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"> I currently am working on a project where I code a "simple" telephone directory. There are three main tasks that it needs to do: 1. Directory.php(index page) has a "First Name" and "Last Name" field and a search button. When a name is searched from the directory.txt file, it displays First Name, Last Name, Address, City, State, Zip and phone in findinfo.php in designated text boxes...first name, last name, etc. 2. From the findinfo.php, like previously stated, the users information is listed in the appropriate text boxes. From there, there is an update button that will overwrite the user's information to directory.txt if that button is selected. It will then say the write was sucessful. 3. (completed this step) From the index page, there is a link that will take you to addnew.php where you enter First Name, Last Name, Address, City, State, Zip and phone in a web form and write it to directory.txt. This is the php code for the third step: <?php $newentryfile = fopen("directory.txt", "a+"); $firstname = $_POST['fname']; $lastname = $_POST['lname']; $address = $_POST['address']; $city = $_POST['city']; $state = $_POST['state']; $zip = $_POST['zip']; $phone = $_POST['phone']; $newentry = "$firstname $lastname\n\r $address\n\r $city, $state $zip\n\r $phone\n\r"; if (flock($newentryfile, LOCK_EX)) { if (fwrite($newentryfile, $newentry) > 0) echo "<p>" . stripslashes($firstname) . " " . stripslashes($lastname) . " has been added to the directory.</p>"; else echo "<p>Registration error!</p>"; flock($newentryfile, LOCK_UN); } else echo "<p>Cannot write to the file. Please try again later</p>"; fclose($newentryfile); if(empty($firstname) || empty($lastname) || empty($address) || empty($city) || empty ($state) || empty($zip) || empty($phone)) { echo "<p>Please go back and fill out all fields.</p>"; } ?> So to sum it all up, what would be my best approach? I am totally stumped and not sure which function to use. Should I work my way from step 1 to step 2? I see it as when I do the search for the name from directory.php, it takes me to findinfo.php, listing the users information in the text boxes. From there, if I needed to, having the user's information already listed I could hit the update button to overwrite the new information to directory.txt. Doing the update when then tell me that the write was successful. I have literally been scouring the internet for hours. What would be the best function to do this? I hope I was clear enough. Please help me out and thank you for your time. I have a set of 26 checkboxes that are stored in an array. The below code dumps the comma separated array values into a single record column. Code: [Select] // dumping the type of job checkboxes $type = $_POST['type']; var_dump($type); // Setting up a blank variable to be used in the coming loop. $allStyles = ""; // For every checkbox value sent to the form. foreach ($type as $style) { // Append the string with the current array element, and then add a comma and a space at the end. $allTypes .= $style . ", "; } // Delete the last two characters from the string. $allTypes = substr($allTypes, 0, -2); // end dumping the type of job checkboxes This works great! But my needs go past this. The record can be edited. So I need to get the values back out of the database and populate the correct check boxes for editing. The checkboxes are generated by this code. Code: [Select] <div class="text">Job Type (<a class="editlist" href="javascript:editlist('listedit.php?edit=typelist',700,400);">edit list</a>):</div> <div class="field"> <?PHP $connection=mysql_connect ("localhost", "name", "pass") or die ("I cannot connect to the database."); $db=mysql_select_db ("database", $connection) or die (mysql_error()); $query = "SELECT type FROM typelist ORDER BY type ASC"; $sql_result = mysql_query($query, $connection) or die (mysql_error()); $i=1; echo '<table valign="top"><tr><td>'; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) { $type = $row["type"]; if ($i > 1 && $i % 26 == 0) echo '</td><td>'; else if ($i) echo ''; ++$i; echo "<input style='font-size:10px;' name='type[]' type='checkbox' value='$type'><span style='color:#000;'>$type</span></input><br/>"; } echo '</td></tr></table>'; ?> </div> I am having a problem getting these checkboxes repopulated. I think that a way to do this is to: Get the values out of the database in a array Compare the values the list of all possible values. Check the boxes of the values confirmed to be there. I didn't build the application so I need help to work through this problem. hello. i have a question for you. say i have a group of tick boxes and i select a couple. would i put them in to the database as varchar ? like this: id varchar 1 1, 2, 3 or id varchar 1 '1', '2', '3' then my next question is how would i use them. i guess i would explode them or something. the thing is, i have some code that currently pull 1 item from the database (using varchar) and echos it fine but when i add more i get nothing back. thanks rick Hi, guys. I am a php newb and stuck (see title). I it will only send the value of 1 tick box over to the page "delete_message.php" This is what i have so far: Code: [Select] <?php // get messages $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tbl_pvt_msg WHERE to_UID='$UID'"); if (!