hi all,i have a php form that i would like to populate from a drop down list,my problem is that i cant place the drop down list at the correct place.what i want is that where the franchisee is the input should be the drop down,please help....this is the code that i am using
Code: [Select] <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post"> <p>Add a Bus in the Bus table.</p> <p> Fleet Number:<br /> <input type="text" name="fleet_number" size="6" maxlength="10" value="" /> </p> <p> Registration Number:<br /> <input type="text" name="registration_number" size="10" maxlength="20" value="" /> </p> <p> Model:<br /> <input type="text" name="model" size="10" max length="15" value="" /> </p> <p> Franchisee :<br /> <input type="select" name="franchisee_id" size="10" max length="15" value="" /> <select name=dropdown_list> <?php while($row = oci_fetch_array($stid)) { echo "<option value='".$row['FRANCHISEE_NAME']."'>"; echo $row['FRANCHISEE_NAME']; echo "</option> "; } ?> </select> </p> <p> <input type="Submit" name="submit" value="Submit !" /> </p> </form> Similar TutorialsHey Guys, I know it may seem pretty simple, but im having trouble populating a drop down list. Here is my code at the moment, but what it's doing is displaying the names all in one value, where it should be in separate select values. *Note that i have only done it to the first one. See attachment. 'AntonMatt' are next to each other, they should be separate select values. Code: [Select] <? $id = $_GET['id']; $selectplayers="SELECT * FROM players WHERE club='$club' AND team='$team'"; $player=mysql_query($selectplayers); ?> <table class='lineups' width="560" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td colspan="2">Starting Lineup</td> <td colspan="2">On the Bench</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="119"> </td> <td width="160"> </td> <td width="69"> </td> <td width="160"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Prop</td> <td><select name="secondary" style="width: 150px"> <option value='' selected="selected"><? while($rowplayer = mysql_fetch_array($player)) { echo $rowplayer['fname']; } ?></option> </select></td> <td>16.</td> <td><select name="secondary16" style="width: 150px"> <option value='' selected="selected">Secondary Position</option> </select></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding-top: 8px;">Hooker</td> <td style="padding-top: 8px;"><select name="secondary2" style="width: 150px"> <option value='' selected="selected">Secondary Position</option> </select></td> <td style="padding-top: 8px;">17.</td> <td style="padding-top: 8px;"><select name="secondary17" style="width: 150px"> <option value='' selected="selected">Secondary Position</option> </select></td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> Hello forum,
So I've been developing an app mostly in PHP, but am rather afraid of JS. Hope to fix that.
I have an AJAX dropdown using JQuery to search locations. It works great. However, I want to make it similar to what is seen on this site:
http://placefinder.com/
As you can see, the dropdown, when clicked populates a box. Then the user submits the form and the data is used in the application.
I have no clue how to make the form populate with data from the DB (I'm using mySQL) when clicked. So far, I've only been able to make it clickable as a URL (not what I want, obvioiusly!)
Is there a way to do this on a really small, simple script for starters? I'm certain their is, but don't even know where to begin.
Any help appreciated
I have a form with dropdown list that is populated with values from Sql Server table. Now i would like to use this selected item in SQL query. The results of this query should be shown in label or text field. So when a user selects item from dropdown menu, results from SQL query are shown at the same time. I have two dropdown list at the moment in my form. First one gets all values from a column in table in SQL Server. And the second one should get a value from the same table based on a selection in first dropdown list.
When i load ajax.php i get 2 error mesages: This is my code so far. I have tried to do it with this Ajax script. But i can only get first dropdown to work. The second dropdown(sub_machinery) does not show values, when first dropdown item is selected. The second dropdown should show values from databse table with this query( *$machineryID* is first dropdown selected item): SELECT MachineID FROM T013 WHERE Machinery=".$machineryID. Index.php

