PHP - Retain Selected Item From Drop Down List After Php Validation
Hi all,
I am trying to validate all required fields in my contact form using php.
However I am unable to retain what was selected in my country dropdown list after it is selected and submitted if the form had errror while validating. I want the form to retain the value that was selected by the user to stay in the form so that users can make necessary changes and resubmit the form all other values stay in the form except the country dropdown. Please help Below is the code.

Edited by Ch0cu3r, 15 July 2014 - 03:37 PM. Reformatted post Similar TutorialsI have several drop down boxes. When submit is clicked it execute query on another page. Problem is when submit is clicked selected values are return to defaults. Is it possible for the values to be remembered after submitting them? Part of the drop down code: Code: [Select] <?php $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM product GROUP BY Rim"); ?> <select id="Rim" name="Rim" selected="selected" style="width:158px;position:static;z-index:-1;"> <option value="rim" selected="selected"><?php echo "Rim"; ?></option> <?php while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "<option>" . $row['Rim'] . "</option>"; echo "<br />"; } ?> </select> i have the following code: <td width='100px'>Suppliers <select name="supplier"> <?php $catcher_id = $service->getCatcherId(); $supplier_names = LpmAdnetworkPeer::getByName($catcher_id); foreach($supplier_names as $row) { ?> <option><?php echo $row->getName(); ?></option> <?php } ?> </select> </td> then on the same form i have a submit button that takes me to the next form..the problem now is how can i access the ID of the item seleted in the dropdown on the NEXT form please? i can get the name from the list by $_POST['supplier'] on the next form thanks Hi I have a list of states using the array method in a form. The drop down menu works fine. I want to save the user choice,if the form is re-displayed due to a blank field or pattern mismatch. I know I can use the selected=selected, but don't know wher to put the statement: My array is: state_province = array ("list of states", "provinces") Var in my labels array is "state"=>"state" Here is my code for the select/option statement: { if($field == "state") { echo "<div class='province_state'><label for='state' size='10'>* Province/State</label><select>"; foreach($state_province as $state) { echo "\n<option value='$state_province' /> "; echo $state ; echo "</option>"; } echo "</select></div>\n"; } ?Is this the correct code to add and where would I add it? if(@$_POST['state'] == $value) { echo "selected='selected' "; } I have a script that seems to work well to insert a bookmark into a users database when he/she is logged into the system but I am having a hard time figuring out how I would go about making a work-a-round for having an item selected before being logged in, and inserted after they have logged in or registered. For example, I would like a user to be able to select an Item to add to bookmark whether that user is logged in/registered or not and if they are not, they would be greeted with a login/registration form and after successful login the add bookmark script would be initiated on the item previously selected. What I've got this far: Simple form to add bookmark: <form name="bm_table" action="add_bms.php" method="post"> <input type="text" name="new_url" value="http://" /> <input type="submit" value="Add Bookmark"/> </form> Then I have the add bookmark script: BEGIN php $new_url = $_POST['new_url']; try { check_valid_user(); //cannot get past this part since it ends the script....code below if (!filled_out($_POST)) { throw new Exception('Form not completely filled out.'); } // check URL format if (strstr($new_url, 'http://') === false) { $new_url = 'http://'.$new_url; } // check URL is valid if (!(@fopen($new_url, 'r'))) { throw new Exception('Not a valid URL.'); } // try to add bm add_bm($new_url); echo 'Bookmark added.'; // get the bookmarks this user has saved if ($url_array = get_user_urls($_SESSION['valid_user'])) { display_user_urls($url_array); } } catch (Exception $e) { echo $e->getMessage(); } END php Checking valid user - the portion I cannot get past in the above script: function check_valid_user() { // see if somebody is logged in and notify them if not if (isset($_SESSION['valid_user'])) { echo "Logged in as ".$_SESSION['valid_user'].".<br />"; } else { // they are not logged in do_html_heading('Problem:'); echo 'You are not logged in.<br />'; do_html_url('login.php', 'Login'); do_html_footer(); exit; } } How would I go about modifying the script so that a user could fill in the form (later it would be a link...obviously they probably wouldn't be filling in a form that is log-in specific - but same concept I think) Thanks in advance for the help! tec4 I have a php form which shows all comments of the webpage stored in the database. When i click on the edit button the corresponding 'comments' datas should appear in the textarea. how can i do this, pasting my piece of code $query="select *from comments order by id desc"; $result=mysql_query($query); echo "<table width='700' align='center' border=1><tr bgcolor='green' align='center'><td><font color='black'> SlNo </font></td><td><font color='black'>Comment</font></td><td><font color='black'> Date Posted </font></td><td>Edit/Delete</td></tr></b>"; while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { $d=$row['0']; $id=$row['0']; $name=$row['1']; $date_uploaded=$row['2']; echo "<td>$id</td><td>$name</td>". "<td>$date_uploaded</td>". "<td><a href='edit_comments.php?id=$id'>Edit </a></td>". "</tr>"; } echo "</table>"; } if(isset($_GET['id'])) { $id = $_GET['id']; mysql_connect('localhost','root','') or die("Cannot connect to the Host"); mysql_select_db('sample') or die("Cannot connect to the Database !!"); $query = "SELECT comments FROM comments_tble WHERE id = '$id' "; $result = mysql_query($query); $row=mysql_fetch_row($result); echo"<input type='text' col id='edit_comments' value='$row[0]' width='250' height='10' >"; exit; } Hi, I'm coding a page that starts with a select list loaded from a database and I want to make a different query depending on the item selected, I have been searching around and I can't find a php version of the selectedIndex of a listbox in javascript, any idea? thanks.
