Detect What Option The User Selected And Then Direct That User To The Selected Page.
Quick question regarding HTML forms and select fields. I want to be able to detect what option the user selected and then direct that user to the selected page. <select> <option name="1">1.html</option> <option name="2">2.html</option> </select> when the user selects, 1.html, it'll direct them to http://www.domain.com/1.html same with 2.html. I wasn't sure if this was done with PHP or Javascript, if its possible on both, which is better?

PHP And A Pre-selected Option In A Form
I've got a little text editor thing on my site, and to open a file, you input the file name and choose the folder from a drop-down list and click the Open button. The default filename is "index" and that file keeps track of all the files contained in that folder. It works okay. What's annoying is that regardless of what folder you're messing around in, the drop down list always goes back to showing the default folder name as the page is reloaded. I want it to be preselected to the folder it's in. It seems simple enough--the folder you're in is $_GET['dir']. But I've read some HTML form how-tos, and I can only see that you can preselect using the tabindex="" or selected attribute.

Set The Selected Text For Option Box Of A Menu..
Having major issues with this simple task, and I cant work out why its not doing as it should/expected. Basically, ive got a drop down box with the added bit of php: <select name="title" id="title"> <?php if($_SESSION['title'] != "") { echo '<option value="'. $_SESSION['title'] .'" selected="selected"></option>' } else { echo "<option value="" selected></option>"; } ?> <option>Mr</option> <option>Mrs</option> <option>Miss</option> <option>Ms</option> <option>Dr</option> </select> Basically, if the user submits a form, the title is stored in the session, this works fine, and then when returned to the page, the value should be filled in. Yet, when they return to the page, there value they selected is not shown in this box, instead, theres just a gap. The source seems correct, and this is whats shown: <select name="title" id="title"> <option value="Mr" selected="selected"></option>

Multiple Select Box With Selected Option ...
first of all I have three tables (tournament_game, umpire_game, umpires). Updating tournament_game umpires, each game may have from two to four umpires, and those umpires can work from one to n number of games, that's why I'm using connection table umpire_game. I'd like to get selected multiple select box of umpires in game, it could be two to four options, with all umpires listed as options example: <select name=umpire_game[] size=10 multiple> <option value=$umpire_id>$umpire_name</option> <option value=$umpire_id selected>$umpire_name</option> <option value=$umpire_id selected>$umpire_name</option> <option value=$umpire_id>$umpire_name</option> <option value=$umpire_id selected>$umpire_name</option> <option value=$umpire_id selected>$umpire_name</option> PHP Code:

How To Get Form To Remember Selected Option?
I am now trying to make a form remember which color (a select list) they selected before pressing any of the submit buttons. I entered this code into the form: <select name="color"> <option value="red">red</option> <option value="blue">blue</option> </select> The submit is a GET type. For example, if the user selects blue and then clicks on either one of the "submit" buttons, I want the form to remember/show the blue option. Right now the select list always goes back to red, the first choice. I tried doing a <?php echo $red; ?> and <?php echo $blue; ?> for the option value, but this does not work since the select list needs a value.

Select Option Stays Selected
I have a normal drop down menu: <select name="status" class="db_list_text"> <option value="All" selected="selected">All</option> <option value="True">Active</option> <option value="False">Inactive</option> </select> The idea for this is for the user to select either true or false and then to click submit to find data that matches either one. The coding is in the same page so the form basically just reloads the page and grabbes whatever info is requested. How can I with PHP, make it that the dropdown stays on the selected option when the page is reloaded?

