PHP - Drop-down Menus Not Posting Into Database, Yet Rest Of Form Is
Ok, I have one database three tables.
Table 1 is ncmr the main table where everything is to be entered. Table 2 is companies, where all the companies in pull down menu 1 is located. Table 3 is fabricators, where all the people who have had hands on the product are residing. I want the selected choices of table 2 and 3 to be inputed into table 1. I know this has to be possible, but I don't know how. I thought I wrote the code correctly, but it seems not. Can someone review my code and show me where my mistake is? Here is the page: http://kaboomlabs.com/PDI/post2.php Thanks.

I need to only update the drop down menus that have been selected? but am unsure how I do it? This is the code from the page, sorry if its a mess but I am not that experienced at the moment. This is a snippet of one of the drop down menus Code: [Select] <tr> <td class="heading">Current Status</td> <td><?php echo $statusdescrip ['status_description']; ?> <select name="status_id" > <?php $status_set = findstatus(); $statuslist = mysql_fetch_assoc ($status_set); ?> <?php do { ?> <option value="<?php echo $statuslist ['status_id']; ?>" ><?php echo $statuslist ['status_description']; ?></option> <?php } while ($statuslist = mysql_fetch_assoc ($status_set)); ?></select> <span class="compuls">*</span></td> </tr> Hi everyone, First off thank you very kindly to anyone who can provide some enlightenment to this total php/mysql newb. I am creating my first database and while I have been able to connect to the database within my php script (or so I believe), the form data does not appear to be actually getting sent. I have development experience in other languages but this is completely new to me so if I've missed something that appears painfully obvious like a parse error of some sort, I do apologize. I am creating a website using Godaddy as the hosting account, and attempting to connect to the mysql database at the following URL (maybe this is where I'm going wrong): "pnmailinglist.db.4662743.hostedresource.com" Below is my very simple code: <?php //Verify successful connection to database. $connect = mysql_connect("pnmailinglist.db.4662743.hostedresource.com", "*********", "*********"); if(!$connect) {die("Could not connect!"); } //Initialize variables with form data. $firstname = $_POST['FirstName']; $lastname = $_POST['LastName']; $email = $_POST['Email']; $howfound = $_POST['HowFound']; //Post data to database, or return error. mysql_select_db("pnmailinglist", $connect); mysql_query("INSERT INTO mailinglist (First, Last, Email, How_Found) VALUES ($firstname,$lastname,$email,$howfound)"); mysql_close($connect); echo "Thank you for joining our mailing list! We will contact you soon with the dates and times of our upcoming events."; ?> Thank you again very much for any pointers or hints as to where I'm screwing up. I get no runtime errors, no syntax errors, and the echo message does display fine at the end -- just no data when I go to check my database! Best Regards, CL

Hi I was just wondering if someone could send me a good tutorial on pulling several fields from a table and displaying them all in one drop down menu for people to select one of them. I dont know what this is called to I dont know what to research online. I got some help here about 6 months ago with drop down menus & I need a little more. I'm working on a form that has about 20 drop down menus, each populated from a mysql database table with about 50 entries each. I need to keep the selected menu option on the form after the form is submitted but each time the form is submitted the selected menu option reverts back to the first item in the database table. Is there any practical way to fix this problem other than using javascript to finish up? I'm not much of a PHP programmer so please excuse the mess but I'm having a problem with some code. I am able to successfully build a table and assign values to radio buttons based one information in a database. The problem comes when I want to update the database when someone changes a radio button. Everthing works up until the foreach statment.

Hi all !
I wish to post the value of an auto submit dropdown value to another page, be redirected to that page, and use it on that page. I am unable to achieve this in php and so I tried as :-follows:-
dropdown.php
<form method="post" action = dropdownaction.php>
<select name="myselect" onchange="this.form.submit();">
<option>blue</option>
<option>red</option>
</select>
</form>
and now I need the equivalent of
dropdownaction.php
<?php if(isset($_POST(['myselect']))) echo " I am selected".$_POST['myselect']; ?>Please can someone tell me how I may retrieve the value of 'myselect' in the dropdownaction.php after being redirected to it. Thanks loads. Hi there, I'm new to PHP so sorry if this is a really basic question. How do i post date of birth collected from a form, into a database? I have the fields in the form set up as 'day' 'month' 'year' all of which are drop-down boxes. I tried doing it one way which i saw on a different website, but it didn't work. Here is what i tried: Code: [Select] '$_POST[day] . - . $_POST[month]' . - . $_POST[year]', More info: In the database table this information is going to, the "date of birth" field is set to "DATE" type. Don't know if that makes any difference In my app, the users will take a multiplication test with 10 problems... I'm not sure how I would post the grade that the user got to the database. When the user finishes the test and hits score it should post their Name/Date & Time/ and Score to the database. I have the name and date & time working. Just not sure how I would approach the score. This is my application... It is small and simple to run in browser.

