Combo/list Box Showing Values Selected
I have a combo box being populated dynamically through php using a mysql database, and everything works fine.
My question is: How would i make it keep the values selected, once the user hits the submit button? For example, let's say i have a combo box with the values 1 2 3 4 5 in it. The user selects Ɖ' and hits the submit button (which posts to the same page). At that point, i'd like the combo box to still have Ɖ' selected, instead of resetting itself.

Showing Selected Parent
In my CMS, I have parent and children categories in one level and in one table (id, name, subcat). What i would like to do is, in PHP of course: Upon editing a category, in a dropdown box, show selected, the parent of the category. if there is no parent, show selected, a message saying "Not a subcategory". In the selection though, still shows the parent options as possible selections. } Can anyone help show me the right direction I need to go with this? Do I need a join in my sql or do I need multiple sql queries? Moreso, how do I accomplish this after the query is completed? I am not sure how to go about this.. Code:

Showing What Was Selected In Drop-down Menu
I'm trying to create a form where the user inputs data, i validate it with php, and if some of the input is missing or invalid then i print out errors with the form filled out with the information they entered/selected previously so they can change/add to it.

User Selected Order Of List
My experience in php and mysql is just copying and pasting freebie scripts- very limited. I'm wanting to create or better yet find another freebie script which will in my real estate site on the page with a table listing properties with headings such as date/ type/beds/baths/price etc. users be able to click on a heading which will then list the properties according to the selected heading, so if they choose 'type', the page will refresh and show all houses or land or apartments according to type grouped together and so on. 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. But what php script? How complicated could it be?

Populating Drop Down List With Selected Vaue

Radio Button - Reading Pre Selected Values From Db
I am able to make a selection of information when entering a record, with radio buttons giving the option of yes, or no. Which stores their answer as yes, or no in the database. I then have an update record page that reads information in the database, and presently it will not retrieve the previously selected option from the database. I have tried all sorts of if else statements, and can't get anything to work. I want the previously selected option to be selected when they are entering the update page. Thus, they have the option to change it, but want their previous setting selected so they are aware of their currently selected option is. <td width="50%"> <input type="radio" name="ud_digdocs" value="Yes">Yes <input type="radio" name="ud_digdocs" value="No" checked>No

Rand() Returning Priviously Selected Values.
I am try to create a script that select a random entry in my DB and Then check a variable in that entry. If that varible is set the script will select a new random number. The only probem is that it sometimes it selects the same random number as the last time it went through the loop. This would be fine except Sometimes the condition is never met, and no entry is selected. I also can't make the script run till one is select since it will be eventualy set to a cron job.

Use A Button To Send Mail To The User That Is Currently Showing In The Drop-down List.
I am looking for suggestions for the best way to do this. I can hack it out to make it happen, but I thought I would make use of the expertise to do it the best way. I have a form with a drop-down list of users. I want to use a button to send mail to the user that is currently showing in the drop-down list. When this button is pressed, I want the user's default email program to come up with the email address of that person filled in. (the email addresses are in the database and can be retrieved easily). I can go to the process of having a separate mail form with a text box and gathering all the info and then using mail() to send it. Or, I can have the button exercise some code that runs separate window and exercises a mailto in the html area with the address filled out and then kills the window, leaving the user's email reader up there. Both seem rather cumbersome. Is there an easier way?

Dynamic Form - How To Set Values Of A List
I have a form with a list/menu in it that is populated with records from a database. The items in list#2 are based upon what is selected in list#1. I have been able to use a combination of php and javascript to get it to work, but the javascript reloads the page to get list #2 to refresh - and that clears out any other fields that have been filled in. Instead of javascript being called for the 'onchange' event for list #1, I'd rather it call php when list#1 is changed and so reset the values in list#2. OPTIONS: 1. I thought I could have a php function that is called (i.e. onchange="<?php reload();?>" but I can't figure out how to set the values of the list from within the php function.

Retrieve Array From FORM List Of Values?
I have created a form where a user selects 2 items from a list of 8 values. That form field is called "choices" and returns a value to the php file as $choices. This form posed no problem when I only allowed a single item to be selected, but the client now needs to have 2 items selected at a time. The problem I'm having is that I don't know how to turn the multiple selections on the form in to an array. I thought the $choices variable would automatically become an array, but Using[color=blue] > for ( $i = 0; $i<2; $i++ ) > echo "$choices[$i] ";[/color] only returns the first two letters of the last selected item value. And [color=blue] > foreach($choices as $articles) > echo $articles. ' ' ;[/color] Returns an invalid argument. While echo $choices returns the second item selected in the list, but not the first. It appears that the variable is replacing the first item selected with the second rather than returning an array.

PHP/MySQL Combo
How come sometimes I get the following error: Fatal error: out of dynamic memory in yy_create_buffer() in Unknown on line 0 My code works most of the time, its a combination of PHP and mySQL, i have no function named "yy_create_buffer". And the worst problem with this error message, is that when that error comes up, its the ONLY thing that comes up. Other error messages at least they show up inside my page and they say what I specify the error messages to say. This type of error message would look totally unprofessional on the site I'm developing and I'm curious is there anyway to prevent this or somehow pinpoint the cause. I'm starting to lose faith in PHP/mySQL . I'm starting to doubt whether the PHP environment is effective for a search engine which searches what will be a relatively large database.