Get The Option Selected Once I Have Submitted The Form.
I am using the following code to loop 12 months backwards from the current month in a drop down list - using the get method. I'm having difficulties trying to get the option selected once I have submitted the form. For example, I am using this to filter months, so once a month has been selected and submitted, the first option in my drop down list is displayed and not the one that was selected and submitted. So basically, I need to be able to select a month > hit submit and when the form returns, have the drop down list show me the selected item. Code:

PHP/MySQL: Query Based On Selected Form Option
Using PHP and MySQL. Trying to put a list of categories into a drop down select option of a form like: <form name="form" action="<? print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="get"> <select name="subject"> <option value=""></option> <option value="field1">Field 1</option> <option value="field2">Field 2</option> </select> <input type="submit" name="Submit" /> </form> Then I want to process it so the MySQL query gets done depending on what was selected. I came up with this: //connect to database mysql_connect("$dbhost","$dbuser","$dbpass"); mysql_select_db("$dbase") or die("Unable to select database"); // Build SQL Query if (isset($_GET['subject'])) { switch($_GET['subject']) { case 'field1': $query = "select * from tips where category = 'field1'"; break; case 'field2': $query = "select * from tips where text like 'field2' "; break; default: echo 'No subject found' } } $results=mysql_query($query); $numrows=mysql_num_rows($results); etc etc etc But that switch doesn't seem to work. Anyone have a suggestion as to how I can code this to do the MySQL query based on the subject?

Php Selecting Problem - Show Selected Value When Going Back
In my pages i have a select list. For example the visitor has 5 options (including the default :D ). So here they are: the default -> location; first option -> USA; second ->FR ; third -> IT; forth->SW Let's call this script script1.php In this script i want to check if there are no errors, i mean i want to see if the visitor choose a valid location (USA, FR, IT or SW ) and not the default one. Now if the user select didn't select a location (equivalent to selected the default value) the same script after is executed will will echo an error message. If the user choose a valid location the the action will be script2.php which will echo the message: "You live in $location." Now there is one more thing to ask. If the visitor goes back from script2.php to script1.php i want to apper in the location field the selected option and not the default one. How is this possible?

Show Selected Value For Drop-downs In Dynamic Menus
I frequently work with forms where menus are pulled from a database.

The way I normally do this in php is to first retrieve the data for the saved from. Then I create the menus and within the loop of creating the menus I simply add the word "selected" into the results row which equals the saved option on the form. Code:

Default Menu/List Option
I'm trying to create a form with three menus, each with the same values, and I have no problems there. Each menu has it's initial value set at "None" and then the rest of the values are pulled from my MySQL db. Everything works great if the user selects three values that came from the database or selects something from the first menu but not the other two and then submits. The problem is when the user doesn't select anything from the first menu. The next page reads the form value as "" instead of "None" but only for the first menu. The other three menus work fine. I know this isn't really php related, but this is usually such a helpful forum that I thought I'd post here before I start to search for some helpful html forum. Answers would be greatly appreciated, but so would corrections for my terminology (which I think I am confused about) or a good link to a place where I should be asking this question.

First I think I need to have a link on the heading buttons to activate a php script which will send info to mysql database and if the database is configured right through the admin area it will respond accordingly.

Get List Of Messages From One Table, Message List Indicator From
I have two tables. One has a list of messages left by users using fields named mbxno for the mailbox and msgno for the message number. I have another table that has mailbox settings for each user that contains a field named "messagelist" to indicate if they want to be included on the message list or not. What I'm trying to create is a list of the most-recent messages with a lookup on the users table to indicate whether a message in the list should be included in the message list based on the user's mailbox settings. SELECT messages.msgno, messages.mbxno, users.messagelist FROM messages, users WHERE (users.messagelist = Ƈ') ORDER BY msgno DESC LIMIT 100 What I'm getting, though is a list that looks like this: mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1 mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1 mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1 mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1 mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1 mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1 mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1 mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1 I think what's happening is that I'm using the wrong type of join and more rows are being created than necessary. If I add "DISTINCT" to the query, I get a list of the most-recent messages as I expect, but the "messsagelist" value is sometimes wrong (again, probably because the data is getting jumbled). For example, the messagelist value for the second row (2214) should be 0, not 1. mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1 mbxno: 2214 msgno: 0412141622 msglist: 1 mbxno: 2189 msgno: 0412141408 msglist: 1 mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1 mbxno: 0003 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1 mbxno: 2265 msgno: 0412132029 msglist: 1 mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412131950 msglist: 1 How should I be doing this? If nothing else, what kind of join will work with a long list compared to a value from a short list?
