Autopopulating Drop Down Not Saving Unless A Selection Is Made
I have a form that autopopulates and allows user to make changes where necessary. In this form are some drop down menus (hardcoded on the page). All the selections (50 states for example) are there. If I select a state it will then post to the database. If I don't select a state and just leave it as the previously selected state (not change the selection already made by a user) it puts a blank in the database.
Examples:
The <?="$rest_state_pr"?> will pull the state the user selected previously. If I change the slelection it saves the new selection, but if I leave it as the "default" It puts a blank in the database. Code:

Saving Selection In Drop-down Lists In PHP After Page Reload?
I can't find an answer to my quesiton anywhere. Given a drop-down list with USA states and other text fields I pass this information for further processing via PHP. If any of the required fields is empty, the PHP script would return an error and reload the form page asking to fill out those fields. All entered information is saved... except for the drop-down list selection. I tried to write a Javascript function which is echoed by PHP, but interpolation of PHP variables in the Javascript section gives a syntax error message in Javascript. The PHP script returns, e.g., an "AL" string for Alabama. Of course, I don't want to write PHP code for each option to make it selected.
Remember Drop Down Box Selection
Is there a better way to do it than i currently am using? Simply echos the value in the selected option that will otherwise be blank, so this makes it impossible for the user to select no input. Code:

Filtering Selection In Multiple Drop Down Boxes
I want to allow a user to conduct a search on a database using multiple drop down boxes. On the first page they will have a drop box filled with records from field A. Once they select which one they want, a second drop down box will then appear with records from field B which are present for field A (a filter). What I want though is that the first dwon down box still appears on the second page, but shows the record that the user selected. What is happening now is that when the second page comes up, the first box shows the default selection rather than the selection that the user chose. My code for the drop down boxes is: PHP Code:

I have developed a form to register a property in a db. The form needs the selection of a country and then based on that selection the selection of regions from the selected country.

Ready-Made Website Tools?
In the same way that you no longer need to write your own shopping carts, Id like to not write other common PHP features of websites. Specifically I am looking for an open source user management package (registration, login, account management) with a nice clean interface that I can just drop into my website. I figure this would be preferable to writing it myself as it will be better tested and more secure. In general I am looking for pointers to collections of PHP tools that we can just drop in to our websites to perform common functions.
Drop Down Lists Changing Depending On Other Drop Downs

Sort Search Results - Query Made From Form Variables
I have created a search engine with multiple search fields, the results.php page shows the results. My question is, how can I allow the user to sort the results (name, description, price etc), simply by clicking on the column title. This wouldn't be a problem if the SELECT query was constant - just add a $var at the end where ORDER BY should be, but how can I do this when the SELECT statement is made up of $_POST VARS? Surely if I reload the page with the sort command, it will have forgotten the $_POST vars that made up the query? I have searched EVERYWHERE for help on this PHP Code:

Selection Box Via Selection
Basically I have a selection box which gets it's values from a database once this is selected the selection box's below will get the correct value from the above selection box which again comes from the database. The first selection box works by refreshing the current page and adding a variable to the file for example instead of useraddnew.php it would be useraddnew.php?maintcat=5 but the number 5 only gets set the second time you choose from the top selection I hope some one can help sorry if I explained it poorly. Code:
Date Selection

