PHP - Mysql Form Dropdown Box Problem
Hello,
I have been trying to figure this for a while now and reading the tutorials are not helping, I think I'm a little over my head on this one and was hoping someone could help me out with this issue.
I am making a User Edit page and would like to have the access level part of the form show the users access current access level thats set in the database when the page loads, and if it needs to be changed you can press the dropdown box and select a new access level. I can't figure out how to show the current access level as default and populate the drop down box with the other access levels in my table.
My Tables look like this
Users table (users):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| id | username | password | flag | realfirst | reallast | dept |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 loderd 9 test guy Service
Auth Table (auth):
--------------------------------------------
| id | auth_level | descrip |
--------------------------------------------
1 1 Service Tech
2 2 Office Staff
3 9 Super Admin
My SQL Query looks like this
$users = $db->fetch_all_array("SELECT users.id, users.username, users.password, users.realfirst, users.reallast, users.dept, users.flag, auth.auth_level, auth.descrip, auth.id
FROM users LEFT JOIN auth
ON users.flag = auth.auth_level
WHERE users.id = '".$_GET['id']."'");
I can't seem to figure out how I can do this for the Access Level dropdown box.
<tr>
<td width="19%" align="right" valign="top">Access Level :</td>
<td width="1%" align="left"> </td>
<td width="80%" align="left" valign="top">
<?php
echo "<select name='flag' id='flag'>";
foreach ($users as $row){
if($row[auth_level]==$row[auth_level]){
echo "<option value=$row[auth_level] selected>$row[auth_level] - $row[descrip]</option>";
}else{
echo "<option value=$row[auth_level]>$row[auth_level] - $row[descrip]</option>";
}
}
echo "</select>"; ?>
</td>
</tr>
Any help would be greatly appreciatedSimilar Tutorialshello. i have an issue where the data stored with an image is not saving to a mysql table. the image data is ok, just not the selections from the dropdown lists. here is the code <?php include ('connect.php'); // Insert any new image into database if(isset($_POST['xsubmit']) && $_FILES['imagefile']['name'] != "") { $fileName = $_FILES['imagefile']['name']; $fileSize = $_FILES['imagefile']['size']; $fileType = $_FILES['imagefile']['type']; $content = addslashes (file_get_contents($_FILES['imagefile']['tmp_name'])); $jeweltype = $_POST['jeweltype']; $jewelsize = $_POST['jewelsize_in']; $jewelcolour = $_POST['jewelcolour_in']; $jewelmaterial = $_POST['jewelmaterial_in']; $jewelgender = $_POST['jewelgender_in']; if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $fileName = addslashes($fileName); } // Checking file size if ($fileSize < 150000) { mysql_query ("INSERT into jewel_images (name,size,type,content,jeweltype,jewelsize,jewelcolour,jewelmaterial,jewelgender) " .

I am trying to get the names of countries that are in a database table. It's not working! All I get is a Submit button, but no data. This is what I understand from the code that Psycho suggested: I am unfamiliar with the function and the use of the FOREACH constuct. looking at the PHP manual there are two syntaxes. It appears that Psyhco has used the second form where the current element's key is assigned to $key variable for each itteration. foreach (array_expression as $key => $value The 2 variables he used are $id and $label I assume that the line: $optionsHTML = ''; is the array built from the expression: $optionsHTML .= "{$label}\n"; Because I was not familiar with the PDO method, but have used mysqli, I had to rewrite the data retrival part which I believe is OK. I guess that the line : $countryOptions = buildSelectOptions($countries); is used in conjunction with the function to build the array. The HTML part that Psycho wrote puts the variable into the Form format for a selection list. Why is the $optionsHTML also inclosed in the option tags? Have I got the HTML part correct or is it the data extraction part that is incorrect? Here is the code:
<?
