PHP - Keep Yes Or No Selection?
Is there a simple way to keep a yes or no selection in a drop down menu after the page is submitted?
Code: [Select] <form name="survey" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"> Satisfied<select name="satisfied"> <option value="yes"> yes </option> <option value="no"> no </option> </select> <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> Similar Tutorialshow do i make it so that all the items appear on eventname Code: [Select] <?php require "scripts/connect.php"; $query = mysql_query("SELECT eventname FROM events"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)){ $eventname = $row['eventname']; $form = "<form action='addcat.php' method='post'> <table> <tr> <td>SELECT EVENT</td> <td> <select value='$eventname'> <option value='$eventname'>$eventname</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>SELECT VENUE</td> <td> <select> <option></option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>SELECT CATEGORY</td> <td> <select> <option>FOOTBALL</option> <option>BASKETBALL</option> <option>HOCKEY</option> <option>DRAMA</option> <option>MUSIC</option> <option>DANCE</option> <option>VISUAL ARTS</option> </select> </td> </tr> </table> </form>"; echo "$form"; } ?> Hi, I'm basically trying to write something like the below: $uri = "1"; $uri = "2"; if ($uri == "1") { echo 'test 1'; } if ($uri == "2") { echo 'test 2'; } if ($uri == "3") { echo 'test 3'; } I will define $uri on every page and I want the php to process what to display on the page, ie test 1, test 2 and/or test 3 When I try to select more than one value for my report, only one value shows.

I want to have a first page on my website where you as visitor can choose the preferred language. No login at all. I want to save this choice in a cookie or something. The easiest way So next time he/she visits, the language choice is already made for he/she. Any good suggestions for a php code that works? My website, http://www.LawnBagSigns.com, has a lot of price tables, which I think, are getting bulky and hard to read. Like this price page here, I think the table might be scaring people away. So here is what I want to try - have a series of dropdown boxes where the user can choose the details a product one by one (for example, first the size, then the quantity). I want to do this in PHP and XML, and I want to avoid JavaScript since, believe it or not, not all of my website's visitors have JavaScript enabled. My problem at the moment is that the XML document is full of white scape that is screwing over my system, but I don't want to sacrifice readability by blobbing the whole xml file into one line with no spaces (because if I want to change or add something... you get the idea). So my question is, how do I get rid of the white scape? Here is the prototype I've been working on: http://www.lawnbagsigns.com/flyers-test.php The XML: Code: [Select] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="whitespace_ripper.xsl"?> <price_table> <side>1 <qty>25 <size>3.5 x 8.5 <price> 37 </price> </size> <size>8.5 x 5.5 <price> 37 </price> </size> <size>4.25 x 11 <price> 37 </price> </size> <size>8.5 x 7 <price> 38 </price> </size> </qty> </side> <side>2 <qty>25 <size>3.5 x 8.5 <price> 37 </price> </size> <size>8.5 x 5.5 <price> 37 </price> </size> <size>4.25 x 11 <price> 37 </price> </size> <size>8.5 x 7 <price> 38 </price> </size> </qty> </side> </price_table>and the PHP code: Code: [Select] <?php //P Session function priceSelect ($path) { if (!empty($_REQUEST['Previous'])) { $_SESSION['xmlCursor'] = $_SESSION['xmlCursor']->parentNode; echo 'test1<br />'; } elseif (!empty($_REQUEST['Next'])) { $exitLoop = false; $childCursor = $_SESSION['xmlCursor']->firstChild; while ($exitLoop == false) { if ($childCursor == $_SESSION['choice']) { $_SESSION['xmlCursor'] = $childCursor; $exitLoop = true; } else { $childCursor = $childCursor->nextSibling; } } echo 'test2<br />'; } else { $_SESSION['userMadeChoices'] = array(array()); $_SESSION['xmlCursor'] = loadXML($path); echo $_SESSION['xmlCursor']->firstChild->nodeValue; echo $_SESSION['xmlCursor']->parentNode->nodeValue; echo 'test3<br />'; } $reload = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; echo '<form action="'.$reload.'" method="post">'; displayChoices($_SESSION['userMadeChoices']); echo 'test4<br />'; displayMenu($_SESSION['xmlCursor'], $_SESSION['userMadeChoices'] ); echo 'test5<br />'; displayButtons($_SESSION['xmlCursor']); echo 'test6<br />'; echo '</form>'; } function loadXML($path) { $xmlDoc = new DOMDocument(); $xmlDoc->load($path); $xmlDoc = $xmlDoc->documentElement; return $xmlDoc; } function displayChoices($data) { for ($i = 0; $i < count($data); $i ++) { echo $data[$i][0]; echo '</br>'; } } function displayMenu($xml, $data) { echo '<select name="choice">'; //$xml = $xml->documentElement; //$data[$xml] = foreach($xml->childNodes AS $child) { echo '<option value="' . $child->firstChild->nodeValue .

