Similar TutorialsHi All, I have 2 tables: one CarMake - CarMakeID - CarMakeDesc two CarModel - CarModelID - CarModelMake - CarModelDesc Depending on what the user selects in the first dropdown (carmake) the possible selection in the second dropdown (model) needs to be limited to only the models from the selected carmake. in the second table (Carmodel : the 'CarModelMake' = CarMakeID, to identify the make) How do I limit the dropdown 'CarModel' based on the selected CarMake in the first dropdown. link : http://98.131.37.90/postCar.php code : -- -- -- Code: [Select] <label> <select name="carmake" id="CarMake" class="validate[required]" style="width: 200px;"> <option value="">Select CAR MAKE...</option> <?php while($obj_queryCarMake = mysql_fetch_object($result_queryCarMake)) { ?> <option value="<?php echo $obj_queryCarMake->CarMakeID;?>" <?php if($obj_queryCarMake->CarMakeID == $CarAdCarMake) { echo 'selected="selected"'; } ?> > <?php echo $obj_queryCarMake->CarMakeDesc;?></option> <?php } ?> </select> </label> <label> <select name="carmodel" id="CarModel" class="validate[required]" style="width: 200px;"> <option value="">Select MODEL...</option> <?php while($obj_queryCarModel = mysql_fetch_object($result_queryCarModel)) { ?> <option value="<?php echo $obj_queryCarModel->CarModelID;?>" <?php if($obj_queryCarModel->CarmodelID == $CarAdCarModel) { echo 'selected="selected"'; } ?> > <?php echo $obj_queryCarModel->CarModelDesc;?></option> <?php } ?> </select> </label> I'm a novice.. and appreciates all the help ! I am creating a form that will allow the user to select the make of vehicle "FORD" for example. If that make of vehicle is selected among different makes of vehicles, then another box will appear, with all the models for that particular model "Fiesta" for example. What type of code accomplishes this setup in my web page? I do not want to list 500 models in one drop down list, but just those for each make in the first drop down list. Thanks much! If I have a drop-down list... Code: [Select] <select name="attendees"> <option value="">--</option> <option value="1">1</option> <option value="2">2</option> <option value="3">3</option> <option value="4">4</option> </select> Where does the value that the user selects get stored? Does it get stored in $_POST by default (if a Form is used)? What variable would hold the selected value? Debbie hello fellas, need some help please if possible. i have created a date of birth section in my form where the user selects his/her date of birth from the dropdown menu. they would first select the day then month then year of their birthday. how would i setup the database to get this to work? i currently have: Code: [Select] day VARCHAR( 2 ) NOT NULL , month VARCHAR( 4 ) NOT NULL , year VARCHAR( 4 ) NOT NULL , is this correct? many thanks I am trying to make a Web Form for people to fill out that has two drop down menus where i want the first drop down menu's selection changes the values of the selections in the second drop down. ((IE. If the first drop down value is "product 01" then the second drop down shows values "Red, Green, Blue" while if the first drop down value is "product 02" then the second drop down shows values "Yellow, Green")) Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in Advance. Hello, i want to reproduce a content switcher based on drop-down menu (example: http://www.infocercetare.ro/index.php) anyone can help me with the logic of the function the rest i think i can handle. best regards This topic has been moved to Ajax Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=341998.0 Need some help to define the php logic to echo back a selection if/when chosen from the drop down menu. Note: I'm using just a small subset of the USA states to show setup and what I'm trying to accomplish - it will be the same for all the other drop down menus as well.... Here's the example code: Code: [Select] <form name="form1" method="post" action="<?php $_SERVER[PHP_SELF]; ?>"> <select name="address_state" id="address_state" tabindex="25"> <option value="" selected> - Select State -</option> <option value="AK">Alaska</option> <option value="AL">Alabama</option> <option value="AR">Arkansas</option> <option value="AZ">Arizona</option> <option value="CA">California</option> <option value="CO">Colorado</option> <option value="CT">Connecticut</option> <option value="DC">District of Columbia</option> </select> <input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit" tabindex="900" id="submit" /> </form> Issue: I have validation (logic) define to check all the (other) text, radio, and check boxes of the form and that all works great! However, any time one of those particular fields fail validation, any selected "drop down" item is lost - it defaults back to no selection and the user has to make all drop down menu selections again. Can someone provide method to echo back - in php being the page reloads to itself - the drop down selection as in the example above? Thanks! My problem is when the entries in the form are validated and some fields with incorrect entries are found the fields filled out stay on the re-load of the form, all of them except the US States drop down menu which reverts back to Alabama every time. I would like to see that the user selection stays in place even after a re-load of the form. and with my limited experience I am having an issue trying to figure this out for a school project. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, like what variables to create/call on and where exactly I insert this code. Much appreciated. here is the display code: <?php /* Program name: exercise_4_form.inc * Description: Defines a form that collects a user's * name and mailing address. */ $rows = array( "first_name" => "First Name (optional)", "last_name" => "Last Name", "phone" => "Phone Number", "city" => "City", "state" => "State", "address" => "Address", "zip_code" => "ZIP Code", "e_mail" => "E-Mail"); $states_list = array('AL'=>"Alabama",'AK'=>"Alaska",'AZ'=>"Arizona", 'AR'=>"Arkansas",'CA'=>"California",'CO'=>"Colorado",'CT'=>"Connecticut", 'DE'=>"Delaware",'DC'=>"District Of Columbia",'FL'=>"Florida",'GA'=>"Georgia", 'HI'=>"Hawaii",'ID'=>"Idaho",'IL'=>"Illinois", 'IN'=>"Indiana", 'IA'=>"Iowa", 'KS'=>"Kansas",'KY'=>"Kentucky",'LA'=>"Louisiana",'ME'=>"Maine", 'MD'=>"Maryland", 'MA'=>"Massachusetts",'MI'=>"Michigan",'MN'=>"Minnesota", 'MS'=>"Mississippi",'MO'=>"Missouri",'MT'=>"Montana",'NE'=>"Nebraska", 'NV'=>"Nevada",'NH'=>"New Hampshire",'NJ'=>"New Jersey",'NM'=>"New Mexico", 'NY'=>"New York",'NC'=>"North Carolina",'ND'=>"North Dakota",'OH'=>"Ohio", 'OK'=>"Oklahoma", 'OR'=>"Oregon",'PA'=>"Pennsylvania",'RI'=>"Rhode Island", 'SC'=>"South Carolina",'SD'=>"South Dakota",'TN'=>"Tennessee",'TX'=>"Texas", 'UT'=>"Utah",'VT'=>"Vermont",'VA'=>"Virginia",'WA'=>"Washington",'WV'=>"West Virginia", 'WI'=>"Wisconsin",'WY'=>"Wyoming"); $submit = "Submit mailing information"; ?> <html> <head> <style type='text/css'> <!-- body { background: #42413C; color: #000; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 90%; } form { margin: 1em 2 2 2; padding: 1; width: 1100px; margin-left: 35%; } .field {padding-bottom: 1em; } label { font-weight: bold; float: left; width: 15%; margin-right: 1em; text-align: right; background-color: #9F6; padding-right: 5px; } select {margin-bottom: 1em;} #submit { margin-left: 15%; } h3 { width: 500px; margin-left: 35%; } --> </style> </head> <body> <h3>Please enter your mailing information below:</h3> <?php /* loop that displays the form */ echo "<form action='$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]' method='POST'>"; foreach($rows as $field => $label) if($field == "state") { echo "<label for='$field'>$label</label> <select id='$field' name='$field'>\n"; foreach ( $states_list as $abbr => $sname ) { echo "<option value='$abbr'>$sname</option>\n"; } echo "</select>\n"; } else { echo "<div class='field'><label for='$field'>$label</label> <input id='$field' name='$field' type='text' value='".@$$field."' size='25%' maxlength='65' /></div>\n"; } echo "<div id='submit'> <input type='hidden' name='submitted' value='yes'> <input type='submit' value='$submit'></div>"; ?> </form> </body> </html>Here is the Logic on the combined php file that displays and has the statements on it for the form: <?php /* Program name: exercise_4_form_verifications.php * Description: Program checks all the form fields for * blank fields and verifies them */ if(isset($_POST['submitted']) and $_POST['submitted'] == "yes") { foreach($_POST as $field => $value) { if(empty($value)) { if($field != "first_name") { $blank_array[] = $field; } } else { $good_data[$field] = strip_tags(trim($value)); } } if(@sizeof($blank_array) > 0) { $message = "<p style='color: black; margin-bottom: 0;font-weight: bold; margin-left: 35%'> You didn't fill in one or more required fields.

I am very new to PHP, and I am not sure where to look or what I'm looking for in my current assignment. My task is to take in two numbers between 0-100. Once I take in that number, it should state beside it "The __ was accepted." The program should not accept any numbers greater than 100 or any characters. Once I do this, I must take a second number and do a similar thing. Finally, I must have a statement show up at the bottom stating which number is greater. Essentially, I need help in determining what I should use to place parameters, and how I can keep the program from echo ing any statement until input has been taken and tested for parameters. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated! I am trying to allow the user to update a variable he chooses by radio buttons, which they will then input text into a box, and submit, to change some attributes. I really need some help here. It works just fine until I add the second layer of variables on top of it, and I can't find the answer to this question anywhere. <?PHP require('connect.php'); ?> <form action ='' method='post'> <select name="id"> <?php $extract = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM cars"); while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($extract)){ $id = $row['id']; $make= $row['make']; $model= $row['model']; $year= $row['year']; $color= $row['color']; echo "<option value=$id>$color $year $make $model</option> ";}?> </select> Which attribute would you like to change?<br /> <input type="radio" name="getchanged" value="make"/>Make<br /> <input type="radio" name="getchanged" value="model"/>Model<br /> <input type="radio" name="getchanged" value="year" />Year<br /> <input type="radio" name="getchanged" value="color" />Color<br /><br /> <br /><input type='text' value='' name='tochange'> <input type='submit' value='Change' name='submit'> </form> //This is where I need help... <?PHP if(isset($_POST['submit'])&&($_POST['tochange'])){ mysql_query(" UPDATE cars SET '$_POST[getchanged]'='$_POST[tochange]' where id = '$_POST[id]' ");}?> How can I prevent someone from making an ivalid selection in a form? Lets say I had a select dropdown box and someone saved the HTML source from the browser, changed an item in the list, and changed the action to point back to my server eg. action="testsite.com/index.php". Then they open the file and try to submit the form.