$result) die("Query to show fields from table failed"); while ($data=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $_SESSION['from_UID']=$data['1']; UIDtoemail(); $from_email=$_SESSION['from_email']; $contents=$data['3']; $timesent=$data['4']; $msg_ID=$data['0']; echo "<form action='scripts/delete_message.php' method='POST' >"; echo "<tr><td>$from_email</td><td>$contents</td><td>$timesent</td><td><input type='checkbox' value='$msg_ID' name='msg_ID' /></td> </tr>"; } // turn uid into email function UIDtoemail(){ $from_UID=$_SESSION['from_UID']; $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tbl_usr WHERE UID='$from_UID'"); if (!$result) die("Query to show fields from table failed"); $data=mysql_fetch_array($result); $_SESSION['from_email']=$data['7']; } ?> </table> <input type="submit" value="Delete" id="delete" /> </form> Hi, I had a form which contains, 8 select boxes. In those 8 select boxes, 3 of the boxes are interlinked, like, I am able to generate data in other 2 select boxes, if one box is been selected. i.e. based upon selection of one select box, and i am able to generate data in other select box. So, 3 select boxes are interlinked. And remaining 5 selects are optional, if the user selects, then we need to generate data based upon selection of the user. Here the main issue is how to grab data in the post back form, like, how to capture the number of selects boxes selected and what are those selected, and based upon that we need to generate data. Here one more important thing is that, in the report generation form(postback form), I need to show the data in a table. So , in table I had 9 columns and these would be common to whatever the selection made, but, only the requeired data would be changed based upon the selection of the remaining 5 optional boxes. Hope you got me!!!! Hi. I have the following code to delete a row when the date has passed. Code: [Select] $today = date("dmY"); $vLongDate = date("dmY", strtotime($thisDate)); if ($today > $vLongDate) { mysql_query("DELETE FROM events WHERE id < '$id'"); } $today is current date, while $vLongDate is the date that is on my database. Am i doing the if statement correctly?? Hi, I'm trying to get a php webform to log onto the database automatically before it loads on the website page. In other words I don't want the customer having log onto the database or be a guest. I think I need the code below to do that. Question is, can I just add this code into the php file that is the webform or add the <?php ?> to it and have it above the webform php code. Also do I need to alter any other dbconnect php pages as well? Also do I need to edit the htaccess file also. function verify_code() { $connection = mysql_connect ("localhost", "fred", "kool3401") or die ('Error: ' . mysql_error()); $db = mysql_select_db ("october"); { echo "Authenticated"; } Many Thanks This topic has been moved to Ajax Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=352528.0 Hi all, I am wondering what the best way to do this is... Take GoDaddy for example, if your domain is about to expire you will get an automatic email. I am wanting to do something similar, If someone orders a Soap Dispenser, I want to send an email (if they accept to receiving emails on the order) each month asking/reminding them to top up on soap. I have been reading but cant find anything adequate, I have seen something about Cron Jobs, but never heard of this before, please could you point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance. Peter I am building an Event Registration system, and am thinking that it should put the Attendee's name on the Ticket (and in the database) as a backup. Is there a way to easily (and dynamically) display the same number of Text-Boxes as the # of Attendees entered? For example, let's say the Customer (payor) wants to buy Tickets for herself and 5 friends to a Banjo Festival. Right now, I just have a drop-down box to capture the head-count, but it would be nice to have 5 Text-Boxes (or something appear) so that the Customer can easily type in the Names of the 5 Attendees *without* having to suffer numerous other clicks and/or screens. Follow me? Is there a way to do that? Thanks, Debbie Hello, I have a script that displays that uses a while loop in php to display all of the records. For each record, I added an input text box with a button to update one of the fields in the record set. When I run the script only the first listing will update and the subsequent listings on the page will not update. Should I go about this set up differently?