'</option>'; } echo '</select>'; } function displayButtons($xml) { if ($xml->childNodes != null) { echo '<input type="submit" name="Previous" value="Previous Step" />'; } if ($xml->parentNode != null) { echo '<input type="submit" name="Next" value="Next Step" />'; } } function stripWhitespace ($string) { return $string; } ?> How can I prevent someone from making an ivalid selection in a form? Lets say I had a select dropdown box and someone saved the HTML source from the browser, changed an item in the list, and changed the action to point back to my server eg. action="testsite.com/index.php". Then they open the file and try to submit the form.
guys i have this dropdown menu echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"\">"; echo "<center><select name=\"mydropdown\" size=\"0\" style=\"height:4em; width:15em;\">"; echo "<option value=\"Milk1\">{$_SESSION['tem1']}</option>"; echo "<option value=\"Milk2\">{$_SESSION['tem2']}</option>"; echo "<option value=\"Milk3\">{$_SESSION['tem3']}</option>"; echo "</select></center>"; echo "</form>"; and i wand to update a variable every time i select one of the contents... how can i done this??? if a user were to select multiple items in a selection list I would like to concatenate those items into a list and assign that into a variable. I know I should loop through the list but i'm not sure how I would continue to add those values to a variable. Hi I have to multi select tables, the table on the left is field with the contents of an array, I then have it so the user can make there selections from the left box and move them into the right. They then hit submit and it gets stored inmysql table as an array. The problem I am having is keeping the selections in that right box after any sort of page refresh. Any ideas I have pasted the php and html code below, the add/remove function is controlled by javascript, I won't bother pasting that as i don't think it has anything to do with it.

Many Thanks MOD EDIT: code tags added Hi I am pulling my hair out over this, I have tried many many ways on getting this to work but none have. I have a multi list selection box, which the user can select more than one option from. Once submitted this gets sent to a mysql database table. Below is my shortened version of the multi list html code: <select multiple="multiple" size="10" name="special[]"> <option value="Abdominal Training"> Abdominal Training </option> <option value="Aerobics"> Aerobics </option> <option value="Agility"> Agility </option> </select> If have tried putting [] which creates an array in the mysql table field special, but when I echo it back it just echos 'array'. When I try it without the [], and echo it back, it only echos one selection. I am still new to php, but have managed to get my head around a lot, but have been stuck on this for weeks, please help. 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 Good day: I am tryint to redirect back to a page based on non selection. I am using this code, it is redirecting but not passing the $aid variable on the url. The page is getting the passed variable before doing the redirect. Here is the code: Code: [Select] if ($_POST['hid']==0) { header('Location: sample.php?aid=."$aid"'); } Thanks in advance.

I'm using the following code to populate a combobox with salutations. The List is populated and the initial value is 'select a salutation'. When the submit button is clicked, the selection is saved in the database. my issue is that when i open the page based on the id number, the list does not remember my choice. it just lists all the salutations in the combobox. How can i change this code to remember the value selected? thanks. I am saving the value of Salutation_1 from the combobox into records.Salutation_1. <?php $result=mysql_query("select Salutation from salutations"); $options=""; while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $categoryname=$row["Salutation"]; $options.="<OPTION VALUE=\"$categoryname\">".$categoryname.'</option>'; } ?> <select name="Salutation_1"> <option >< select salutation > <?php echo $options ?></option> Hi, I am trying to create a playlist using a multidimesional array. Where the user will select a song to hear from a radio button and when they do they will hear the song on the url that I have for that song. I am not sure if I am headed in the right direction. I believe the array is suppose to go as follows: Code: [Select] <?php $songs = array( 'Christina Aguilera'=>array( 'Impossible', 'Beautiful', 'Dirrty' ), 'Pink'=>array( 'Just like a pill', 'Family potrait', 'Missundaztood' ), 'Kelly Rowland'=>array( 'Stole', 'Obsession', 'Past 12' ) ); ?> but I am trying to see how would I send them to the url to listen to the song after they have selected the song. Hi all, I am trying to produce a script that will send out an email but the user can basically choose how often they get this email... I want to give them the option of daily, weekly and monthly. I have the logic down on paper and in plain English it seems to make sense but I am having a hard time converting this to code: My logic is: 1. find out how often they want to get the email (we will call this frequency, as thats what my database field is called) 2. drag out last updated timestamp (this is called last_updated and is a unix timestamp) 3. some form of compare i.e. if frequency is weekly and $today is 7 days after last reminded alert them as I say this makes sense in plain English but I'm having a hard time converting it... this is what I have come up with so far: Code: [Select] <?php // Connect include("../connect.php"); $query = "SELECT * FROM resumes_bak WHERE jobseekerid = '2610'"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error()); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $current_timestamp = time(); echo "Current Timestamp: ".$current_timestamp; echo "<br /><br />"; $frequency = $row['frequency']; echo "Frequency is: ".$frequency; echo "<br /><br />"; $lastReminded = $row['last_reminded']; echo "Last reminded: ".$lastReminded; echo "<br /><br />"; $daily = strtotime('+1 day', $lastReminded); echo "One day forward: ".$daily; echo "<br />"; $weekly = strtotime('+1 week', $lastReminded); echo "One week forward: ".$weekly; echo "<br />"; $monthly = strtotime('+1 month', $lastReminded); echo "One month forward: ".$monthly; echo "<br /><br />"; if($frequency = 'daily' && /* I THINK I NEED ADDITIONAL CLAUSES IN HERE TO DO THE COMPARISON */ ) { echo "I am daily"; } elseif ($frequency = 'weekly') { echo "I am weekly"; } else { echo "I am monthly"; } } ?> Can anybody help me on my way here, I seem to have hit a wall!