Hi freaks, I'm new to php first of all. I'm dynamically binding a dropdownlist with mysql database . After the user selects an item from it , I want to match that item with another table so as to populate another database. The code I'm using to populate dropdown: Code: [Select] <?php $con = mysql_connect("localhost","root",""); if(!$con) { die ('Can not connect to : '.mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("ims",$con); $result=mysql_query("select cat_id,cat_name from category"); echo "<select name=cat>"; while($nt=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "<option value=$nt[cat_id]> $nt[cat_name] </option>"; } echo "</select>"; mysql_close($con); ?> Now after the user selects any one of the item , I want to bind another dropdown on the same page using such query like $result=mysql_query("select subcategory.sc_id,subactegory.sc_name from subcategory,category where subcategory.sc_id=$nt[cat_id]"); Please anyone tell me the logic and code to do it. Also tell me do I need an intermediate page to post the 1st dropdown value and then continue with 2nd dropdown. I couldn't figure out the concept anyhow. Help on this will be highly appreiable . (Tell me if I'm not clear with my question) So I've been attempting to create a dropdown list that will post to mySQL. The problem I'm running into is the way I populate the dropdown I can't figure out how to return the selected option to mySQL. <form name="pentry" method="post" action="" action="pentry.php"> <input name="username" type="hidden" value="<?php echo "$username"?>"> Date of Practice:<input type="text" id="dates" name="practdate" datepicker="true" datepicker_format="YYYY-MM-DD" maxlength="100"><br> <?php $query="SELECT eoptions,id FROM sm_options"; /* You can add order by clause to the sql statement if the names are to be displayed in alphabetical order */ $result = mysql_query ($query); echo "<select name=eoptions value=''>Event Options</option>"; // printing the list box select command while($nt=mysql_fetch_array($result)){//Array or records stored in $nt echo "<option value=$nt[id]>$nt[eoptions]</option>"; /* Option values are added by looping through the array */ } echo "</select>";// Closing of list box mysql_close(); ?><br> Event:<input type="text" name="event" maxlength="100" value="<?php echo "test $output" ?>"><br> Session Time:<input type="text" name="practtime" id="practtime">min. <input type="button" value=" + " onClick="addmin(practtime);"> <input type="button" value=" - " onClick="submin(practtime);"><br> Practice Content:<input type="text" name="practnotes"><br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"><br> </form> I've been moving code around trying to solve the problem so its a bit messy. the line : echo $form['catcher_id'] gives me a dropdown list when i choose another item from the dropdown i want to do a few things but my code not working: $selected_catcher = $form['catcher_id']; foreach($selected_catcher as $val) { $catcher_name = $val->getName(); echo $catcher_name." ".$val->getId(); if ($catcher_name = "zed-catcher") { echo $form['service_code']->renderLabel(); echo $form['service_code']->renderError(); echo $form['service_code']; } } please help? thanks This topic has been moved to Ajax Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=351349.0 hey guys i can't seem to get my second list box to work? the first one is good it shows the brands but the second one does not show at all? i have 2 DB Brands and others products so in brands i have id and name .. second i have product_id-product_Nand Brand this is my query(select the brand then it list the products that are associated with the brand) <?php $Brand_N = $Product_N = null; //declare vars $conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "2", "2"); $db = mysql_select_db('2',$conn); if(isset($_POST["Brand_N"]) && is_numeric($_POST["Brand_N"])) { $Brand_N = $_POST["Brand_N"]; } if(isset($_POST["Product_N"]) && is_numeric($_POST["Product_N"])) { $Product_N = $_POST["Product_N"]; } ?> <script language="JavaScript"> function autoSubmit() { var formObject = document.forms['theForm']; formObject.submit(); } </script> <form name="theForm" method="post"> <select name="brand" onChange="autoSubmit();"> <option value="Brand">Brand</option> <?php $sql = "SELECT * FROM Brand"; $Brand = mysql_query($sql,$conn); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($Brand)) { echo ("<option value=\"$row[Brand_id]\" " .

Hello I am after some help with a concept to allow us to import some data into our database. I have a PDF which I have OCR'd and now have a word document... I then manually clean up the document to remove spurious characters, that part is fine. Now, the word document contains an unknown number of lines and an unknown number of records... and within those records an uknown number of fields... Here is an example of a single record: Mr G Aldred, 26/11/08, Canvardine Chance, Wolfies Dawn Tilley, KENINE SECRET DESTINY, d, c. Grey & White, KENINE SHADES OF THE NIGHT, d, c. Grey & White, KENINE SILENT WHISPER, b, c. Seal & White, KENINE SOFT KISSES, b, c. Grey & White, KENINE SPIRIT OF THE STORM, d, c. Seal & White KENINE STAR QUALITY, d, c. Seal & White And I could have multiple records like this, but with different number of names toward the end So, if I manually put some delimiting character instead of coma's , can I get PHP to read the WHOLE document in, split the document into records and then split those records into subfields to populate a form which I can then automatically submit to my database? Not sure if that is clear.... Thanks This topic has been moved to Ajax Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=316599.0 Hi i'm new to php.

Yet, the $options echo the catid and it corresponding category. How can I get the default option to echo BOTH the catid and category name while also listing all the other categories so that the records can be moved to a new category is needed? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Alright, so I have an xml file differences.xml that is being parsed in XML. This is what the xml looks like: <item code="lM" name="dog"> <cost>5000</cost> <Start>12/15/2010</Start> <End>01/13/2011</End> </item> <item code="lF" name="cat"> <cost>5000</cost> <Start>04/15/2010</Start> <End>04/23/2011</End> </item>[/ I want to have the item names (dog, cat) show in a dropdown menu so that I can select these items for editing before storing in my mysql database. This is the php code I have so far: <?PHP $xml = simplexml_load_file("differences.xml"); $object = $xml->xpath("//item"); echo '<SELECT name=object>'; foreach ($object['name'] as $key => $value) { echo '<OPTION value='.$value.'> '.$value; } echo '</select>'; ?> I do have a dropdown list but there are no values inside it (it is empty). Can anyone help me figure out why? I do have this code that does work which lists the items in plaintext (not in a dropdown) so hopefull this will help us out: <?PHP $xml = simplexml_load_file("differences.xml"); $object = $xml->xpath("//item"); $count = count($object); $i = 0; while($i < $count) { echo '<h1>'.$object[$i]['name'].'</h1>'; $i++; } ?> |