Set date variable to current date, select all records from database where database date is >= current date.
Selection Of Ajax Lib ?
I m working on an PHP based site where in UI I need to use ajax funtionalities ... I just want some opinion from experts that which LIB is best for usage. I was wondering that using XMLHTTP is sometimes a bottleneck for cross browsers application. Different libraries are here but not sure which one to select.
Database Selection
I created two web database applications - first one is the company news system (as part of the company pages), second one is the company data presentation system (part of the company pages, too). All (unfortunately) the M$ environment - NT or 2003 server. The first app is managed from the web interface, the second app is managed by database client win32 app (created by PowerBuilder, std client-server approach, ODBC). For the second app I need to create the web presentation interface now (no data modifications, heavy sql queries :-( ). The first app contains only small amount of data (10 database tables, max 100 rows in the largest table) but the second app contains large number of tables, more than 100000 rows in major part of tables, very sensitive company data, requires sophisticated and intelligent db engine strategies for queries, ... For the first app I wanted to use MySQL, for the second one I wanted the Sybase SQL Anywhere. But now I am in doubt. I'm playing with the idea to substitute the Sybase SQL Anywhere by the PostgreSQL or MySQL. I need all the SQL decorations (stored procedures, stored functions, triggers, declarative referential integrity (foreign keys), ...) I'm playing with the idea to unify the database environment (use only one db engine and two databases, not two different db engines for two databases), too. Is the MySQL or (preferably-IMHO) PostgreSQL database engine stable, robust, safe, ..... in order to use it for these company very sensitive data, for heavy data mining app, ... ? Is it safe to unify the database engine types and use only one engine for these two apps/dbs? Can I rely on the MySQL and/or PostgreSQL engines? Do you suggest me to use (one of/both) these two db engines for the main company data presentation database?
Multiple Selection
I have a form that grabs reords from a mySQL database and presents the information in a nice pulldown menu. The client now wants that little menu to be a list that you can select multiple resords from (this is a brochure request for - the list has a max of 12 pieces). I know how to get the form to look the way I want, but when I parse the form with the little app I wrote in PHP that varifies the data entered, checks feilds, and then enters it in a mySQL database for tracking purposes - there is only one record in the database - even though there were more that one records selected. Now I am simply entering $properties (the variable of the menu feild) in the the INSERT statement of my database query - do I need to parse the records selected first - what am I doing wrong...?
Seperate Selection
I am trying to select data stored in a database as u can see and it gets dispalyed. But my problem is I need to beable to select each item individually instead of all at once or 1 item only.

Selection From A List Box.
php and have to implement this functionality to select a user from a list box. I have written the code for this, but the problem is after selecting a name and doing the required task, it again selects the first entry in the list box. So if there are 100 users, the 100th one has to scroll down again and again. I need to modify this code so that until the session expires, if a person has selected his name once, that name will be selected in the listbox until he changes it. <select name="name" style="width: 120px;"> <?php $query = sprintf("select * from person order by person_name"); $result = mysql_query($query); $i = 0; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $i++; printf("<option value="$row[person_num]">$row[person_name]</option>"); } ?> </select>

Random Selection Of String Value
Please tell me how I can randomly select a string from a limited set of string, and then use it in links. With equal probability, suppose half the time I want to form a link to domain.com/1234/page.htm and half the time I want to link to domain.com/5678/page.htm . I would like to be able to put something into my link such as: domain.com/<?php ... WHAT GOES HERE? ... ?>/page.htm If possible, I'd like to use a method that will put either 1234 or 5678 into a variable, so that, once it's randomly chosen for a document sent to the browser, then numerous references to that same string value can be used on the page.

Selection Of Records In List
I was wondering how to query MySQL to display only a selection (1-20, 21-40) of a query in an HTML list. Can that be done in an SQL statement, or do you have to use PHP to dissect the returned array with for n elements to n+20 elements. How does Google achieve the returning of results in its search engine. I imagine that the same query may not necessarily be executed each page listing. I am wondering whether the results from the query would return an array of say 36000 elements.
Make Selection In Array
I have this array: name => john, age => 45, profession => teacher name => hank, age => 22, profession => student name => mary, age => 36, profession => dancer etc. etc. It's going to be a big array. Now what i wonder, how can i do the following; while( $array['name'] == 22 ) { do something. } I want to prevent the following: while( $array ) { if( 'name' == 22 ){ do something } } Because this would create a big loop everytime.
Default Selection From Query

Multiple Lists Selection
I am using a simple registration form that i made with the toolbox, but when I come to a multiple list to choose from (populated from the database) it doesn't work correctly. Of course, out of the multiple items selected only the last one gets inserted. From what I have read, the selection must be turned into an array then looped for this to work. Is this correct? Next how would I code this to work right. If you let me know which code to post, I will post it.
How To Combining 2 Db Fields Into One Selection?
In my db I have 2 fields: first_name and last_name & I want to combine these 2 fields in my drop-down menu. What I have now is showing only the first_name -- I know that it needs to go into the third option in here, I'm just not sure how to get both of them into it. I can get the first_name OR last_name, but not combined. Code:
Multiple Selection Lists &
I have 2 multiple selection lists. I am using javascript so that users can select items from list 1 and move them to list 2. When the user submits the form I need my php to get the values he has/she has in list 2... I have done printf($_POST['list_2']) and it only shows one value, even when multiple are selected. I read that I need to change it's name to list_2[] but if I add the brackets to the name my javascript quits working.
Form Selection Target
I would like to design 1 php page where a dropdown list will appear. depending on the user's selection, it will go to the next dropdown list (the list will appear only after the first dropdown is selected) and so on.. .. at the end, a textarea box will appear that will display all the variables that the user have selected. How do I go about in making that happen?
