Hi Guys,

Appreciate any help here please...

Basically I want to hide some inputs on my registration page and populate them will default values.  Everything works okay, apart from the input below:

Code: [Select]
<input type="hidden" name="seek_location" value="Anywhere">
When I use the above, the MYSQL database field for seek_location is left empty...

I've noticed that the code below pulls the location into a dropdown list.  You know the kind of thing, Australia, UK, USA etc etc:

Code: [Select]
$seek_location = $wcr[$seek_location];
Code: [Select]
<? $p=0;asort($wcr);reset($wcr);
while (list ($p, $val) = each ($wcr)) {
echo '<option value="'.$p.'">'.$val;
}
?>
So, all I want to do is have:

Code: [Select]
<input type="hidden" name="seek_location" value="Anywhere">
Populate seek_location with Anywhere

Any help appreciated
Thanks
Rob

             <input type="hidden" name="text" size=30 id="yesandno">
             <?php
                if ($_GET['yesandno'] == "no")
                {
                   echo "anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!";
                }

hidden input field type doesnt display the full value i get from table, say if it is a first name and last name i get only the first name. here is my input field
echo "<input type=hidden name=proid value=$result_row[project_id]></include>";
echo "<input type=text value=$result_row[project_name] readonly></include>";

my sql query returns the full name but when i input into the text field it returns an incomplete project name like say if it is fans of soccer, i just get the value "fans" in my display.....

I am trying to set the hidden input in the javascript but it doesn't set it in the php. 

This is the form with the hidden input. It corresponds to a field in the database table with the name of draggables.

<form method="post" accept-charset="utf-8" id="myForm2" action="/mealplans/add">

<input type="hidden" name="draggables" id="drag12"/>

<button id="myId" type="submit">Submit Form</button>

</form>

This is where I change the value in the javascript:

if(data == "draggable3"){
alert("data " + data);
var x = document.getElementById("drag12").value;
x =  "draggable3";
alert(x);
} //end if

                
The alert pops up with draggable3 as it should but the value of null is what gets saved in the database. The javascript doesn't change the PHP value; it only changes the client side value.         

I've also tried getElementsByName but that didn't work either.

var y = document.getElementsByName("draggables").value;    //only changes it on the client

This is actually a cakephp site but this problem is with the PHP so I am publishing it here.
