Here is the code: <form name="form1" method="get" action=""> <select name="select" onChange="form1.submit()"> <option value='value1'>My Value1</option> <option value='value2'>My Value2</option> <option value='value3'>My Value3</option> </select> </form> Now the form is successfully being submitted upon 'onChange' event. The only thing I am trying to do is to retain the value of the new option. As every time I select the value from the combo, it goes back and displays the 'value 1' even when I select value 3 or 2. How do I make the combo box retain the value as 3 (when I select option 3) after the form is submitted. Please reply. Thank you! Hi, I have set up 2 php pages page 1 - add_entry2.php In this page I have a invoice table created where I can dynamically add/delete rows. This has a View Bill button which takes me to page 2- add_entry3.php In this page it shows up the rows added in page 1 in read only format, so if the user wants to modify the data that he/she entered then he must Click on <back> that i have provided in the page 2 which will direct him to page 1 Now the problem starts here on click of Back the dynamically added rows dissappear..which is frustrating..I know its something to do with my code..but can anyone help me fix it. One more thing is that i dont want to store the data into DB till the finalise button is clicked on page 2 so that means till page 2 is submitted nothing goes to DB from Page 1. I am able to retain values if I use the code Code: [Select] <form action="add_entry2.php" name="eval_edit" method="post" format="html"> i,e if I submit back to the same page and retrieve values form $_POST but If I use the code Code: [Select] <input type="button" value="Back" onClick="history.go(-1);return true;">to get back to add_entry2.ph it looses all the values. Is there any other way to code the BACK link retaining my $_POST values(Do you think $_SESSION would work in this case?) I have created a query to show the subject name as a drop down box now I would like to you use value to compare what module available in the database. For now I can disaplyed all the module that is avilable for all the subject. But i would like to use the drop down box to gather which subject they have chosend then use this information to gather the module $query=("SELECT Tes_Name FROM User u, Subject s, Test t WHERE u.Use_ID = '{$_SESSION['ID']}' AND s.Sub_ID=t.Sub_ID "); <Html> <?php session_start(); $Value1 = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['myselect'])); $_SESSION['myselect'] = $Value1; //echo $Value1; include '../Database/connection.php'; ?> <body> <form action="Previousq_Module2.php" method="post"> <?PHP include '../Database/Module_Exsit.php'; $result=mysql_query($query) or die ("Unable to Make the Query:" . mysql_error() ); echo "<select name=select>"; while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo "<OPTION VALUE=".$row['Tes_ID'].">".$row['Tes_Name']."</OPTION>"; } echo "</select>"; ?> <input type="submit" value="submit"/> </form> </body> </html> Hi, I have a form for news articles. It has a title and a body which is fine. I also have a search box that allows the user to search for a memeber and click their name when it appears. This moves a div with a data-id into another div. The purpose of this is to tag them in the article. I am able to post all of the simple stuff but how would i post these value. I am assuming that i would need to create an array of said values but i am struggling to get them showing in post at all. Here is the code i have so far
<?php
function searchForPeople($searchVal, $exclude = '0'){
$sv1 = $searchVal;
$sv2 = $searchVal;
include 'includes/dbconn.php';
$out ="";
$stmt = $conn -> prepare("
SELECT fname, lname, id
FROM person
WHERE id NOT IN (".implode(',', array_map('intval', $exclude)).")
AND (fname LIKE CONCAT('%',?,'%') OR lname LIKE CONCAT('%',?,'%'))
");
$stmt -> bind_param('ss', $sv1, $sv2);
$stmt -> execute();
$stmt -> bind_result($fn, $ln, $pid);
while($stmt -> fetch()){
$out .= "<div class='btn btn-primary m-1 tagInArticle' name='taggedPerson[]' data-id='$pid'>$fn $ln</div>";
}
return $out;
}
?>
......
<div id="searchResultsHere">
<!-- ajax content here -->
</div>
<hr>
<div id="taggedInArticleContainer">

.......
<div class="col-lg-2">

<input type="hidden" name="howVisible" value="Private">
<hr>
<p class="text-justify">Private news articles will only be avilable to logged in users</p>
</div>
.......
<script>
$('#searchResultsHere').on('click', '.tagInArticle', function tagInArticle(){
var tagButton = $(this);
tagButton.appendTo('#taggedInArticleContainer')
});
$('#searchForPeopleBox').keyup(function(){
var searchVal = $(this).val()
var tagged = '0'
var tagged = $('#taggedInArticleContainer').find('.tagInArticle').map(function(){
return $(this).data('id');
}).get();
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
data: {"ajax" : 'one', "val" : searchVal, "exclude" : tagged},
success: function(resp){
$('#searchResultsHere').html(resp)
}
})
});