I'm simply trying to set up a form where, if when a user clicks 'Submit', and then 'Back', the values from the form are preserved. My question is, how do I preserve the values of drop down menus. The following is a snippet of my code: Code: [Select] <select name="dropdown_dept" id="dept_list"> <option value=0><?php echo "Please select one..."?></option> <?php $dropdown_dept = "select dept_name from departments"; $result_dept = $db_conn->query($dropdown_dept); if (!$result_dept) { echo '<p>Unable to get department data.</p>'; return false; } for($i=0; $i<$result_dept->num_rows; $i++) { $app_name_row = $result_dept -> fetch_array(); ?> <option><?php echo($app_name_row[0]); ?></option> <? } ?> </select> Above is where I have set up a drop down menu of departments. Given that code, how can I preserve the department name after a user clicks 'Submit'? Hello everyone, I am trying triple drop down menu first and second menus are working but third one is not working and also the data is not being displayed on the webpage even though I have used "echo" command.. I am unsure what is the problem and how to correct it. So I am attaching my code in this email, could you please look into it and help me with it. I have 1st drop menu for State : Tennessee Alabama Georgia 2nd Drop down list for County: Anderson Bredford Benton 3rd Drop down list for Genus Acer Aristida Eg: Tennnesse -> Anderson, Bredford, Benton and Anderson -> Acer, Aristida and when I select Tennesse->Anderson->Acer it has to display all the information of the table based on these selected values. Could you please help me with this. This is my link for the complete code http://pastebin.com/vvLrpCcr The execution link is http://sozog.utc.edu/~tdv131/MYSQL/genus1c.htm I'm having problems posting date from my MYSQL database. The date in my database is this "2011-01-08 02:53:14" but the it only echo's "01.01.70" Could someone help me figure out why? Here is my code: Code: [Select] <?php $servername='localhost'; $dbusername='root'; $dbpassword=''; $dbname='store'; connecttodb($servername,$dbname,$dbusername,$dbpassword); function connecttodb($servername,$dbname,$dbuser,$dbpassword) { global $link; $link=mysql_connect ("$servername","$dbuser","$dbpassword"); if(!$link){die("Could not connect to MySQL");} mysql_select_db("$dbname",$link) or die ("could not open db".mysql_error()); } // Get all the data from the "example" table $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM henvendelser WHERE status = 'Ubehandlet' ORDER by id desc ") or die(mysql_error()); echo "<table cellspacing='12px' cellpaddomg='5px' align='center'>"; echo "<tr> <th>ID</th> <th> Opprettet </th> <th>Navn</th> <th>Telefon</th> <th>Emne</th> </tr>"; // keeps getting the next row until there are no more to get while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $postTime = $row['date']; $thisTime = time(); $timeDiff = $thisTime-$postTime; if($timeDiff <= 604800) { // Less than 7 days[60*60*24*7] $color = '#D1180A'; } else if($timeDiff > 604800 && $timeDiff <= 1209600) { // Greater than 7 days[60*60*24*7], less than 14 days[60*60*24*14] $color = '#D1B30A'; } else if($timeDiff > 1209600) { // Greater than 14 days[60*60*24*14] $color = '#08C90F'; } echo '<tr style="color: '.$color.';">'; echo '<td>'. $row['id'] .'</td>'; echo '<td>'. date('d.m.y', $postTime) .'</td>'; echo '<td><a href="detaljer.php?view='. $row['id'] .'">'. $row['Navn'] .'</a></td>'; echo '<td>'. $row['Telefon'] .'</td>'; echo '<td>'. $row['Emne'] .'</td>'; echo '</tr>'; } echo '</table>'; ?> I have an email form that is working wonderfully. I have a select box that has a list of names of people that you can email. That list is being pulled from a database. It is currently sending to the email related to the name selected in the dropdown menu. However, in the email that sends, I would like the name of the recipient to show up in the greeting. I.E. Dear "name from dropdown". How do I go about doing this. My select box that holds the query for the name is as folows: <?php echo '<select name="First_and_Last_Name">'; while( $array = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) ) { $text_for_select = $array["First_Name"] . " " . $array["Last_Name"]. " " . $array["District"]; $value_for_select = $array["Email"]; echo "<option></option>\n"; echo "<option value=\"$value_for_select\">$text_for_select</option>\n"; } echo '</select>';?> No, this is querying the First and Last Name and another variable called district in to a new variable called "text_for_select". I just want to either print the "text_for_select" after the "Dear", or better yet, just the "First_Name" and "Last_Name". How would I get this to print there? $day = $_POST['day']; $month = $_POST['month']; $year = $_POST['year']; $date = date("Y-m-d", time(0,0,0,$month, $day, $year)); $sql="INSERT INTO child_info (first_name,middle_name,first_family_name,second_family_name, gender,birthdate,mother_living,father_living,brothers,sisters,resident_time,dorm,school,grade_level,school_subject,speak_english,food,medical_allergies,physical_limits,future,instrument,work,social,special_people,hobby,sponsor) VALUES ('$_POST[first_name]','$_POST[middle_name]','$_POST[first_family_name]','$_POST[second_family_name]','$_POST[gender]','$_POST[date]','$_POST[mother_living]','$_POST[father_living]','$_POST[brothers]','$_POST[sisters]','$_POST[resident_time]','$_POST[dorm]','$_POST[school]','$_POST[grade_level]','$_POST[school_subject]','$_POST[speak_english]','$_POST[food]','$_POST[medical_allergies]','$_POST[physical_limits]','$_POST[future]','$_POST[instrument]','$_POST[work]','$_POST[social]','$_POST[special_people]','$_POST[hobby]','$_POST[sponsor]')"; I am currently creating a form and I want to populate a drop down selection menu with data from two fields in a form. For example, I want it to pull the first and last name fields from a database to populate names in a drop down menu in a form. I want the form to submit to the email address of the person selected in the drop down. Is this possible to do? The email is already a field in the record of the person in the database. Can anyone give me some pointers or advice on how I should go about setting up the "Select" box drop down? I am not sure how to code it to do what I am wanting. Any links to relevant help would be appreciated too. Thanks in advance! |
