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 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. The problem I'm having is setting my drop down menus to be selected when the form is returned instead of returning their original state. The menu I have is named A ($A). Here's an example of what I'm doing that isn't working: PHP Code:

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

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.

Combo Box Value On Page Reload
I am new to php and mySQL so this is probably something very basic that I'm missing. Basically, on the page I have 2 combo boxes but 1 of them is not getting the value passed when the page is reloaded so the database can be updated. I am echoing the field names passed and the field "theDriver" is there but it's empty. I've include the code parts where I believe the problem should be but I'm stumped and I've been trying to solve this for 2 days without success. Would someone mind examing the following code and tell me what I've done wrong? Following code constructs the combo box on the page from a MySQL table: <?PHP $table = "tblEmployees"; $Link = mysql_connect ($host, $user, $password); $Query = "select concat(empID,' ',empFirstName,' ',empLastName) as full_name from $table WHERE empTitle = 'Driver'"; $results = mysql_db_query($database, $Query, $Link); ?> <b>Driver:</b> <select name = "theDriver" size="1"> <Option Value=" ">Select One:</option> <?PHP for($u=0;$u<mysql_num_rows($results); $u++) { $driver=mysql_result($results,$u,'full_name'); ?> <option value="<?PHP echo($ID); ?>"><? echo($driver); ?></option> <?PHP } ?> //end php </select> When Page is reloaded the following code is run but the combo box titled "theDriver" is empty foreach($_POST as $field => $value) { echo $field; //field names from form echo "; "; if ($field == "theDriver") { echo " - here's the driver for ya: "; $$field = strip_tags(trim($value)); echo $$field; $pos = strpos($driver, ";"); echo "<br> the ; is in pos $pos <br>";.......

Add/edit Combo Form--opinions Wanted
I would like to use the same form for adding new records and editing existing records. New form values are contained in $_POST. Database values are contained in an associated array. It seems to me that in order to use the same form for both tasks, I need to assign the form field values to page variables. The flow might look something like this: if $_POST $variable1 = $_POST['field1']; $variable2 = $_POST['field2']; else if $rows $variable1 = $row['field1']; $variable2 = $row['field2'];

Multi Select Combo Box - Retrieving Data
I have a combo/listbox with "multiple" enabled in an HTML form and pass this to a PHP script, I should be able to access each item as $array_name[0] etc? Thats what my book says and what I've been able to track down on Google seems to agree, but the only element I seem to be able to retrieve is $entry_select[0] (from the form below) which contains the last value selected in the combo list. Attempts to select $entry_select[1] just result in nothing printed. Code:
Retrieve Data From Multiple Tables Via Combo
I am working on a small project to create a single web page which retrieves data from 3 tables. The first table is retrieved by a combo box. It only contains the primary key of the table. I know how to get the data in the combo. The second table contains other information, related to the primary key of table 1. I know how to retrieve all the data, but not how to retrieve only the data of the selected primary key. I think I should work with a WHERE clause in the SELECT statement, but I have no idea how to get to the selected value. The third table should work in a similar way, so when I have an answer for the second table, I can also use it for the third table.
List Contents Of A Folder, Make List Of Links
Does anyone know how I can write a script that: - reads in all the files in a particular directory - displays the file names in a html list and makes a link of them: <ul> <li><a href="filelocation1">filename 1</li> <li><a href="filelocation2">filename 1</li> <li><a href="filelocation3">filename 1</li> </ul> etc.? So basically it creates a list of links with the contents in that directory, so you can download them from there.
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?

Remember Selected Value DropDown
I am attempting to have a drop down menu that displays url from 1 table called links the same table also contains a name for the url. i.e. google.com = name and http://www.google.com = url The value of just the url from links is stored in a separate table called users in a field named search after form is submitted by user. Everything Posts correctly except when go back to edit the record and submit the form the drop down box does not retain the value of what had been previously selected although it is the correct record until form is updated when whatever value is currently in the drop down list will update the record. I know the code is doing exactly what it is told to do, because I have no functionality in it to recall the value from the field search in the users table. I don't know if it is something I would have to add to the array or option value. I can get it to work if it is all hard coded, but I am attempting not to do this. I am pretty new to php mysql and any help is greatly appreciated. This is the code I am working with that came mostly from a tutorial. PHP Code:
