PHP - Echoing Drop Down List
I have a drop down list that contains expiration dates in the format 01/12 and if the user selected a certain drop down list I would like that same date selected. Does anyone know the code to do this?
Thanks. Similar TutorialsHey--I'm new to the forum, to php, and to web development in general. I am using php to populate a drop-down list from a MySQL database, and then echo the text in a field associated with the selected value below. I'm having no trouble creating the drop-down list, but I can't figure out how to echo the associated field below, or the ?Abbreviation=value that I expected in the url. Here is the php file: Code: [Select] <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> </head> <body> <form name="form" method="GET" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"> <select> <?php $con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","root"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("calculators", $con); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM calculator"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "<option type='text' name='Title' " . "value='" . $row['Title'] . "'>" . $row['Abbreviation'] . "</option>"; } mysql_close($con); ?> </select> <br> <input type="submit" name="submit"> </form> <?php echo $_GET['Title']; ?> </body> </html> This is what the source code looks like in the browser: Code: [Select] <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> </head> <body> <form name="form" method="GET" action="/calculators/index.php"> <select> <option type='text' name='Title' value='Mean Arterial Pressure'>MAP</option><option type='text' name='Title' value='Body Mass Index'>BMI</option></select> <br> <input type="submit" name="submit"> </form> </body> </html> And this is appearing in the url after I press submit: Code: [Select] ?submit=Submit I'm sorry if this is a silly question, or if I'm being long-winded in asking it. I'm very new to web development, and I'm not sure exactly what information is necessary to solve the problem. Also, though changes to the code are helpful, I may need an explanation to understand them... Thanks, Davis Hi all, I have a html form list box that needs to show all the types of products that are for sale and have a number in the list box saying how many of that type are for sale. eg. If the mysql database looks like this productType | productDetails chair | outdoor large chair table | 2m x 1m chair | indoor chair chair | childs chair I would want the form list box to show the values inside as: chair (3) table (1) could someone give me the heads up on how to do this Thanks I have a form that contains 3 text fields and 7 populated lists (that are dependent on the choice of the previous lists). When I post the information to MySQL and to my processing page, it posts the table "ids" instead of the selected option. Here's the php code for the form: <form action="gccsuccess_form.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="gcc" id="gcc"> <table width="700" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3"> <tr> <td><label for="date">Today's Date:</label> <input type="text" name="date" id="date"></td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Week Number: <select name="week" size="1" id="week"> <option value="0" selected>Week 0 - 3/26 - 4/1</option> <option value="1">Week 1 - 4/2 - 4/8</option> <option value="2">Week 2 - 4/9 - 4/15</option> <option value="3">Week 3 - 4/16 - 4/22</option> <option value="4">Week 4 - 4/23 - 4/29</option> <option value="5">Week 5 - 4/30 - 5/6</option> <option value="6">Week 6 - 5/7 - 5/13</option> </select></td> <td><label for="location"></label> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Location: <select id='locations' name='location'> </select></td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="label8">Team Name</label> <select id='team_names' name='team_name'> </select></td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><em>*Please enter each team member's first and last name:</em></td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="mem_1"> Team <strong>Captain:</strong></label> <select id='team_members 1' name='capt'> </select></td> <td><label for="label4"><strong>Steps:</strong></label> <input type="text" name="steps_1" id="steps_1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="mem_2">Team Member #2 <strong>Name: <select id='team_members 2' name='mem_2'> </select> </strong></label></td> <td><label for="label5"><strong>Steps:</strong></label> <input