But I have no idea how to make this works , is there any simple example for this function ? Thanks for any help provided . Similar TutorialsHello, I have the following function function make_agent_drop($dropname,$parent=''){ $agents = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ad_category WHERE cat_status='1' AND parent_id='".(is_numeric($parent)?$parent:"0")."'") or die(mysql_error()); $anum = mysql_num_rows($agents); if($anum>0){ $agentdrop='<select style="width:150px; height:20px; margin-left:100px; font-size:11px;" name="'.$dropname.'" id="'.$dropname.'" class="text" '.(is_numeric($parent)?'':'onchange="update_subcatdrop($(this).val());').'"> <option value="0">Select a Category</option>'; while($row= mysql_fetch_array($agents)){ $agentdrop.='<option value="'.$row['cat_id'].'">'.$row['cat_name'].'</option>'; } $agentdrop.='</select>'; }else{ $agentdrop= 'No '.(is_numeric($parent)?'Sub':'').'Categories Found.'; } return $agentdrop; ; } I creates a drop down from database cats and sub cats..

Dan Hi, In my mysql database i have a text input option, in the registration form and edit my details form i have a multiple select dropdown list, which user selects options to populate the text input box, which ultimately populates the text field in the mysql database. All works perfectly. The dropdownlist consists of 3 parts <optgroups> first is current selection (what is the usesr current selection)works fine, The second <optgroup> is existing words, what words we(the site) have given as options, and the third <optgroup> is the words that others have used. This is where im having a small problem. Because its a text field when i call the data from the database, it calls the entire text box as a single option in my select list.. I want to break the words in the text field (at the comma) and have them listed each one as an option in the select list. Example what i need: Words in text box:(my input allows the "comma") word1, word2, word3, word4, word5, word6, How i want them called/displayed: <option value=\"word1\">word1</option> <option value=\"word2\">word2</option> <option value=\"word3\">word3</option> <option value=\"word4\">word4</option> <option value=\"word5\">word5</option> <option value=\"word6\">word6</option> here's my code: $query = "SELECT allwords FROM #__functions_experience WHERE profile_id = '".(int)$profileId."' LIMIT 1"; $original_functionsexperience =doSelectSql($query,1); $query = "SELECT allwords FROM #__functions_experience WHERE profile_id = '".(int)$profileId."' LIMIT 1"; $functionsexperiencelist=doSelectSql($query); $funcexpList ="<select multiple=\"multiple\" onchange=\"setFunctionsexperience(this.options)\">"; foreach ($functionsexperiencelist as $functionsexperienceal) { $selected=""; if ($functionsexperienceals->allwords == $original_functionsexperience) $selected=' selected="selected"'; $allwords=$functionsexperienceal->allwords; $funcexpList .= "<optgroup label=\"Current selection\"> <option value=\"".$allwords."\" ".$selected." >".$allwords."</option> </optgroup> <optgroup label=\"Existing Words\"> <option value=\"existing1,\">existing1</option> <option value=\"existing2,\">existing2</option> <option value=\"existing3,\">existing3</option> <option value=\"existing4,\">existing4</option> <option value=\"existing5,\">existing5</option> <option value=\"existing6,\">existing6</option> </optgroup> <optgroup label=\"Others added\"> //heres problem <option value=\"".$allwordsgeneral."\">".$allwordsgeneral."</option> </optgroup>"; } $funcexpList.="</select>"; $output['FUNCEXPLIST']=$funcexpList; The result im getting for optgroup others added: word1, word2, word3, word4, word5, how can i get it like this: <option value=\"word1\">word1</option> <option value=\"word2\">word2</option> <option value=\"word3\">word3</option> <option value=\"word4\">word4</option> <option value=\"word5\">word5</option> <option value=\"word6\">word6</option> I have a form where I have inserted 7 pre-populated relational lists. All of the information is pulling correctly from the databases, but when it posts, it's posting the value "ids" instead of the chosen text.