include("AddStats_admin_connect.php");
//connect to database
doDB();
//Function to build select options based on passed array
function buildSelectOptions($options)
{
$optionsHTML = '';
foreach($options as $id => $label)
{
$optionsHTML .= "<option value='{$id}'>{$label}</option>\n";
}
return $optionsHTML;
}
//Run query to get the ID and Name from the table
//Then populate into an array
$clist_sql = "SELECT CID, Country FROM Countries";
$clist_res= mysqli_query($mysqli, $clist_sql) or die(mysqli_error($mysqli));
if (mysqli_num_rows($clist_res) < 1) {
//this Country not exist
$display_block = "<p><em>You have selected an invalid Country.<br/>
Please try again.</em></p>";
}
$countries = array();
while($Ctry_info = mysqli_fetch_array($clist_res)) {
$countries[$Ctry_info['CID'] = $Ctry_info['Country']];
}
$countryOptions = buildSelectOptions($countries);
?>

I am new to PHP and I have figured out how to populate a dropdown box with data from my database but now I want to create another dropdown box with data from my database but I want it to be data that depends on the data from the first drop down box. I am making code for a supply order for a website I am making for tafe and I filled in the first drop down box with the supplier names and now I want a second drop down box of all the products that that supplier is supplying us. I cannot for the life of me work out how to do this and I have no idea what to search to get this. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I will show you the code for my first dropdown box. Code: [Select] <?php $db_host = "localhost"; $db_username = "root"; $db_password = ""; $db_name = "ocs"; @mysql_connect("$db_host","$db_username","$db_password") or die("Could not connect to MySQL"); @mysql_select_db("$db_name") or die("Cannot find database"); $query = "SELECT ProductID FROM products"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); $dropdown = "<select name='products'>"; while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $dropdown .= "\r\n<option value='{$row['ProductID']}'>{$row['ProductID']}</option>"; } $dropdown .= "\r\n</select>"; echo $dropdown; ?> Thanks a lot -Teammuffin Hi, I'm trying to create a dropdown box that is filled by a mysql column. I found this example, which fills the dropdown box with a list of columns in the database, but I want to fill the drop down box with the content in a column. Any guidance on how to do this would be appreciated. Thank you!

Many kind regards Eoin [attachment deleted by admin] Hi Guys, I am a typical newbie with a twist, i program in VB, recently moved to PHP. I need help, preferable an example, but first let me explain what i have. I have a .tpl page that has 3 drop down boxes, one of these is populated from within the .tpl page itself. The other 2 i waant to pupulate from a SELECT on a database from a .php file. The .TPL file i have so far is:- Code: [Select] <style type="text/css"> <!-- .style7 { color: #006600; font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px; } .style14 {color: #003300; font-weight: bold; } .style16 { color: #000066; font-style: italic; } .style25 { color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; } .style28 { font-size: 12px; color: #330000; } .style29 { font-size: 12px } .style31 {color: #003300; font-weight: bold; font-size: 16px; } .style33 { color: #000099; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-size: 18px; } .style34 { color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 24px; } .style35 {font-size: 12px; color: #003300; } .style36 { color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; } .style38 {color: #003300; font-weight: bold; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; } --> </style> <script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <h1 align="center" class="style34">Scotbirds Alertz - Rare and Scarce</h1> <h3 align="center" class="style36">Soon Only VIP Members will be able to Access this Page</h3> <h3 align="center" class="style14">If you have seen something unusual / rare then please call it in on -- <span class="style33">Hotline: 0333 5772473</span></h3> <p align="center" class="style14"> <table width="90%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <?php print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; $the_date_filter = $_GET["DATE_FILTER"];?