Good day, I new to PHP I am having problems with a two dropdowns on a form, can someone please tell me where I'm going wrong. [attachment deleted by admin] I have two drop down menus in a table side by side being populated exactly the same from a msql database. The first menu populates fine but the second one is blank. They are both supposed to be identical, the same info from the same table so I assume that's my problem. I tried moving the while loop so it encapsulates both drop downs but then it messes up the table structure. I tried changing the name of some of the variables by adding "2" on the end & that didn't work either. Is it because once a while loop is executed it can't be used again on the same instance? Heres my code so far: <tr> <td > <select name="wall_type" size="1" style="width: 175px;" > <?php while ($walls_row=mysql_fetch_array($result_walls)) { $type_name=$walls_row["type"]; $type_id=$walls_row["id"]; ?> <option value="<?php echo $type_id; ?>"><?php echo $type_name; ?> </option> <?php } ?> </select> </td> <td > <select name="wall_type2" size="1" style="width: 175px;"> <?php while ($walls_row2=mysql_fetch_array($result_walls)) { $type_name2=$walls_row2["type"]; $type_id2=$walls_row2["id"]; ?> <option value="<?php echo $type_id2; ?>"><?php echo $type_name2; ?> </option> <?php } ?> </select> </td> </tr> 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? Hello, I have a drop down box that filters my table data by City and displays the results. It works! Now I am trying to add a second drop down menu to filter by name. When name is selected AND city is selected, the display should be the same names that live in the same city. Can anyone ties these 2 drop downs together for me? Here is my table: Code: [Select] CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `data` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `from_date` date NOT NULL, `to_date` date NOT NULL, `full_name` varchar(250) NOT NULL, `email` varchar(250) NOT NULL, `city` varchar(250) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) And here is the html and PHP in one file: Code: [Select] <?php error_reporting(0); include("config.php"); ?> <!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>MySQL table search</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.0/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.16/jquery-ui.min.js"></script> <link href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/> <style> BODY, TD { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; } </style> </head> <body> <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="search.php"> <label>Name</label> <select name="name"> <option value="">--</option> <?php $sql = "SELECT * FROM ".$SETTINGS["data_table"]."

Right now my search is working perfectly fine. It searches by the keywords that people enter in and returns the results. My only problem is that after getting those results, I want people to be able to filter those results using dropdown boxes. So if someone searches by the keyword artwork, it will pull up all of my portfolio images that have artwork as a keyword. Now if they want to filter those results by: Color: Green, Type: Painting and Size: Large then they can use the dropdown boxes that will be populated with that information based off of their search term. I have no idea on how to even get started on something like this, so I would really appreciate all of the help I can get. Thanks in advance! Hello, any help would be greatly appreciated. I have two dropdowns with 2 options in each. Customer picks one option from each dropdown and the form gets emailed to addresses from the two selections. The code below gives and error. My form: <form method="POST" action="quote.php" onsubmit="return checkform(this)"> <input type="hidden" name="agent" value="recipient_1,recipient_2"> <input type="hidden" name="office" value="recipient_3,recipient_4"> <select name="agent" id="agent"> <option value="recipient_1">Agent1 </option> <option value="recipient_2">Agent2 </option> </select> <select name="office" id="office"> <option value="recipient_3">Location1 </option> <option value="recipient_4">Location2 </option> </select> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"> </form> quote.php is below: $recipients = array( 'recipient_1' => 'email_1@yahoo.com', 'recipient_2' => 'email_2@yahoo.com', 'recipient_3' => 'email_3@yahoo.com', 'recipient_4' => 'email_4@yahoo.com', ); $exploded_recipients = explode(",",$_REQUEST['agent']); foreach($exploded_recipients as $value) { $my_email = $recipients[$value]; $success = mail($my_email, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>"); } Thanks in advance for starters, i am a complete beginner at PHP, so i know almost nothing.
so, the basic outline is that i am required to create a table with 2 columns, and use PHP where i can
so the first set of code lays down the table and the ability to type in text of "name" and "surname". ----i think this "input" is HTML, yes?? is there a way to enter it as PHP?
<table border=\"2\"> <tr><th><b>Requirements</b></th><th><b>Selections</b></th></tr> <tr><td>Name</td><td><input type="text" name="name"/></td></tr> <tr><td>Surname</td><td><input type="text" name="surname"/></td></tr>so, for this next section, adding on is the part for "age". i want this to appear as a dropdown selection. i've written PHP where possible, however this does not work when opening the file in a browser. it simply leaves a blank dropdown menu with no options. ???? <tr><td>Age</td><td><select> <?php for ($num=11; $num<=22; $num++){ echo '<option>' .$num. '</option>'; } ?> </select>lastly, i have the part for "activity choice". this again i believe i wrote the radio buttons in HTML??? am i able to write this as PHP???? <tr><td>Activity Choice</td><td><input type="radio" name="activityChoice" value "music"/> Music ($30.00)<br> <input type="radio" name="activityChoice" value "swimming"/> Swimming ($25.50)<br> <input type="radio" name="activityChoice" value "tennis"/> Tennis ($20.00)<br> <input type="radio" name="activityChoice" value "basketball"/> Basketball ($15.50)<br> <input type="radio" name="activityChoice" value "netball"/> Netball ($15.50)<br> <input type="radio" name="activityChoice" value "dance"/> Dance ($10.50)<br> <input type="radio" name="activityChoice" value "communityService"/> Community Service (No Charge)</td></tr> Ok so i want to grab an id from the checkbox then grab the option drop down associated with that check box and update a mysql row here is my code so far any help is awesome help taaaanks guys <?php mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "root") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("db1") or die(mysql_error()); $query = "SELECT * FROM tickets ORDER BY id DESC"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { print "<input name='delete[]' value='{$row['id']}' type='checkbox'>"; mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "root") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("db1") or die(mysql_error()); $query2 = "SELECT * FROM admin"; $result2 = mysql_query($query2) or die(mysql_error()); print "<form name='namestoupdate' method='post' action='update.php'>\n"; print '<select>'; while($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2)) { if ($row2['priv']==prov){print '<option value="'.$row2['user'].'" name="prov['.$i++.']">'.$row2['user'].'</option>';} } print '</select>'; print "<input type='submit' value='submit' />"; print "</form>"; } ?> Visual aid |
