PHP - Dropdown
I'm trying to have it shows the data from my array as each option will have a value of the user's id and the text for the option will be their name. As of right now it only shows the last person.
Code: [Select] <?php echo form_label('Recipient', 'recipient'); ?> <?php $data = array( 'name' => 'to', 'class' => 'required' ); <?php echo form_label('Recipient', 'recipient'); ?> <?php $data = array( 'name' => 'to', 'class' => 'required' ); $options = array(); foreach($users AS $user) { $options = array ( $user->user_id => $user->first_name.' '.$user->last_name ); } ?> <?php echo form_dropdown($data, $options); ?> Similar TutorialsI have a form with dropdown list that is populated with values from Sql Server table. Now i would like to use this selected item in SQL query. The results of this query should be shown in label or text field. So when a user selects item from dropdown menu, results from SQL query are shown at the same time. I have two dropdown list at the moment in my form. First one gets all values from a column in table in SQL Server. And the second one should get a value from the same table based on a selection in first dropdown list.
When i load ajax.php i get 2 error mesages: This is my code so far. I have tried to do it with this Ajax script. But i can only get first dropdown to work. The second dropdown(sub_machinery) does not show values, when first dropdown item is selected. The second dropdown should show values from databse table with this query( *$machineryID* is first dropdown selected item): SELECT MachineID FROM T013 WHERE Machinery=".$machineryID.

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) I am not a developer but I can modify code to work for me. The following code works on my test machine (Windows 10, IIS, PHP 7.4) but doesn't work on my website (cPanel, Some version of Linux, PHP 7.4). The two dropdowns are for State and City. You are supposed to be able to select the state and then select a city from that state then bring up a report for craft breweries in the city. When selecting State from the first dropdown, the page refreshes, the URL is correct with the reports.php?cat=<STATE> so $cat is being set, but the first dropdown no longer has the state selected and the second dropdown is populated with All cities and not just one ones from the selected state. Any ides why this is working fine on one machine and not the other? Selected code from reports.php
<?php
?>
/////// for second drop down list we will check if State is selected else we will display all the cities/////
echo "<form method=post action='brewerylistbycity.php'>";
}
////////// Starting of second drop downlist /////////
//// End Form /////
Hi, I have a dropdown box, and I want it so that if dropdownbox.value='selected:' then show error message. The checkbox is dynamically populated. Pleaee Advise, - stuart Hi, I'm wondering how i would go about making a drop down menu in php to insert the option into users > Maint of my database, if anyone has any tutorials or examples it would be great, Thanks a lot. I currently have a web page which the user selects the value from the drop menu. I then want that value to go into another form in the same page inside a hidden field. Which will then be submitted to the processing php. The second option is the user selects the drop menu then the processing php would have to grab the value without a submit button because I am using a save button on the same page in the other form. Any help Hi all. I kinda need some from a more advanced PHP expert. I have a table that displays time slots that are available to be booked. As you can see I have a table with two columns, The 1st column displays the times and the 2nd column has a link that says 'Available'. I want to be able to put all this in a select dropdown box to save space, but how can I do this?