At the moment I have an sql query which retrieves an item and it's latest comments and it works well but I am now struggling to get it to output properly. My query is as follows:- Code: [Select] SELECT DISTINCT @rowtype:='1' AS rowType, //Type of row post or comment s.id AS rowId, //used as the 'grouper' to group posts and their comments s.id, s.body, //text of the post s.date, s.aboutItemId, //id of the attached item u1.id AS u1_id, u1.username AS u1_username, u1.name AS u1_name, u1.surname AS u1_surname FROM z_posts AS s LEFT JOIN z_users AS u1 ON s.id1 = u1.id UNION SELECT @rowtype:='2' AS rowType, l.id2 AS rowId, l.id, l.body, l.date, l.id1 AS u1_id, NULL AS u1_username, NULL AS u1_name, NULL AS u1_surname FROM ( SELECT id2, COALESCE( ( SELECT id FROM z_postComments li WHERE li.id2 = dlo.id2 ORDER BY li.id2, li.id LIMIT 14, 1 ), CAST(0xFFFFFFFF AS DECIMAL)) AS mid FROM ( SELECT DISTINCT id2 FROM z_postComments dl ) dlo ) lo, z_postComments l WHERE l.id2 >= lo.id2 AND l.id2 <= lo.id2 AND l.id <= lo.mid ORDER BY rowId DESC, rowType ASC, date DESC What I want is to output the posts as lis in a ul with the comments for each item in their own ul within each post li so it looks like this:- <ul> <li>Post2 <ul> <li>Comment 2 on post 2</li> <li>Comment 1 on post 2</li> </ul> </li> <li>Post1 <ul> <li>Comment 3 on post 1</li> <li>Comment 2 on post 1</li> <li>Comment 1 on post 1</li> </ul> </li> </ul> How can I create this this via php? I've followed a few tutorials, as I've never touched drop down before (more of a conventional navbar guy ). But none are dropping the nested list :-\. I even took the code from one, no changes made, and it still didn't drop the menu
This is as far as I got on this tutorial (http://line25.com/tu...s-dropdown-menu) before coming here

I have a server script with which i have allowed the user to mark any item as favorite, but i also want another script through which the user can unfavorite the same item if they want and that item should be deleted from their favorite list. I have kept the same table for both favorite and unfavorite code, therefore i have used update query to update the details. For this purpose i have a code, but its not working, as i am new in the programming field would appreciate if someone could provide the correct codes
<?php
require_once('config.php');
$favorite = $_REQUEST['favorite'];
$unfavorite = $_REQUEST['unfavorite'];
$id=$_REQUEST['id'];
$unfavoritedeal=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM favoritedeals where id='".$id."'"); //favoritedeals is the name of the table
if($row=mysql_fetch_array($unfavoritedeal))
{
$favorite=$row['favorite'];
$unfavorite=$row['unfavorite'];
}
$myfavorite=(isset($_REQUEST['favorite'])?$_REQUEST['favorite']:$favorite);
$myunfavorite=(isset($_REQUEST['unfavorite'])?$_REQUEST['unfavorite']:$unfavorite);
$update = mysql_query("update favoritedeals set favorite = '".$myfavorite."', unfavorite = 1 where id = '".$id."'");
if(unfavorite="1" where id='".$id."')