type="text" name="steps_2" id="steps_2"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="mem_3">Team Member #3 <strong>Name: <select id='team_members 3' name='mem_3'> </select> </strong></label></td> <td><label for="label6"><strong>Steps:</strong></label> <input type="text" name="steps_3" id="steps_3"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="mem_4">Team Member #4<strong> Name</strong>: <select id='team_members 4' name='mem_4'> </select> </label></td> <td><label for="label7"><strong>Steps:</strong></label> <input type="text" name="steps_4" id="steps_4"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="label">Team Member #5<strong> Name</strong>: <select id='team_members 5' name='mem_5'> </select> </label></td> <td><label for="label7"><strong>Steps:</strong></label> <input type="text" name="steps_5" id="steps_5"></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td><em>* Maximum steps for each team member per week is <strong>105,000. </strong></em></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td><input type="submit" name="Submit Form" id="Submit Form" value="Submit"></td> </tr> </table> <label></label> <div align="center"><br> If you have questions about the competition or reporting please contact KC WELLNESS, INC toll free at <SPAN id="lw_1237248942_0">877-634-1412.</SPAN><br> <br> </div> </form> And here's the code for the page it is posted in: <?php $date = $_POST['date']; $week = $_POST['week']; $location = $_POST['location']; $team_name = $_POST['team_name']; $capt = $_POST['capt']; $mem_2 = $_POST['mem_2']; $mem_3 = $_POST['mem_3']; $mem_4 = $_POST['mem_4']; $mem_5 = $_POST['mem_5']; $steps_1= $_POST['steps_1']; $steps_2= $_POST['steps_2']; $steps_3= $_POST['steps_3']; $steps_4 = $_POST['steps_4']; $steps_5 = $_POST['steps_5']; mysql_connect("mysql1.myregisteredsite.com", "49200_kandace", "Leonardo56") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("49200_GCC") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_query("INSERT INTO `walkathon` VALUES ('$date', '$week', '$location', '$team_name', '$capt','$mem_2','$mem_3', '$mem_4', '$mem_5', '$steps_1','$steps_2', '$steps_3','$steps_4', '$steps_5' )"); Print "Thank you for your entry. <br> Report summary: <br/><br/>"; echo "<strong> Date: </strong> {$date} <br/> <br/><strong> Week: </strong> {$week} <br/> <br/><strong> Location: </strong> {$location} <br/> <br/><strong> Team Name: </strong> {$team_name} <br/> <br/><strong> Team Captain: </strong> {$capt} / <strong> Steps: </strong> {$steps_1} <br /> <br/><strong> Team Member 2 Name: </strong> {$mem_2} / <strong> Steps: </strong> {$steps_2} <br /> <br/><strong> Team Member 3 Name: </strong> {$mem_3} / <strong> Steps: </strong> {$steps_3} <br /> <br/><strong> Team Member 4 Name: </strong> {$mem_4} / <strong> Steps: </strong> {$steps_4} <br /> <br/><strong> Team Member 5 Name: </strong> {$mem_5} / <strong> Steps: </strong> {$steps_5}" ?> How do I get the processing page to echo the selected option instead of the id?

T.I.A Hi ,
I am pretty new to php. I would like to create a php website based on folders.
I have a code so far that shows the names of folder in a selection box. What I would like to achieve now is how i get the images inside the folder after I click on submit. I know how to get the images with a glob function. What I don't know is how to get the value of each specific folder name. How would I do that?
I have this code so far to get the names of the folders in the selection box:
<form action="test.php" method="post">
<select name="myDirs">
<option value="" selected="selected">Select a genre</option>
<?php
$dirs = glob("*", GLOB_ONLYDIR);
foreach($dirs as $val){
echo '<option value="'.$val.'">'.$val."</option>\n";
}
?>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="submit2">
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit2']))I have a "select"-drop down bar and I want to have a numbered list in it, i've tried but it doesn't seem to be possible. Is there any way that i'm able to do this? I'm useing a simple HTML drop-down list box. But now I want to be able to and an editable drop-down box so that if the particular item in the drop-down is not changed it won't update the database. But if a new value is selected it will update the DB with the new value.
I am not clear on a couple of things. should the valuse of the drop down be in a seperate DB table. And then the script to change the new value or keep the old.
I've googled this and can't seem to find a workable solution.
