    require('db.php');
    $alert = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT alert1 FROM visit_data WEHERE patientid = $id AND discharged IS NULL");
    $row = mysqli_fetch_array($alert);
   
    $selects=null;
    $query = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT alertid, name FROM alerts");

while($row1 = mysqli_fetch_array($query)) {
    $selects .= "<option value=\"" . $row1['alertid'] . "\">
    if($row1['alertid']==$row['alert1'])
            {
                echo ' selected';
            }
   
    ".$row1['name']."</option>";
  }
  return $selects;
}

<?php  
                              if(mysqli_num_rows($result) )  
                          {  
                               while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))  
                               {  
                          ?>  
                          <form method="POST">
                              <select name="inv"> 
                               <option><?php echo $row["rizikos_lygis"];?></option>
                               <option value=<?php echo $row["sugeneruoja"]; ?>><?php echo $row["pavadinimas"];?>&nbsp<?php echo $row["sugeneruoja"]; ?></option>
                              </select>
                              <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Apskaičiuoti">    
                          </form>
                          <?php

I have a form that contains 3 text fields and 7 populated lists (that are dependent on the choice of the previous lists).  When I post the information to MySQL and to my processing page, it posts the table "ids" instead of the selected option. 

Here's the php code for the form:

<form action="gccsuccess_form.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="gcc" id="gcc">
  <table width="700" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3">

         <option value="2">Week 2 - 4/9 - 4/15</option>

How do I get the processing page to echo the selected option instead of the id?

Hi, I have an html form in "send.htm" that sends data to "retrieve.php" with the following structu

send.htm:
Code: [Select]
<html>
<body>

<form method="post" action="retrieve.php"
<select id='select' name='select' >
                        <option>option1</option>
                        <option>option2</option>
                        <option>option3</option>
                        <option>etc...</option>
</select>
<input type="submit">
</form>

</body>
</html>
retrieve.php:
Code: [Select]
<?php

$selectedoption        = $_POST['select']; 

print"

<html>
<body>
<select id='select' name='select' >
                        <option>option1</option>
                        <option>option2</option>
                        <option>option3</option>
                        <option>etc...</option>
</select>
</body>
</html>
";
?>
How do I specify that the select menu in retrieve.php should have the option selected that was chosen from the select menu in send.htm?

I'm guessing this is probably quite straightforward, but I can't quite work it out. Please help!
Thanks.

Hi guys

I'm struggling a bit, I need to replace a word that occurs multiple times in text with an array("up","down","forward","backwards") of words.


$find = "left";
$replace = array("up","down","forward","backwards");
$text = "left left left left";

echo str_replace($find,$replace,$text);


The Output is: array array array array

Did try this with a foreach statement as well, but no luck. Is there a better way of doing this? 

Thanks

Hi I have a list of states using the array method in a form. The drop down menu works fine.  I want to save the user choice,if the form is re-displayed due to a blank field or pattern mismatch.  I know I can use the selected=selected, but don't know wher to put the statement:
My array is:
state_province = array ("list of states", "provinces")
Var in my labels array is "state"=>"state"
Here is my code for the select/option statement:

{
 if($field == "state")
   {
      echo "<div class='province_state'><label for='state' size='10'>* Province/State</label><select>";
            
      foreach($state_province as $state)
         {
         echo "\n<option value='$state_province' /> ";   
          echo $state ;
          echo "</option>";
         }
      echo "</select></div>\n";   

   }
?Is this the correct code to add and where would I add  it?
          if(@$_POST['state'] == $value)
     {
         echo "selected='selected'  ";
     }