{

0 downloads i skipped solving this the other day with an easier way but now i am stuck with this stumble again in another area and i have no way out.... so here it goes, i have an ajax dropdown box...i need to get the value that is selected by the user when it is clicked and then pass this value to a new pop window by appending to its url....any suggestions? Hi all.
how can i make the values show like a list. I tried html line break "<br>" and php \n but all to no avail. It just show all the values in one straigth line.
example of what i want is for the values to appear like this:
1234567890
0987654345
4567890675
instead of :
1234567890 0987654345 4567890675
Thanks

Edited by Mr-Chidi, 13 November 2014 - 01:34 AM. Hey guys, im trying to make a dropdown box get a selected value based on the value from multiple rows. Here is what im trying to do: <?php // select the value from the database // $value = ... ?> <form action="..."> <option value="1"<?php if ($value == 1) { echo ' selected="selected"'; } ?>>First</option> <option value="2"<?php if ($value == 2) { echo ' selected="selected"'; } ?>>Seccond</option> <option value="3"<?php if ($value == 3) { echo ' selected="selected"'; } ?>>Third</option> <input type="submit"> </form> The thing is I have no idea what to put at the top and how to assign the $value part. Here is my current code. <?php mysql_connect("localhost", "", "")or die("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db("test")or die("cannot select DB"); $tbl_name="test_mysql"; $sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name"; $result=mysql_query($sql); $count=mysql_num_rows($result); // MOVED this code to the top before you output anything if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) { for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){ $month = $_POST['month']; $date = $_POST['date']; $message = $_POST['message']; $title = $_POST['title']; $id = $_POST['id']; $icon = $_POST['icon']; // ILYA $monthday= $month[$i]."<br>".$date[$i]; $sql1="UPDATE $tbl_name SET monthday='$monthday', month='$month[$i]', date='$date[$i]', message='" . mysql_real_escape_string($message[$i]) . "', title='" . mysql_real_escape_string($title[$i]) . "', icon='$icon[$i]' WHERE id=".$id[$i]; // ILYA if(!($result1 = mysql_query($sql1))){ "<BR>Error UPDATING $tbl_name "; exit(); } } } $result=mysql_query($sql); $count=mysql_num_rows($result); ?> Here is the selection dropdown box im trying to make work: <select name="icon[]" style="display:blolck; width:200px" class="mydds"> <option value="1" title="icon/icon_phone.gif">Phone</option> <option value="2" title="icon/icon_sales.gif">Graph</option> <option value="3" title="icon/icon_faq.gif">Faq</option> </select> The thing is, it gets multiple rows at once and I want to make it select each one differently based on the rows value. I dont want it to like interfere. Do you kinda know what I mean? Also, heres hows the database looks like. Picture of webpage. Here is the full code if anyone would like to see: <?php mysql_connect("localhost", "", "")or die("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db("test")or die("cannot select DB"); $tbl_name="test_mysql"; $sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name"; $result=mysql_query($sql); $count=mysql_num_rows($result); // MOVED this code to the top before you output anything if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) { for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){ $month = $_POST['month']; $date = $_POST['date']; $message = $_POST['message']; $title = $_POST['title']; $id = $_POST['id']; $icon = $_POST['icon']; // ILYA $monthday= $month[$i]."<br>".$date[$i]; $sql1="UPDATE $tbl_name SET monthday='$monthday', month='$month[$i]', date='$date[$i]', message='" . mysql_real_escape_string($message[$i]) .

Many thanks for your help Pete I've got a HTML drop down box as similar to this: <select name="dropdown"> <option>Option 1</option> <option>Option 2</option> <option>Option 3</option> </select> If I run a mysql query and get a result of "Option 3", is there anyway using PHP to give Option 3 the selected value? Hi, A quick question please , I am trying to assign a selected index to a drop down list based on data retrieved from the database. I tried using JavaScript : document.getElementById('Country').selectedIndex ='".$array['Country']."'; but it does work. Any suggestion? I have a form that contains 3 text fields and 7 populated lists (that are dependent on the choice of the previous lists). When I post the information to MySQL and to my processing page, it posts the table "ids" instead of the selected option. Here's the php code for the form: <form action="gccsuccess_form.