Thanks in advance,
Hi, I am trying to create a drop down list in php and I want the data to come from a table that I have created in phpmyadmin. The code that I have created allows me to select values from the drop down list and insert the rest of the data. However when I check the the table the SID and Cid are set to 0 and the grade field is empty and the comments field contains the grade. The SID and Cid are both composite keys. <?php $sql = "SELECT Cid FROM course"; $db1 = new DBStudent_Course(); $db1->openDB(); $result = $db1->getResult($sql); echo"<select name = Cid>"; while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) { echo "<option value = '" . $row->Cid . "'>$row->Cid</option>"; } echo"</select>"; echo "</p>"; ?> <?php $sql = "SELECT SID FROM student"; $db1 = new DBStudent_Course(); $db1->openDB(); $result = $db1->getResult($sql); echo"<select name = SID>"; while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) { echo "<option value = '" . $row->SID . "'>$row->SID</option>"; } echo"</select>"; echo "</p>"; ?> <?php if (!$_POST) { //page loads for the first time ?> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post"> grade:<input type="text" name="grade"/><br/> comments:<input type="text" name="comments" /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Save" /> </form> <?php } else { $Cid = $_POST["Cid"]; $SID = $_POST["SID"]; $grade = $_POST["grade"]; $comments = $_POST["comments"]; $db1 = new DBStudent_Course(); $db1->openDB(); $numofrows = $db1->insert_student_course("", $SID, $Cid, $grade, $comments); echo "Success. Number of rows affected: <strong>{$numofrows}<strong>"; $db1->closeDB(); } ?> Hello all,
I am new in php and would like to help me in in code.
I would like to implement a html form that will upload to my linux server some files, some info as well and will run a bash command.
To be more clear, users will:
Send to the linux server two files (I have done it).
Select from a drop down list a specific directory, and once this specific directory has been selected to activate one other drop down menu with its childs.
Send all those info to a bash script.
For case b, assume that we have the following structure
my_dir/cars/brand1
my_dir/cars/brand2
my_dir/cars/brand3
my_dir/motors/brand5
my_dir/motors/brand6
the first drop down list should list only cars and motors while the second only brand1, brand2, and brand3 if cars is selected or brand5 and brand6 if motors is selected.
For case c, once the form is submitted, I would like the command:
./script.sh –a uploadedfile1 –b uploadedfile2 –c dropdown1 –d dropdpwn2
Any help is appreciated.
Best,
Hello, I'm trying to get a drop down list (ordinary html function, select option ...) but I want it to start from an image. When you click the image I want the drop down list to appear. Hove can I do this? /Pelle hi, I'm sruggling to get a drop down list to post the chosen value from an sql database.. could someone please point me in the right direction many thanks! I have two basic dropdown lists in a form, my question is this: After selecting an item from the 1st dropdown list, the second dropdown list should automatically load only fields that are connected with the first selected item. (ex Site1 has Tank01 and Tank06, but Site2 has Tank03, Tank04 and also a Tank06). What is the script needed / or how do I change my script to accommodate this? Here is the basic script I use for the second dropdown list: <?php include("../xxx.php"); $cxn = mysqli_connect($host,$user,$password,$dbname); $query = "SELECT DISTINCT `diesel_tank_id` FROM `diesel_tank` ORDER BY `diesel_tank_id`"; $result = mysqli_query($cxn,$query); while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) { extract($row); echo "<option value='$diesel_tank_id'>$diesel_tank_id</option>\n"; } ?> Basically I have a form and What I want it to do is when a user selects the 'For Sale' radio button the minimum and maximum prices will be displayed in the drop down list as "70,000"+ but when the user selects the 'To Rent' radial button then the minimum and maximum drop down list prices will change to e.g. "200"+. How would I do this? Heres my Code for the form: Code: [Select] <div id="ptype"> <input type="radio" class="styled" name="ptype" value="forsale"/> For Sale <p class="increase"> <input type="radio" class="styled" name="ptype" value="forrent"/> To Rent </p> <p class="increase"> <input type="radio" class="styled" name="ptype" value="any"/> Any </p> </div> </td> </tr> </table> <div id="table2"> <table id="NBtable"> <tr> <td><p class="NBS">Number of bedrooms:</p></td> <td><div id="NB"> <select name="min bedrooms"> <?php $roomLimit = 5; for($minRooms = 0; $minRooms <= $roomLimit; $minRooms++){ if ($minRooms == 0){ echo"<option value=\"0\" selected=\"selected\">No Min</option>"; } else{ echo "<option value=\"$minRooms\">$minRooms</option>"; } } ?