Hello I am working in moodle and its code base is in PHP. I am a novice to moodle as well as PHP and not quite familiar with PHP syntax. Right now I have built a Web page in moodle, and its view.php file I need to implement a fuctionality on click of a button. On click of submit button, I am trying to implement a functionality and I have written the code for that under if(isset($_POST['submit])) { ...my code...} Also while creating the form I have set the attributes as follows: echo "<form method='post' action='" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?inpopup=". $_GET['inpopup']."&id=" . $_GET['id'] . "'>"; But irrespective of whether or not I click the button, whenevr the page loads for the first time, it perform the code written in IF loop as well. So Am i going wrong in implementing a functionality on click of button in PHP or is it something related to moodle, if anyone knows? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. As I am stuck with this logic since last three days. Regards Folks,
Look at this weird thing. I load the page and get echoed as expected: Did Not REQUEST_METHOD! Then, I click the SUBMIT button and to my astonishment I get echoed: Did Not POST->Submit! Got 2 buttons. Same result whenever clicking any. Why is that ? Check it out:

Hello all,
I am an absolute beginner when it comes to PHP and Javascript but wanted a simple contact form for my website. I used the PHP code from one source and the Javascript validator code from another source and all is working fine except for one very annoying bug: I have to press the Submit button twice in order for the form to send the email. I've found that if the validator is already triggered, however, I only need to press the button once for it to submit. I have scoured the internet for a solution to this problem but am realizing this must be a hangup in the particular code I'm using and I'm just not experienced enough to troubleshoot it.
A little help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Here's the client side code (truncated to only show relevant parts):
<html> <head> <script src="js/gen_validatorv4.js" type="text/javascript"></script> </head> <body> <form method="post" action="contact.php" name="contactform"> <div class="row collapse-at-2 half"> <div class="6u"> <input name="name" placeholder="Name" type="text" /> </div> <div class="6u"> <input name="email" placeholder="Email" type="text" /> </div> </div> <div class="row half"> <div class="12u"> <textarea name="message" placeholder="Message"></textarea> </div> </div> <div class="row half"> <div class="12u"> <ul class="actions"> <li><input type="submit" value="Send Message" /></li> <li><input type="reset" value="Clear form" /></li> </ul> </div> </div> </form> <script type="text/javascript"> var myformValidator = new Validator("contactform"); myformValidator.addValidation("name","req", "Please provide your name."); myformValidator.addValidation("email","req", "Please provide your email."); myformValidator.addValidation("message","req", "Please enter your message."); myformValidator.addValidation("email","email", "Please enter a valid email address."); </script> </body> </html> I have posted this problem in the PHP section but someone suggested I take it here because the hangup is likely in the JS. I have tried removing the JS validator with varying results; sometimes the form still requires double-clicking and sometimes it works fine. Please see my original post below:
Hi. I have just one question (I have searched for an answer for this but have not been able to locate one): How do you go about changing the text on a "Submit Query" button to display simply "Submit"? Below is the current code for the page that displays said button. Thank-you in advance for any help or direction. <?php include 'connection.php'; $query = "SELECT * FROM people"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); while ($person = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo $person ['name']; echo $person ['descrip']; } ?> <H1>Add Your Review:</H1> <form action="create.php" method="post"> Subject <input type="text" name="inputName" value=""/> </br > Review <textarea cols="50" rows="4" name="inputDesc" value=""/></textarea> </br > <input type= "submit" name= "submit"/> </form> <html> <head></head> <body> <p>The current second is <span style='font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;color:red;position:absolute;right:25px;'><?php echo time(); ?></span> on this computer.</p> </body> </html> hey there peoples i have a bit of a problem with my php code. when i click on the name it wont play the video. but if i click on the thumbnail it plays here is the code Code: [Select] echo "<div class='Video_thumbnail'>"; echo "<a href='/Video.php?id={$row['id']}'>"; echo "<img src='http://i.ytimg.com/vi/{$row['link']}/hqdefault.jpg' width='220' height='170' alt='click' /></a>"; echo "<br>"; echo "</br>"; echo "<a href='/Video.php?={$row['id']}'>"; echo "{$row['navn']}</a>"; echo "</div>"; I’m trying to construct a button that simply writes an "aleph" character into a text area, see below.