I hope this is enough to go on. I am sure it is simple but i just cant get it. Thanks all in advance. 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

I have a dropdown list named **Stockroom** where it displays an array of values. Example: **Stockroom** 1. [A] 2. [b] 3. [C] When user clicks on [A], it will display relevant data fields that [A] possess (appears below stockroom ddl). And as user clicks on [b], there is an onchange function that will then show [b] data fields (fields in A is deleted and replaced with B). I am able to add the initial values however, as i want to edit and change the stockroom from [A] to [b] which will result in a whole new data to be stored, i am unable to do so. Any ideas? I believe i have to amend my edit stockroom function where i require a set of coding such as If the array is selected, i have to delete existing data and add new data in accordance to the selected ID. Edited by mac_gyver, 14 January 2015 - 07:05 AM. code tags around posted code please I have an audio mix submitting form on my website. The first part of the form takes the details from the user and inserts a new row in the first table 'mix', auto incrementing to generate a mix_id primary key. The second part then uses a series of check boxes to select which genres the mix contains and a foreach for the resulting array to insert, into the 2nd table 'genres_for_mix', a new row for each genre id (foreign key for the genres table) that is selected and the mix_id that it concerns. Now I'm starting to think this is a bad way to do this because: 1. I don't know how to echo this out when a user edit's the mix to make all the relevant checkboxes selected. 2. When a user deselects a choice, it would be quite long winded to delete the nessesary row. So instead I'm thinking that it would be much wiser to user the serialise functions to put the array into the database However, I still don't know how to make the right checkboxes selected when I echo out the edit form. Do I use something like inarray()? If so how? Also, it's really important that I can query the database for mixes that are associated with a specific genre. Without unserialising the array and therefore echo'ing out all the results, I don't know how to query this. Would I just use a 'WHERE genre_field LIKE 'genre_id'? Can anyone help me with this please? 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.

Many thanks for your help Pete 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'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 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 Hello, any help would be greatly appreciated. I have two dropdowns with 2 options in each. Customer picks one option from each dropdown and the form gets emailed to addresses from the two selections. The code below gives and error. My form: <form method="POST" action="quote.php" onsubmit="return checkform(this)"> <input type="hidden" name="agent" value="recipient_1,recipient_2"> <input type="hidden" name="office" value="recipient_3,recipient_4"> <select name="agent" id="agent"> <option value="recipient_1">Agent1 </option> <option value="recipient_2">Agent2 </option> </select> <select name="office" id="office"> <option value="recipient_3">Location1 </option> <option value="recipient_4">Location2 </option> </select> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"> </form> quote.php is below: $recipients = array( 'recipient_1' => 'email_1@yahoo.com', 'recipient_2' => 'email_2@yahoo.com', 'recipient_3' => 'email_3@yahoo.com', 'recipient_4' => 'email_4@yahoo.com', ); $exploded_recipients = explode(",",$_REQUEST['agent']); foreach($exploded_recipients as $value) { $my_email = $recipients[$value]; $success = mail($my_email, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>"); } Thanks in advance Hi all I need to combine these two scripts: Firstly, the following decides which out of the following list is selected based on its value in the mySQL table: <select name="pack_choice"> <option value="Meters / Pack"<?php echo (($result['pack_choice']=="Meters / Pack") ? ' selected="selected"':'') ?>>Meters / Pack (m2)</option> <option value="m3"<?php echo (($result['pack_choice']=="m3") ? ' selected="selected"':'') ?>>Meters / Pack (m3)</option> <option value="Quantity"<?php echo (($result['pack_choice']=="Quantity") ? ' selected="selected"':'') ?>>Quantity</option> </select> Although this works OK, I need it also to show dynamic values like this: select name="category"> <?php $listCategories=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `product_categories` ORDER BY id ASC"); while($categoryReturned=mysql_fetch_array($listCategories)) { echo "<option value=\"".$categoryReturned['name']."\">".$categoryReturned['name']."</option>"; } ?> </select> I'm not sure if this is possible? Many thanks for your help. Pete |