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="gcc" id="gcc"> <table width="700" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3"> <tr> <td><label for="date">Today's Date:</label> <input type="text" name="date" id="date"></td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Week Number: <select name="week" size="1" id="week"> <option value="0" selected>Week 0 - 3/26 - 4/1</option> <option value="1">Week 1 - 4/2 - 4/8</option> <option value="2">Week 2 - 4/9 - 4/15</option> <option value="3">Week 3 - 4/16 - 4/22</option> <option value="4">Week 4 - 4/23 - 4/29</option> <option value="5">Week 5 - 4/30 - 5/6</option> <option value="6">Week 6 - 5/7 - 5/13</option> </select></td> <td><label for="location"></label> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Location: <select id='locations' name='location'> </select></td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="label8">Team Name</label> <select id='team_names' name='team_name'> </select></td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><em>*Please enter each team member's first and last name:</em></td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="mem_1"> Team <strong>Captain:</strong></label> <select id='team_members 1' name='capt'> </select></td> <td><label for="label4"><strong>Steps:</strong></label> <input type="text" name="steps_1" id="steps_1"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="mem_2">Team Member #2 <strong>Name: <select id='team_members 2' name='mem_2'> </select> </strong></label></td> <td><label for="label5"><strong>Steps:</strong></label> <input type="text" name="steps_2" id="steps_2"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="mem_3">Team Member #3 <strong>Name: <select id='team_members 3' name='mem_3'> </select> </strong></label></td> <td><label for="label6"><strong>Steps:</strong></label> <input type="text" name="steps_3" id="steps_3"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="mem_4">Team Member #4<strong> Name</strong>: <select id='team_members 4' name='mem_4'> </select> </label></td> <td><label for="label7"><strong>Steps:</strong></label> <input type="text" name="steps_4" id="steps_4"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="label">Team Member #5<strong> Name</strong>: <select id='team_members 5' name='mem_5'> </select> </label></td> <td><label for="label7"><strong>Steps:</strong></label> <input type="text" name="steps_5" id="steps_5"></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td><em>* Maximum steps for each team member per week is <strong>105,000. </strong></em></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td><input type="submit" name="Submit Form" id="Submit Form" value="Submit"></td> </tr> </table> <label></label> <div align="center"><br> If you have questions about the competition or reporting please contact KC WELLNESS, INC toll free at <SPAN id="lw_1237248942_0">877-634-1412.</SPAN><br> <br> </div> </form> And here's the code for the page it is posted in: <?php $date = $_POST['date']; $week = $_POST['week']; $location = $_POST['location']; $team_name = $_POST['team_name']; $capt = $_POST['capt']; $mem_2 = $_POST['mem_2']; $mem_3 = $_POST['mem_3']; $mem_4 = $_POST['mem_4']; $mem_5 = $_POST['mem_5']; $steps_1= $_POST['steps_1']; $steps_2= $_POST['steps_2']; $steps_3= $_POST['steps_3']; $steps_4 = $_POST['steps_4']; $steps_5 = $_POST['steps_5']; mysql_connect("mysql1.myregisteredsite.com", "49200_kandace", "Leonardo56") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("49200_GCC") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_query("INSERT INTO `walkathon` VALUES ('$date', '$week', '$location', '$team_name', '$capt','$mem_2','$mem_3', '$mem_4', '$mem_5', '$steps_1','$steps_2', '$steps_3','$steps_4', '$steps_5' )"); Print "Thank you for your entry. <br> Report summary: <br/><br/>"; echo "<strong> Date: </strong> {$date} <br/> <br/><strong> Week: </strong> {$week} <br/> <br/><strong> Location: </strong> {$location} <br/> <br/><strong> Team Name: </strong> {$team_name} <br/> <br/><strong> Team Captain: </strong> {$capt} / <strong> Steps: </strong> {$steps_1} <br /> <br/><strong> Team Member 2 Name: </strong> {$mem_2} / <strong> Steps: </strong> {$steps_2} <br /> <br/><strong> Team Member 3 Name: </strong> {$mem_3} / <strong> Steps: </strong> {$steps_3} <br /> <br/><strong> Team Member 4 Name: </strong> {$mem_4} / <strong> Steps: </strong> {$steps_4} <br /> <br/><strong> Team Member 5 Name: </strong> {$mem_5} / <strong> Steps: </strong> {$steps_5}" ?> How do I get the processing page to echo the selected option instead of the id? Hi everyone, I am having trouble passing/displaying the values inside of a selected list. I created a add/remove list using Jquery and I tried to display the values passed using foreach and for loops but it is still not working. The values I am trying to get are $existing_mID[$j], which is inside of the option value attribute. Please kindly let me know what should I do in order to get the values and I really appreciate your help.
<?php
$selected = $_POST['selectto'];
if(isset($selected))
{
echo "something in selected<br />";
for ($i=0;$i<count($selected);$i++)
echo "selected #1 : $selected[$i]";
foreach ($selected as $item)
echo "selected: item: $item";
}
?>
This is the formHi all I am trying to get my drop down menu to use a session variable as the selected menu option. Here's my code: echo "<option value=\"\">Delivery Area</option>"; $selected = ""; if(isset($_SESSION['postal_area']) && $_SESSION['postal_area'] == "England") { $selected = "selected"; } elseif(isset($_SESSION['postal_area']) && $_SESSION['postal_area'] == "Wales") { $selected = "selected"; } elseif(isset($_SESSION['postal_area']) && $_SESSION['postal_area'] == "Scotland") { $selected = "selected"; } else { $selected = ""; } echo " <option value=\"England\" selected=\"".$selected."\">England</option>"; echo "<option value=\"Scotland\" selected=\"".$selected."\">Scotland</option>"; echo "<option value=\"Wales\" selected=\"".$selected."\">Wales</option>"; echo "</select>"; However, this shows the 'Wales' one all the? Please help! Many thanks Pete |