this is my first post after joining the forum.
First of all, I am not a programmer. My field is of Building design and Architecture. I work for an Architectural company.
I have a great interest in programming and I started learning php, mysql, html css and jscript, to develop a timesheet application for the company. The web application was created and successully implemented in April this year...! However, all these are purely 'self learning', and it has its own downsides as well. This was just a small intro..., let me come to what i request help on. This is for further development of the application.
I have a page to edit the 'utilization' rate of each employee, based on their designations. So the page has all the designations listed as <labels>, next to which a textbox, for the user to fill in the utilization rate. Scenario is that the user will not save each designation's utilization rate immediately after filling it. User will keep going till he fills the last item and then hit the submit button to save. Now, in php I can get all the values from the Request Array. But, how will I know which designations these values belong to? So, what i have as a solution is to name the textboxes with the designation_ids as suffix. May be like;
utilTextbox_1, utilTextbox_2, utilTextbox_3 etc...
Then when the form is submitted;
Check each Request Array element to see if its name starts with 'utilTextbox'
If Yes, split it using '_' to get the designation_id
Update the db table with the value of the text box
Check the next Array Element.....and so on...
is this the correct method or is there a better way of doing this?
Hi guys, I am struggling with a form containing multiple checkboxes with corresponding textboxes. Eg.: there are 5 checkboxes (XS, S, M, L, XL) and 5 textboxes (with values 3,4,5,6,8) that correspond to the checkboxes. I give all the checkboxes the name 'size[]' and the textboxes the name 'price[]'. The aim is to have my script set a boolean to true and update the corresponding price if the checkbox is selected. Unfortunately it does not work this way: checkboxes are only put in the array when they are selected, meaning that if I select only checkbox S and L, the array length is 2 only, but array length price is always 5, so size[1] does not correspond to price[1] necessarily. There probably is a better way to achieve what I need. Could anyone point me in the right direction? edit: BTW the number of items is dynamic: sometimes there will also be XXL or some items will be missing and I also need to set the price for items where the checkbox is not checked. Hi. Need some help on one simple task yet so hard. I have puzzled on this for days and no luck. I have a great script i got from somewhere. Code: [Select] function get_time_difference( $start, $end ) { $uts['start'] = strtotime( $start ); $uts['end'] = strtotime( $end ); if( $uts['start']!==-1 && $uts['end']!==-1 ) { if( $uts['end'] >= $uts['start'] ) { $diff = $uts['end'] - $uts['start']; if( $days=intval((floor($diff/86400))) ) $diff = $diff % 86400; if( $hours=intval((floor($diff/3600))) ) $diff = $diff % 3600; if( $minutes=intval((floor($diff/60))) ) $diff = $diff % 60; $diff = intval( $diff ); return( array('days'=>$days, 'hours'=>$hours, 'minutes'=>$minutes, 'seconds'=>$diff) ); } else { trigger_error( "Ending date/time is earlier than the start date/time", E_USER_WARNING ); } } else { trigger_error( "Invalid date/time data detected", E_USER_WARNING ); } return( false ); } Now the other part is that i have 3 textboxes and i woul like to add the first one like 15:00:00 the second one 18:30:00 and the third would display the difference in lets say seconds. At least the function displays the results in seconds. But the problem is how to get the textbox to work whitout posting the info but to use onchange Any ideas? Code: [Select] <input type="text" value="" name="start_time"/> <input type="text" value="" name="end_time"/> <input type="text" value="______" name="difference"/> I have a form on my website with a text area input field.