I want it to get the info from the database so that the option that is saved in the database will be new default when the page is loaded. If I don't change it to the previous info it will update the database with the default option rather then the actual option. If I use this code: $values = range(0, 10); echo "<select name=\"my_field\">\n"; foreach($values as $v) { echo "<option value=\"$v\">$v</option>\n"; }echo "</select>\n"; to generate a dropdown, it will offer options from 1 thru 10. Is there any way to make them increment by .50 (ie: 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, etc.? Hi, I need to develop a code that allows me to choose how I want to see a list of data from the database. For example, I could choose to see "the most recent first" or "most recent last". I have this example on how work the "onChange" event: <html> <head> <title>Select Example</title> <script> function onSelectChange(){ var dropdown = document.getElementById("developer"); var index = dropdown.selectedIndex; var ddVal = dropdown.options[index].value; var ddText = dropdown.options[index].text; if(ddVal != 0) { output = "You Selected " + ddText; } document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = output; } </script> </head> <body> <h3>Developers</h3> <select id="developer" onChange="onSelectChange();"> <option value="0">the most recent first</option> <option value="1">the most recent flast</option> </select> <br / <div id="output"></div> </body> </html> Now I need to apply this to a SELECT from the database that will use this method to list data. I have tried to google it, but I can't find any example. Can someone give me a clue on how to find the way of doing this? Best Regards, Hi guys. I am having a hard time finding a solution for this, is it possible to get not the value of a dropdown (oh what's it called??? ) but what is in between of the <option> tag?like, Code: [Select] <select name="catID"> <option value=$row['c_id']>$row['c_name']</option> and save it to the database??cuz I'm using a dynamic dropdown which bases the content of another dropdown by the id of the previous. And so, if i save it to the database, instead of for example "BSA" is saved, the id of "BSA" which is "1" is saved..any ideas guys? I am currently learning Zend/PHP on the fly. I've gone from 0 to 40 in about 2 months, as far as savviness is concerned. I am working on a form that I want to display array information of two things (shortname and fullname) in a drop-down list. I am thinking I need to do some sort of concatenation to achieve this, or would I do an array within an array? The array is defined in a value object and that draws the id, shortname and fullname. Shortname is the defined label in that file. In the form page, i have the LO ['full_name'] => LO ['label']... this inputs the right information into the database, but shows the full name. I want the drop-down to show it as following: Shortname|Fullname. This will be used in a couple of places once I get on the right track on how to accomplish this. I would be accepting of any help, as well as any resourced that could answer my question and help me finish this form. Cheers, ESK Hello, I am searching to find an answer to my question but without success. I have a HTML dropdown list like this: <select name="ports"> <option value="10">1/1/1/0/shdsl</option> <option value="12">1/1/2/0/shdsl</option> <option value="14">1/1/3/0/shdsl</option> <option value="16">1/1/4/0/shdsl</option> <option value="18">1/1/5/0/shdsl</option> <option value="20">1/1/6/0/shdsl</option> <option value="22">1/1/7/0/shdsl</option> <option value="24">1/1/8/0/shdsl</option> <option value="26">1/1/9/0/shdsl</option> <option value="28">1/1/10/0/shdsl</option> <option value="30">1/1/11/0/shdsl</option> <option value="32">1/1/12/0/shdsl</option> <option value="34">1/1/13/0/shdsl</option> <option value="36">1/1/14/0/shdsl</option> <option value="38">1/1/15/0/shdsl</option> <option value="40">1/1/16/0/shdsl</option> <option value="42">1/1/17/0/shdsl</option> <option value="44">1/1/18/0/shdsl</option> <option value="46">1/1/19/0/shdsl</option> <option value="48">1/1/20/0/shdsl</option> <option value="50">1/1/21/0/shdsl</option> <option value="52">1/1/22/0/shdsl</option> <option value="54">1/1/23/0/shdsl</option> <option value="56">1/1/24/0/shdsl</option> </select> All I want to do is to get the value & the text (e.g 56 & "1/1/24/0/shdsl"). I get the value (say 56) with: $_POST['ports'] Could you please help me get the text? Hi i have a online/offline script that works great no issues at all. In order to change the html, php file to display when offline I need to point it to that file via input field. What i would like is to change the input filed and have a dropdown that list all the folders and subfolders within the the directory where all the templates are located. I have found a php snippet on the forum that does exactly what i want. The issue is now is to remove the input filed in the script and insert the snippet found here and thats where the issue comes. I'm hoping some guru here can easily help me out . please see below for the code online/offline code ( input filed i would like to replace with dropdown selector <input type="text" name="txttemplate" value="%s" id="txttemplate" />) Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); $page_offline = TRUE; $page_offline_title = " "; $page_offline_message = " Offline"; $admin_ip = "1.1.1.1"; $admin_password = "*****************"; $page_offline_template = "template/path/index.php"; $page_offline_foradmin = TRUE; ini_set("display_errors", "0"); error_reporting(E_COMPILE_ERROR|E_ERROR|E_CORE_ERROR); $page = strstr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], "off.php") ?

I am making code for a supply order for a website I am making for tafe and I filled in the first drop down box with the supplier names and now I want a second drop down box of all the products that that supplier is supplying us. I cannot for the life of me work out how to do this and I have no idea what to search to get this. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I will show you the code for my first dropdown box. Code: [Select] <?php $db_host = "localhost"; $db_username = "root"; $db_password = ""; $db_name = "ocs"; @mysql_connect("$db_host","$db_username","$db_password") or die("Could not connect to MySQL"); @mysql_select_db("$db_name") or die("Cannot find database"); $query = "SELECT ProductID FROM products"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); $dropdown = "<select name='products'>"; while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $dropdown .= "\r\n<option value='{$row['ProductID']}'>{$row['ProductID']}</option>"; } $dropdown .= "\r\n</select>"; echo $dropdown; ?> Thanks a lot -Teammuffin Okay I am trying to list out years in a dropdown box. It should show say how many years old. I want to start from 16 though and stop at 100. So the year has to be 1995 for 16 but then I would have to change the code every year. so I was wondering how do I modify this code to do what I explained? Code: [Select] <?php $start_year = ($start_year) ? $start_year - 1 : date('Y') - 100; $end_year = ($end_year) ? $end_year : date('Y'); for ($i = $end_year; $i > $start_year; $i -= 1) { $date=date(Y); $age = $i - $date; echo '<option value="'.$i.'">'.$age.'</option>'; } ?> Thanks in advanced Hi, I'm having a tough time combining two separate pieces of code. To summarise, I have an entire folder hierachy which I want to access via a group of dropdown boxes, so there is a box for months, a box for the dates and a box for the year.

'">' . $c_employee . ' </option>'; } } ?> <form> <select name="c_employee"> <option value="">Select a person:</option> <?php echo $canvass_name; ?> </select> </form> I was wondering if there's a way I can write a code to GET value I select from the dynamic dropdown and use it to write a select query.
