PHP - Php+mysql Drag And Drop
Hi,
At present the PHP page reads the MySQL data and prints on screen and if the result if 'FREE' it shows a clickable image for the user to book. I am looking for something that allows the user to drag the result they fund to another location with in the table. I.e. user has box 1 filled with their name, they can drag their name to box 9 and it saves it, so they can go back on the it will be their. If anyone knows where I can firn maybe a tutorial, or guide to get started with this, as I have looked and cannot see anything. Cheers.

I did a tutorial for the drag and drop and now I'm trying to put it together with a form. The problem I'm having is that I'm not able to get the filename, so that I can insert it into the database.

Array ( [0] => ) 1
if(isset($_FILES['files'])) { $filename = $_FILES['files']['name']; echo print_r($filename); die(); }
if(isset($_FILES['files'])) { $filename = $_FILES['files']['name']; } if(isset($_POST['add_product'])) { echo print_r($filename); die(); }

There is one box on the right side with heading "Question Bank". From the "Question Bank" we can drag the questions to other boxes but can't do the reverse(this is also working). Also we can sort the questions within the box or drag the questions from one box to another. Box heading are the categories and items are questions associated to that categories. What i need is : Event that updates the database when we drag the questions from "Question Bank" to any box on the left side. Please note Questions in the "Question Bank" are pre created coming from database. Event that updates the database when we sort the questions within the box. Event that updates the database when we drag the question from one box to another box. it should also do the sorting for that two boxes. Event that updates the database when we sort the boxes. Here is the JS Fiddle link jsfiddle.net/6o30rrzx Question Bank is comming on the bottom of the page instead of on the right side any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated Thank you for reading this post.