My code does not work, can anyone tell me why ? How should I fix it ?
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <head> <title>Example</title> <script type="text/javascript"> //JavaScript code goes here function insertAtEnd(text) { var theArea = document.getElementById("thisArea"); theArea.value += '' + text + '';; } </script> </head> <body> <input type="button" id="aleph" name="aleph" value="Write an aleph" onClick="javascript:insertAtEnd(\'<span>א</span>\');return(false)" /> <textarea id="thisArea"> </textarea> </body> </html> You would think the answer would be all over the Internet and easy to find, but it’s not. I have searched many times, and in all the multitude of search results I have still never found an adequate usable answer. The MOST you ever find is someone saying how easy it is with PHP, but they don’t tell you how, even when the person they are answering asks them (odd). You can be that one in a billion person who finally answers it for real and helps someone out. I have a simple HTML form with data fields first_name, last_name, email, phone, country, a few hidden inputs, and a single submit button, like so: (Please note: the method is GET, not Post.) <form action="https://MyDomainOnMyServer.com/MyPHPScript.php”> <input type="text" name="first_name" value="" /> <input type="text" name="last_name" value="" /> <input type="text" name="email" value="" /> <input type="text" name="phone" value="" /> <input type="hidden" name="type" value="type123"> <input type="hidden" name="project" value="new123"> <select required name="country"> <option value="">Choose your country</option> <option value="US">United States</option> <option value="CA">Canada</option> <option value="GB">United Kingdom</option> <option value="Many More">Many More Countries</option> </select> <input type="submit" value="Submit Form" /> </form> NOTE: Originally, the form action would have been: action="https://TheirExampleDomainOnTheirRemoteServer.com/TheirRemotePHPScript.php" name="form1234" Upon clicking the single submit button only, what I need to have happen is this: 1. Send me an email to whatever@whatever.tld containing all the form submission data 2. Place the form submission data into a MySQL database having the corresponding data fields 3. Send the form submission contents including the hidden input values to "https://TheirExampleDomainOnTheirRemoteServer.com/TheirRemotePHPScript.php" name="form1234" AS IF that had remained set as the original form action to begin with So basically what I’m trying to obtain is the cleanest possible PHP script that will do those three things, which is essentially what others have asked for over the years in search results I have found, but no one has ever provided it in a clear instance that works. If I can just see such a script, I should be able to see how it works and then do what I need. Thanks. Reply 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.

Hi All,
this is my first post after joining the forum.
First of all, I am not a programmer. My field is of Building design and Architecture. I work for an Architectural company.
I have a great interest in programming and I started learning php, mysql, html css and jscript, to develop a timesheet application for the company. The web application was created and successully implemented in April this year...! However, all these are purely 'self learning', and it has its own downsides as well. This was just a small intro..., let me come to what i request help on. This is for further development of the application.
I have a page to edit the 'utilization' rate of each employee, based on their designations. So the page has all the designations listed as <labels>, next to which a textbox, for the user to fill in the utilization rate. Scenario is that the user will not save each designation's utilization rate immediately after filling it. User will keep going till he fills the last item and then hit the submit button to save. Now, in php I can get all the values from the Request Array. But, how will I know which designations these values belong to? So, what i have as a solution is to name the textboxes with the designation_ids as suffix. May be like;
utilTextbox_1, utilTextbox_2, utilTextbox_3 etc...
Then when the form is submitted;
Check each Request Array element to see if its name starts with 'utilTextbox'
If Yes, split it using '_' to get the designation_id
Update the db table with the value of the text box
Check the next Array Element.....and so on...
is this the correct method or is there a better way of doing this?
