Changing Text On Page Via Dropdown Box.
I have a webpage that draws various text decriptions from a mySql database. The description displayed on the page is controlled via a dropdown box. Currently I am using Javascript with a dropdown box (onChange handler) to change the value of a textbox.
Can anybody think of a way that I don't have to use a textbox(with its' scrollbars and background)? How can I change the value of a php variable by changing the selected index of a dropdown box?

Mysql Dropdown And Text Box Scenerio
I have on my web site a facilty where a user can change their trainer name. So 'bill' can change trainer from 'trainer1' to 'trainer4'. that kind of thing. Currently bill would select the trainer from a dropdown menu where the menu is populated from a mysql statement of available trainers. How would I create a facility where bill can either select the new trainer from the list or enter an entirely new one in a text box.

Refresh Only One Dropdown Box On A Page
I have a form with many fields and a drop down box called fruit. Lets say it has three choices: apple orange banana. If the choice is not on the drop down box e.g. grapes the user clicks a link to a new table called add_fruit to add the new fruit and details about the fruit. On submit I want to close the add_fruit table and go back to my original form - refresh only the dropdown box "fruit" - so now the user can pick grapes.

Changing Db Within Page
I have a php page that flips between dbs and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't... e.g. the first query runs from this db, the second query runs from a different db and then the third query runs from the first db again... the first query will run, the second query will run, but then the third query will not. Each time that I switch to a query that calls a different db, I used include_once "db_whatever"; before the query, thinking that, that would work, but it doesn't... Is there something I need to do to kill the previous db connection prior to moving onto another one?

Getting The Text From A Web Page
I need to take a web page and parse the text from the site. I am thinking of using regex to kill the script and style sections, then strip tags or more regex to kill the reset of the non-text. I need to have the text categorized as sentences, so I some how have to keep track of how it is grouped with other text. I have two questions: 1) What do you guys think is the best way to do this? Regex, explodes, iteration, building a DOM structure, callbacks? 2) What would the regex look like if I wanted to find <, then any number of whitespace chatarers, then the word script, then anything except for (<, possible whitespace, /script, and then anything until >). Put another way, how can I match the style section of a document?

Does anyone know how this would work with AJAX. I have never touched AJAX unfortunately.

Extract Only Plain Text From A Page
Basically, what I am trying to do is write some PHP code that will automatically take text from any web page and eliminate all the HTML, CSS, and JS codes and formatting, leaving only the plain text from the page. I got my code started, but I have hit a snag with javascript and css codes. This is what I have so far: <?php $geturl = $_GET["url"]; ob_start(); include($geturl); $page = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); $output = ereg_replace('<script.*.</script>', ' ', $page); $output2 = ereg_replace('<style.*.</style>', ' ', $output); $plaintext = strip_tags($output2); echo $plaintext; ?> The strip_tags function automatically removes all html tags, but it doesn't do anything to javascript and css because html code is not provided between the beginning and end tags, whereas javascript and css codes are both contained within two separate tags, like this for more clarification: html: <div name="htmltag">Keep this text here</div> javascript: <script>function somejs() {remove all this code}</script> As you can see, the text between the div tags should stay, but the js between the script tags should be removed because it is code. I then tried the ereg_replace function to get rid of js and css codes, but there is a problem when there is more than 1 piece of js or css code. The wildcard value (.*.) skips over any ending script or style tags until it reaches the last ending tag, therefore deleting all the text between the two pieces of code. Example: <SCRIPT>function somejs() {remove all this code}</script> //removes all text and code from beginning here KEEP ALL THIS TEXT HERE <script>function somejs() {remove all this code}</SCRIPT> //to end here Now finally down to the question, is there any way to only remove the js and css code between the beginning tag and the immediate next ending tag? Or is there any other way to get rid of the javascript and css codes?

Display A Text File On A Web Page

When it comes up in the browser it seems to loose tabs and the format gets messed up. This is how I display the file. $show = file("./fields/combined/$cdp$store"); $arrayitems = sizeof($show); $x=0; while ($x < $arrayitems) { print("$show[$x] "); $x++; } If I edit the file it has ^M at the end of each line if it matters. Does anyone have a better idea as to how to display it?

Custom Text When Opeing A New Page

But getting into the swing of things I'd kinda want to make it look a little nicer and easier for our guests. The next step I want to do is this: I have a list of gifts, when someone clicts on an item I'd like it to open the contact form (as it does now) and Have a thank you message which mentions the gift Automactically include the gift text in the message that is emailed.

Include() - Store The Text In The Index Page
I have a index.php page that has some text on it and I also have a edit_index page. From edit_index you can edit the text on the index page. But I don't want to store the information in a database or a text file but instead want to store the text in the index page. Since the index page is PHP i made a variable at the top named $index_content and that holds the current text. What I want to have happen is for me to be able to, from edit_index, is edit the variable with the new text. So when I hit submit on edit_index I want it to call up index.php and redefine the $index_content variabled stored in the page. But i don't know how to write to a page like that when it's not apart of the script being executed. I tried require(), but that didn't work, and I tried include() but that didn't work either. Is there some way to do this that i'm not aware of?

Text File To Popup Or Open In A New Page
I have a form which takes user input. On submit, the form will run a php script that will create a new text file using the user input. I want this text file to popup or open in a new page. The problem is that when the page opens it still shows the old text file, i need to hit refresh for it to show the last user input. the html file (greatly simplified): <html><head> <title>Untitled</title> </head> <body> <form action="action.php" method="post"> <p>Title: <input type="text" name="Title" /></p> <p><input type="submit" /></p> </form> </body> </html> The php file (simplified as well): <?php $spot_code = $_POST['Title']; // Open the file and erase the contents if any $fp = fopen("myfile.3dml", "w"); fwrite($fp, "<TITLE NAME=" . '"'. $spot_code .'"'. " /> "); fclose($fp); //redirect header( 'Location: http://localhost/mytest/myfile.html' ); ?> the text file, myfile.3dml is embedded in myfile.html (it requires a plugin to view - it's a 3D world). When myfile.html is opened it displays myfile.3dml but it needs to be refreshed to show the current input.
