I have 2 queries that I want to join together to make one row  

Dear All,

I wish to have 2 drop down boxes, Country Select Box and Locality Select Box. The locality select box will be affected by the value chosen in the country select box.

All is working fine except that the locality select box is not being populated.
I know that the problem is in the sql statement

WHERE country_id='$co'

because i am having an error that $co is an undefined variable.

All the rest works fine because i have replaced the $co variable directly with a number (say 98) for a particular country id and it worked fine. In what way can i define this variable $co so that it is accepted by my sql statement?

Thank you for your help in advance.

MySQL Tables indicated below:

CREATE TABLE countries(
country_id INT(3) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
country_name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(country_id),
UNIQUE KEY(country_name),
INDEX(country_id),
INDEX(country_name))
ENGINE=MyISAM;

CREATE TABLE localities(
locality_id INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
country_id INT(3) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
locality_name VARCHAR(50),
PRIMARY KEY (locality_id),
INDEX (country_id),
INDEX (locality_name))
ENGINE=MyISAM;

Extract PHP script included below:

// connect to database
require_once(MYSQL);

if(isset($_POST['submitted']))

{

// trim the incoming data

/* this line runs every element in $_POST through the trim() function, and assigns the returned result to the new $trimmed array */
$trimmed=array_map('trim',$_POST);

// clean the data

$co=mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc,$trimmed['country']);

$lc=mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc,$trimmed['locality']);

}

?>

<form action="form.php" method="post">

<p>Country
<select name="country">
<option>Select Country</option>

<?php

$q="SELECT country_id, country_name
FROM countries";

$r=mysqli_query($dbc,$q) or
trigger_error("Query: $q\n<br />MySQL Error: " . mysqli_error($dbc));

while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($r))

{

$country_id=$row[0];
$country_name=$row[1];
echo '<option value="' . $country_id . '"';
if(isset($trimmed['country']) && ($trimmed['country']==$country_id))
echo 'selected="selected"';
echo '>' . $country_name . '</option>\n';

}

?>

</select>
</p>

<p>Locality
<select name="locality">
<option>Select Locality</option>

<?php

$ql="SELECT locality_id, country_id, locality_name
FROM localities
WHERE country_id='$co'
ORDER BY locality_name";

$rl=mysqli_query($dbc,$ql) or
trigger_error("Query: $q\n<br />MySQL Error: " . mysqli_error($dbc));

while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($rl))

{

$locality_id=$row[0];
$country_id=$row[1];
$locality_name=$row[2];
echo '<option value="' . $locality_id . '"';
if(isset($trimmed['locality']) && ($trimmed['locality']==$locality_id))
echo 'selected="selected"';
echo '>' . $locality_name . '</option>\n';

}

// close database connection
mysqli_close($dbc);

?>

</select>
</p>

<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /></p>

<input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="TRUE" />

</form>

Hi, what I want to figure out is for instance a person has registered with their country e.g. England. Now if I echo the country in a select box giving the person an option to change their country and Showing the person which currently they have selected already. The select box shows two England`s to select from. Could some one tell me how can I have one of each country and echo their already selected country from the database. I don't know how to explain any better what I am after but just basically there are two Englands showing one which is already selected (echoing from the mysql database)  and one is already in the select box.  Any help is much appreciated thank you.

Hi all,
Im trying to get the requested genre and compare it with the <SELECT> list to add the word SELECTED on the option.
So if the requested genre is the same as the option name them make that the SELECTED option.

Cheers.

Here's a bit of code I made that does not work
Code: [Select]
<?
function selected(){
if ($_REQUEST['genre'] = $name){
echo"SELECTED";
}}
?>

Gen
<SELECT class="sort" align="right" onChange="window.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
<option value="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" <?$name = ''; selected(); ?>>Any</option>
<option value="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>?genre=Action" <?$name = 'Action'; selected(); ?>>Action</option>
<option value="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>?genre=Adventure" <?$name = 'Adventure'; selected(); ?>>Adventure</option>
<option value="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>?genre=Animation" <?$name = 'Animation'; selected(); ?>>Animation</option>
</SELECT>