> </select> to <select name="max bedrooms"> <?php $roomLimit = 5; for($maxRooms = 0; $maxRooms <= $roomLimit; $maxRooms++){ if ($maxRooms == 0){ echo"<option value=\"0\" selected=\"selected\">No Max</option>"; } else{ echo "<option value=\"$maxRooms\">$maxRooms</option>"; } } ?> </select> </div> </td> <td><p class="PR">Price range:</p></td> <td><div id="PR"> <select name="min price" style='width:80px;'> <?php $priceLimit = 350; for($minPrice = 40; $minPrice <= $priceLimit; $minPrice =( $minPrice+ 10)){ if ($minPrice == 40){ echo"<option value=\"0\" selected=\"selected\">No Min</option>"; } else{ echo "<option value=\"$minPrice000\">£$minPrice,000</option>"; } } ?> </select> to <select name="max price" style='width:80px;'> <?php $priceLimit = 350; for($maxPrice = 40; $maxPrice <= $priceLimit; $maxPrice =( $maxPrice+ 10)){ if ($maxPrice == 40){ echo"<option value=\"0\" selected=\"selected\">No Max</option>"; } else{ echo "<option value=\"$maxPrice000\">£$maxPrice,000</option>"; } } ?> </select> Thanks in advance. how do i loop this so that the option in the drop down list loop. i tried this but get an error Code: [Select] <select name="age"><?php for ($i=10; $i<71; $i++;) { echo "<option value='$i'>$i</option>"; } ?></select> I have a drop down list which retrieves site name acronym and the url from the database.

I want it to work like this. When I select something from the list and click Add To Cart, that also the product gets send to the cart and not only the quantity. you can check it out here : http://fhcs.be/cart-demo2/index.php I also added my index.php as an attachment Greets This topic has been moved to Ajax Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=316053.0 for some reason my code only posts the first word of the username even tho the last names are in the database. www.checkmyweave.co.uk/new/dropdown.php dropdown.php Quote <?php mysql_connect("localhost","****","****"); mysql_select_db("checkmyw_database") or die("Unable to select database"); ?> <form action="/new/dropdown2.php" Method="POST"> User:<select name="username"> <?php $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members") or die(mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) { echo "<option value=".$row['username'].">"; echo $row['username']."</option>"; } ?> </select> <form action="/new/dropdown2.php" METHOD="POST"> <input type = "submit" value="New!"> </form> dropdown2.php Quote <?php $username=$_POST["username"]; echo $username ; ?> Okay, so, here's my dilemma. I'm wanting to have it so someone can edit an item in the database, but it is a dropdown menu for the options to choose from. How do I make it so that the option that the item currently is is what the default showing is? For instance, if the item is for a "warrior", it will show warrior already in the dropdown menu. However, I could go to the dropdown menu and select a different option if I wanted. The {{class}} doesn't seem to give that default. Right now, it just defaults to "All" regardless of what the item truly goes to, such as "warrior". Thanks in advance!! Here's what I have for the coding: <tr><td width="20%">Class:</td><td><select name="class" value="{{class}}"> <option value="1" {{class1select}}>All</option> <option value="2" {{class2select}}>Alchemist</option> <option value="3" {{class3select}}>Assassin</option> <option value="4" {{class4select}}>Dark Arts</option> <option value="5" {{class5select}}>Dark Paladin</option> <option value="6" {{class6select}}>Entertainer</option> <option value="7" {{class7select}}>Hunter</option> <option value="8" {{class8select}}>Mage</option> <option value="9" {{class9select}}>Monk</option> <option value="10" {{class10select}}>Paladin</option> <option value="11" {{class11select}}>Pirate</option> <option value="12" {{class12select}}>Priest</option> <option value="13" {{class13select}}>Psion</option> <option value="14" {{class14select}}>Scholar</option> <option value="15" {{class15select}}>Thief</option> <option value="16" {{class16select}}>Warlock</option> <option value="17" {{class17select}}>Warrior</option> </select></td></tr> |