Is there any practical way to fix this problem other than using javascript to finish up? I'm a newbie on php. I'm really a system administrator and I was just task to do this simple task. For me its hard but I'm sure for a programmer this is very simple. My agenda is to pull out data on one of my column in mysql, select it and dump it on mysql. Here is the php for retrieving mysql data Code: [Select] <?php function database_connect($users) { $resource_link = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "root"); if (mysql_select_db($users, $resource_link)) { return $resource_link; } else { echo "Cannot connect to DB"; return false; } } function print_dropdown($query, $link){ $queried = mysql_query($query, $link); $menu = '<select username="username">'; while ($result = mysql_fetch_array($queried)) { $menu .= ' <option value="' . $result['id'] . '">' . $result['username'] . '</option>'; } $menu .= '</select>'; return $menu; } //Some other form elements, or just start a form. echo '<form method="post" action="create2.php">'; //The important bit echo print_dropdown("SELECT username FROM mailbox;", database_connect("users")); //Some other form elements, or just end the form. echo '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/></form>'; Here is the content of my create2.php. This is the php page who do the insert on my mysql. Code: [Select] <?php // open the connection $conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "root"); // pick the database to use mysql_select_db("users",$conn); // create the SQL statement $sql2 = "INSERT INTO mailbox values ('','locked','','$_POST[username]','',NOW(),'','locked','')"; // for troubleshooting $result = mysql_query($sql2, $conn) or die(mysql_error()); // execute the SQL statement //if (mysql_query($sql2, $conn)) { // echo "Success"; //} else { // echo "Fail"; //} } ?> When I click the submit button, I don't see any record being inserted on my table. I'm using the create2.php on my other page though it is only an insert/fill up form not like this one that I need to pull up the date, select and insert to mysql. Hello Friends!.... here is the big idea. I am trying to make a form in which there will be 2 drop down lists which will be populating directly from MySQL DB .... Actually i am developing a student management system as my first PHP project... here i want to have 2 drop down lists first is roll number and second is student name. i want that when some one select the roll number in the first drop down the student name against it is automatically populated in the next drop down. please help me friends i am new to php and dont know soo much.! any help PLZZZZZZZZZZ hey all so I have this bit down: Code: [Select] $query="SELECT `2010 Region Code` AS codes FROM locations"; $results = mysql_query($query); $options=""; $options = "<select location='codes'>"; while($nt=mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) { $thing=$nt["codes"]; $options.="\r\n<option value ='{$nt['codes']}'> {$nt['codes']}</option>"; } $options .="\r\n</select>"; echo $options; what I'm trying to do is grab the selection from the drop down and display it as a table (the sql query would be extended should we manage to figure this one out I've tried Code: [Select] echo"<form name='LOCATIONS' action='".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."' target='iframe' method='post'>"; any ideas? I've got a HTML drop down box as similar to this: <select name="dropdown"> <option>Option 1</option> <option>Option 2</option> <option>Option 3</option> </select> If I run a mysql query and get a result of "Option 3", is there anyway using PHP to give Option 3 the selected value? Hi all, I am currently learning PHP and have the homework to produce a function that can delete a row in a MySQL database table by clicking on an item in a drop-down menu in a web page. The code I have produced up until now is this: <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html lang="de"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <title>E3_Artikel_Löschen</title> </head> <body> <form method = "GET"> <?php $anr=""; try { $pdo = new PDO ('mysql:dbname=bestelldatenbank;host=localhost;charset=utf8', 'root', ''); } catch (PDOException $error){ die ($error->getMessage()); } ?> <div> <p> <label for="artikel">Artikel: </label> <select id="artikel" name="artikel"> <?php $sqlSelect = "SELECT anr, name FROM artikel ORDER BY anr ASC"; foreach ($pdo->query($sqlSelect) as $row) { echo "<option value=$row[0]>$row[0] | $row[1]</option>\n"; $anr = $row[0]; } ?> </select> <input type = "submit" value = "Delete row" /> </p> </div> <?php function artLoeschen($anr) { echo "Function called $anr"; if(isset($_GET[$anr])) { $anr = $_GET[$anr]; $sqlDelete = $pdo->query("DELETE FROM artikel WHERE anr = :anr"); if ($stmt = $pdo->prepare($sqlDelete)) { $stmt->bindParam(':anr', $anr); $stmt->execute(); } echo "<h2><b>Artikel gelöscht!</b></h2>"; } } ?> </form> </body> </html> So, I have observed the following when I run the script in a browser: 1. The HTML works as expected and I get a drop-down list with the article number and description of each item in the affected table. 2. I can click on an item in the list and it populates the top item in the drop-down list. 3. When I click delete row, the selected item is not deleted. 4. There are no error messages returned but the function is not executed (at least not as I would like to expect).
I have obviously missed something or made a mistake in my code. I would be very grateful for any help...this is driving me mad! :) Regards, Kevin I am trying to update a mysql table called AvItems with the value 'Torso' in the Equip "section?" I have been through the forums and cannot see anything to match. I dont mind if the page looses the onsubmit() and has a button instead. Though I would like to update the database and link back to the same page: There is a display that shows the item that is currently equiped, I have put this in to show it works, or doesn't as the case may be. Hope I got the code /code right this time. many thanks in advance Andy Curtis Code: [Select] create table Items( ItemID integer unsigned auto_increment primary key, ItemName varchar(20) not null, Type varchar(10), UsedOn varchar(10), ); create table AvItems( AvItemID integer unsigned auto_increment primary key, AvID integer unsigned, ItemID integer unsigned, Equip varchar(8)); <?php $username="root"; $password="MyPassword"; $database="MyDataBase"; $AvName = "AndyJCurtis"; mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password); @mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database"); $AvAccR = mysql_query( " SELECT AvID FROM AvAcc WHERE AvName = '$AvName' " ); $AvID = mysql_result($AvAccR, 0, 'AvID'); /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// $Torso = mysql_query(" select ItemName from AvItems, Items where AvItems.itemID = Items.itemID AND AvItems.AvID = '$AvID' AND UsedON = 'Body' "); $TorsoE = mysql_query(" select ItemName from AvItems, Items where AvItems.itemID = Items.itemID AND AvItems.AvID = '$AvID' And UsedON = 'Body' AND Equip = 'Body' "); if(mysql_num_rows($TorsoE) != 0) { $TorsoItem = mysql_result($TorsoE ,0,"ItemName"); //mysql_close(); ?> <title></title> <head></head> <body> <form action="http://localhost/CI/Equip2.php" method="post"> <table border=1> <tbody> <tr> <td>Torso<BR> <?PHP echo "$TorsoItem <BR>"; ?> <select name="Torso" onchange="submit();" value =" Update"> <?PHP while($TorsoRow = mysql_fetch_array($Torso)) { echo "<option value=\"".$TorsoRow['ItemName']."\">".$TorsoRow['ItemName']."\n </option>"; } ?> </select> </td> </tr> //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// <?php if($_POST['Torso'] == 'Update') { mysql_query("update AvItems set Equip = '' where Equip='Torso'") or die("cant update unequip"); mysql_query("update AvItems set Equip = 'Torso' where ItemID='{$_POST['ItemName']}'") or die("cant update equip"); } ?> /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// </tbody> </table> </.form> </body> </html> Alright so I created a MySQL database that has 5 tables each named a brand of a dirt bike. In each table their are 2 fields, one INDEX_ID and MODELS. Under that for rows I have every model bike named. A quick question before I get onto what I want to do: Can data be added underneath the rows? For example, users will be able to submit information about each bike model. If each bike model is a row, can there be a category past that row or do I need to make each field a model name and just have a ton of fields and have the rows be the information users submit. To make it easier to understand I'll post the SQL code for the brand Honda: CREATE TABLE `Honda` ( `INDEX_ID` int(3) NOT NULL auto_increment, `MODELS` varchar(20) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`INDEX_ID`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COLLATE=latin1_general_ci AUTO_INCREMENT=23 ; -- -- Dumping data for table `Honda` -- INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(1, 'CR85'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(2, 'CR125'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(3, 'CR250'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(4, 'CRF100'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(5, 'CRF150'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(6, 'CRF230'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(7, 'CRF250X'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(8, 'CRF250R'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(9, 'CRF450X'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(10, 'CRF450R'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(11, 'CRF50'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(12, 'CRF70'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(13, 'CRF80'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(14, 'XR650'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(15, 'CR500'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(16, 'XR100'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(17, 'XR200'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(18, 'XR250'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(19, 'XR400'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(20, 'XR50'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(21, 'XR70'); INSERT INTO `Honda` VALUES(22, 'XR80'); Anyway I still need to figure out how to have this under a form that a user can use to select the bike they want to submit information about. A code like this perhaps?: <? $connection = mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass"); $fields = mysql_list_fields("dbname", "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>"; ?> Thanks. I am trying to insert a date into a mySQL table from html drop downs with php. Right now when I enter the date it goes into the database as 0000-00-00. Can anybody see why it might be doing this?