> <td width="1%"><td width="5%"><td width="2%"><td width="2%"><td width="2%"><form action="alertz_VIP.php" method="post"> <td width="2%"><td width="2%"><td width="5%"><span class="style38">Date</span><td width="3%"></td> <td width="12%"><span class="style14"> <select name=DATE_FILTER size="1" id=DATE_FILTER onchange="this.form.submit()"> <option value="All Dates">All Dates</option> <option value="Today">Today</option> <option value="Last 48hrs">Last 48hrs</option> <option value="Last week">Last Week</option> <option value="last month">Last Month</option> </select> </span></td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td width="7%"><span class="style16"><span class="style14"><span class="style31">Region</span></span></span></td> <td width="22%"><span class="style16"><span class="style14"> <select name=REGION_FILTER size="1" id=REGION_FILTER onchange="this.form.submit()"> <option value="AllRg">All Regions</option> <option value={REGION_FILTER}></option> </select> </span></span></td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td width="8%"><span class="style16"><span class="style14"><span class="style31">Species</span></span></span></td> <td width="20%"><span class="style16"><span class="style14"> <select name=SPECIES_FILTER size="1" id=SPECIES_FILTER onchange="this.form.submit()"> <option value="AllSpec">All Species</option> <option value={SPECIES_FILTER}></option> </select> </span></span></td> <td width="9%"><input type="Submit" name="submit2" value="Search" method="get" action="alertz_VIP.php" /></td> </table> <p> </p> <table width="870" border="1" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#99CC99"> <tr> <th width="178" class="style31" scope="col">Region</th> <th width="184" class="style31" scope="col">Species</th> <th width="96" class="style31" scope="col">Date</th> <th width="96" class="style31" scope="col">Time</th> <th width = "304" class="style31" scope="col">Comments</th> </tr> <!-- BEGIN alerts --> <tr> <th class="style7 style29" scope="col">{alerts.REGION}</th> <th class="style25" scope="col">{alerts.SPECIES}</th> <th class="style35" scope="col">{alerts.DATE} </th> <th scope="col"><span class="style35">{alerts.TIME} </span></th> <th scope="col"><span class="style28">{alerts.COMMENTS} </span></th> </tr> <!-- END alerts --> </table> <p align="center" class="style14"> </p> Now from here i expect the user to select a date from the date box, ( Ideally i would like the other 2 options to only become visible once a selection on the date has been made, i would also like to retain the selected in the date box once the form has been submited. Now the code i have for the PHP so far is quite long winded as my PHP skills are not so good, although i am learning fast.

I would greatly appreciate help with this and even more so for some example of what i am asking for so i can learn from them. Hi guys,
Does anyone know why my code isn't working?:
$servername="127.0.0.1";
$username="root";
$password="";
$dbname="testdb";
$connection = new mysqli($servername,$username,$password);
$result = "SELECT 'Country' from 'w'";
echo '<select>';
foreach($result as $res) {
echo '<option value="'.$res['Country'].'">' . $res['Country'] . '</option>';
}
echo '</select>';
}
There's not a credential issue, the table is called 'w' and the collumn I'm trying to get the values from is 'Country'
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,

Question: how can I take only the price on the Dropdown box "A" multiply the number in the Dropdown box "B"? Here is my code: Code: [Select] echo "<table border='1'>"; echo "<tr><td>"; $result = mysql_query("SELECT Chassis_Name, Chassis_Price FROM Chassis where Chassis_Form_Factor='ATX'") or die(mysql_error()); echo '<select name="Chassis" onChange="change()">'; // keeps getting the next row until there are no more to get while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) { // Print out the contents of each row into a table echo '<option Name="Chassis">',$row['Chassis_Name'],' ',$row['Chassis_Price'],' ','</option>'; } echo '</select>'; echo "</td>"; echo "<td>"; $result= mysql_query("SELECT Number FROM Quantity") or die(mysql_error()); echo '<select name="Quantity" Value="Quantity" onChange="change()" >'; // keeps getting the next row until there are no more to get while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result)) { // Print out the contents of each row into a table echo '<option Name="Quantity">',$row['Number'],'</option>'; } echo '</select>'; echo "</td></tr>"; echo "</table>"; ?> Hello there! I've been banging my head on this for a while and I just can't seem to get it to work properly. I have a dropdown menu which selects information from table1 using a select statement (this table is called 'lid'). It selects the firstname, lastname and member id from this table and shows it in the dropdown menu. I'm glad I got that part working but the hard thing is inserting the data that the user selects into another table. So when you select the id member from this dropdown menu it only inserts a blank row into table2 (which is called 'teamlid'). Can you guys help me? How can I insert the id member into my table2? What am I doing wrong here? Thanks a million! This is my first post so if I'm doing anything wrong, let me know and I'll fix it asap! My code:

Hello everyone, So what I'm trying to do is have a dropdown menu displaying a number of <options> for people to select and to update that selection to the database, easy enough right? But I want that option to be displayed as the "selected" option when the page is revisited or refreshed and I just can't figure it out!!! (Permission to bang head on desk?) It would seem like it sould be a really basic thing to do but it's got me completely and a lot of menus around the site are going to rely on this so I came to you guys for help. A simple example would be like the facebook edit profile page, the user selects whether they are Male or Female, the database gets updated and when you return the option you selected before is the one that appears as if selected="selected" had been done. I've tried everything I can think of (all be it from a learners perspective) with no joy, ive managed to get the database connection sorted, the tables done, the login with unique id $_SESSION, logout etc... so then when I got to this I thought... easy LOL yeah right. Some of this probably doesnt even make sense but I'll show you the kind of things I've tried... <select name="gender" size="1" id="gender"> <option value="male" <?php if ($gender == "male") {echo 'selected="selected"';} ;?>>Male</option> <option value="female" <?php if ($gender == "female") {echo 'selected="selected"';} ;?>>Female</option> </select> OR <select name="gender" id="gender"> <option value="" selected="<?php if (!isset($gender)) {echo "selected";} ;?>">Select</option> <option value="male" selected="<?php if ($gender == "male") {echo "selected";} else {echo "";} ;?>">Male</option> <option value="female" selected="<?php if ($gender == "female") {echo "selected";} else {echo "";} ;?>">Female</option> </select> OR <select name="gender" size="1" id="gender"> <option selected="<?php if (!isset($gender)) {echo "selected";} ;?>">Select</option> <option value="<?php if ($gender == "Male") {echo "selected";} else {echo "male";} ;?>">Male</option> <option value="<?php if ($gender == "Female") {echo "selected";} else {echo "female";} ;?>">Female</option> </select> OR <select name="gender" id="gender"> <option value="male"><?php if ($gender == "male") {echo "Male";} ;?></option> <option value="female"><?php if ($gender == "female") {echo "Female";} ;?></option> </select> Honestly man, I've got no idea. The other thing is, I have more than 1 dropdown menu in the same form (5 in total) and if I use 2 or more selecting different options as I go I get a blank screen. And one more, if I have selected Male and it updates the users row and I resubmit Male again it's blank screen time again, lol. Any help would be tremendous and greatly appreciated. Thanks very much, Learner P.S Man! Hi all, I'm trying to display a form based on a dropd own selection. The drop down is propagated from a database query. I have the drop down list displaying, but when I click submit, I can't get the result to display. Code: [Select] $sql="SELECT id, company_name FROM webprojects ORDER BY company_name ASC"; $result=mysql_query($sql); $options=""; while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $id=$row["id"]; $company_name=$row["company_name"]; $options.="<OPTION VALUE=\"$id\">".$company_name; } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>PHP Dynamic Drop Down Menu</title> </head> <body> <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="selected.php"> <SELECT NAME=id> <OPTION VALUE=0>Choose <?=$options.="<OPTION VALUE=\"$id\">".$company_name.'</option>';?> </SELECT> <label> <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" /> </label> </form> </body> </html> Any help is greatly appreciated I have found postings close, but not close enough to find my error. I am looking up data from a MySql table and putting it in a dropdown box on a form. I can select the item, but apparently not really. I am not able to echo it, or post it to a record. I'm sure I am missing something simple, but... Code attached if anyone can show me the errors of my ways. Thank you. Hi, I'm a php newbie, with some mysql experience. I have a mysql database as follows: Database=watch, Table=events - fields id, reportno, sdate, comments What I need is: 1. A dropdown list to display reportno from mysql database. 2.