The value is being generated as supposed to based on value like: value="1", value="2" etc.. for the select options for each city name. So the values are there...

Any ideas for a workaround to get this value passing as normal? if (isset($_POST['addPosting'])) { $query = "INSERT INTO Postings (id, city_id, title, description) VALUES ('','$row[id]','$_POST[title]','$_POST[description]')"; I am working on a project that uses a drop down list to chose the category when inserting new data into the database. What I want to do now is make the drop down list default to the chosen category on the list records page and the update page. I have read several tutorials, but they all say that I have to list the options and then select the default. But since it is possible to add and remove categories, this approch won't work. I need the code to chose the correct category on the fly. There are two tables, one that has the category ID and category name. The second table has the data and the catid which is referenced to the category id in the first table. Code: [Select] -- -- Table structure for table `categories` -- DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `categories`; CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `categories` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `categories` varchar(37) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=40 ; -- -------------------------------------------------------- -- -- Table structure for table `links` -- DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `links`; CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `links` ( `id` int(4) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `catid` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `url` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `content` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', PRIMARY KEY (`id`), KEY `catid` (`catid`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=35 ; Then is the list records file, I have Code: [Select] <?php include ("db.php"); include ("menu.php"); $result = mysql_query("SELECT categories FROM categories") or die(mysql_error()); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $categories=$row["categories"]; $options.= '<option value="'.$row['categories'].'">'.$row['categories'].'</option>'; }; $id = $_GET['id']; $query="SELECT * FROM links ORDER BY catid ASC"; $result=mysql_query($query); ?> <table width="65%" align="center" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td> <table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td colspan="7"><strong>List data from mysql </strong> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><strong>Category ID</strong></td> <td align="center"><strong>Category ID</strong></td> <td align="center"><strong>Name</strong></td> <td align="center"><strong>URL</strong></td> <td align="center"><strong>Content</strong></td> <td align="center"><strong>Update</strong></td> <td align="center"><strong>Delete</strong></td> </tr> <?php while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result)){ ?> <tr> <td> <SELECT NAME=catid> <OPTION>Categories</OPTION> <?php echo $options; ?> </SELECT> </td> <td><? echo $rows['catid']; ?></td> <td><? echo $rows['name']; ?></td> <td><a href="<? echo $rows['url']; ?>"><? echo $rows['url']; ?></a></td> <td><? echo $rows['content']; ?></td> <td align="center"><a href="update.php?id=<? echo $rows['id']; ?>">update</a></td> <td align="center"><a href="delete.php?id=<? echo $rows['id']; ?>">delete</a></td> </tr> <?php } ?> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <?php mysql_close(); ?> So, how do I get this code Code: [Select] $result = mysql_query("SELECT categories FROM categories") or die(mysql_error()); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $categories=$row["categories"]; $options.= '<option value="'.$row['categories'].'">'.$row['categories'].'</option>'; }; <SELECT NAME=catid> <OPTION>Categories</OPTION> <?php echo $options; ?> </SELECT> to give me an output that will be something like if catid exactly matches categories.id echo categories.categorie ??? so far everything I have done produces either a default category of the last category, the catid (which is a number), all of the categories (logical since catid will always be = id, or nothing. How do I get just the category name? I will keep reading and try to figure this out, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance |
