Dynamic Dropdown And Hardcode Dropdown In Select Form
I have plenty of examples of dynamic dropdown choices but none of hardcoded dropdown choices. The ultimate goal is to have a job with various tasks and to track the status of those tasks for a given job. I've used one of the tutorials here to begin the process. Below is the code I have to add work on a given task. Perhaps I actually need to "Update" a job as opposed to "add".

But the problem of the moment is I can't seem to hardcode one set of my options. This is the code I have: PHP Code:

Dynamic Dropdown
This may be rudimentary but I'm just trying to get my head around this without having to write a billion lines of extraneous code. I have a dropdown selection list, populated from a mySQL database, containing times in a HH:MM:SS format. The times are 30 minutes interval spanning an entire day, as in 01:00:00, 01:30:00, 02:00:00 all the way to 24:00. I have it entering fine into the database, but when I want to edit this time, I'd like to have the value in the database be marked as the CHECKED value on the dropdown so I don't have to manually re-enter the time for every edit.

Dynamic Dropdown Lists
I am recoding a greeting card website.

I am using dropdowns as filters for items in a DB, so when the user picks "animals" from the "theme" dropdown, the returned cards all feature animals, and when the user picks "birthday" from the "message" option, the returned cards all feature birthday cards.

However, there are some combinations that don't return any results, for example "get well" "floral" cards. Code:

Dynamic Fill Form Fields Depending On Dropdown Box
This question has probably already been asked, but let me ask again

I have a mysql database to which I connect with my php scripts. The
database contains articles. Name, Unit_Price and Reference

Now my client needs to order 5 items, click a button and a table with 5
lines and 3 columns appears (until now easy)

In the first column is a drop down box with a <select > and <options> in
which I store all possible names.

I would like than whenever the client changes one of the boxes (in my
case there are 5) the Unite_Price column and Reference column in the
line he just choose get automatically updated

Creating Dynamic Page Based On Dropdown Selection?
I'm using Dreamweaver, but I believe this is a general PHP/MySQL question. I have a table, with 4 fields: id, year, car_make, car_model. The data looks like this:

1 1992 Honda Civic
2 1994 Ford Probe GT
3 1999 Audi S4
4 2002 Porsche 959

On my web page, I have a drop down list that's propogated automatically with the "car_model" field entries which are pulled from that table. So when I click the down arrow, I see Civic, Probe GT, S4 and 959. Code:

Data Entry Form With Dynamic Dropdown Boxes
I am working on a Form for user to register & enter their info such as name, email, address, tel etc. and I put in a couple of dropdown boxes namely country and city where user can select. I made them dynamic, i.e. the city dropdown is based on the selected value from country and the data retrieved from MySQL database.

The problem I have is the Javascript script involved a reload of the form and once I select a value from Country, the city dropdown populated with data OK but the data entered beforehand (Name, email, etc.) disappeared.

Dynamic Content In A <div>, Using Php
i have a <DIV> block, and I want the innerHTML to change at the click of a button. for those who don't know some javascript, if you have a dive with an id, <DIV id="myDiv"></DIV> you can change the content inside with a function call

myDiv.innerHTML = "some stuff";

however, i need my data to come from a mySQL database and thus needs to be outputted via php. so ideally i want something like

myDiv.innerHTML = "<?php echo "some stuff"; ?>";

of course that does not work because php is not client side, this is just to illustrate what i want. any ideas on how to do this without iframes?

Dynamic Link/Content With PHP

'ID' is a unique field. Any ideas on how I can use PHP to generate a
list of the titles which are links. When you click on a link you are
taken to a page with the content held in the database. I'm guessing the
generated links would be something like /page.PHP?pageid=x based on the

Copyrights And Dynamic Content
Has anybody here ever copyrighted a dynamic website? I'm an internet publisher and my website stores small business ideas and related information in a mySQL database. We add content (our own) to the database almost daily.

I'm not asking for legal advice, just seeing if anyone has done this and how they went about it (i.e., worked with a lawyer, filled out the forms through US Copyright office, used a copyright service, etc).

The closest guidance I could find from the US Copyright Office is contained in Circular #65 - Copyright Registration for Automated Databases (http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ65.html). However, their definition of an automated database is the compilation of pre-exisisting materials or data into an original form. Not sure where original content fits in?

If anybody does have experience with this, the follow-on question is, how frequently must follow-up copyright submissions be filed to accomodate the expanding database.

Java, Dynamic Web Content, Serialization, Web Dev
I noticed a post that mentioned PHP does a better job of dynamic web
content than java and wanted to see what people have to say about that.
Also, I saw it mentioned that in PHP you don't have to mark objects as
serializable and sessions are more transparent with or without cookies.

I've done some java but am mainly a C++ programmer at this point, but
want to start reading up on web development. I have to find my big
thick Java book, someone may have borrowed it. I got into doing alot of
perl for automated testing and started reading perl/CGI, various perl
web stuff and PHP books.

Maybe I should go back and focus on Java more, and then see if I want
to play with PHP. Can you find free web hosting that has perl/java/php
support ? Is it worth building my own web server with Apache ? I am
mainly interested in furthering my programming skills. I would think
getting an apache web server running would give me more admin skills.
That might be good if I wanted to do my own freelance work. I would
like to be able to have a flexibale work schedule, do some part time
work etc. I'd also have to buy another computer probably to install
apache on.

Is the difference between Java and PHP sort of like the difference
between C++ and perl ?

Split Dynamic Content PHP Or Javascript
I have been working on a new site for ages trying to come up with a good way to cleanly split up content using PHP or Javascript.

Basically what I want to do is split dynamic content that includes links in to certain length chunks and not just cut off the string in the middle of a link. The length will be determined by the current users font-size.

Is there a PHP function that does this by any chance or do you know of one, javascript also.

Php Meta Descriptions With Dynamic PHP Content...
I have been very interested in using dynamic (db driven) meta page descriptions. I know that search engines use these at a minimum these days, but will they be able to read these dynamic descriptions. I guess I am not sure how these spiders work... Do they simulate users bwosing the site or are they indexing them by scanning actual files (in which case dynamic meta tags would be pointless).

Sockets To Serve Dynamic Content
I know it is possible to send a web page to someone's browser through the socket as a response to their connection. Let's say the page you serve them has a link with GET variable attached or a form with POST variables, and you want to use that information to calculate your next response to them. How does one go about doing that?

I've tried just using $_GET['variable'], etc within the php script but no luck with that, however when the user first directs the browser to the socket, they are sending headers.

Am I supposed to use regular expressions, etc to parse the headers and extract the information from get and post or is there some easier or better way to do this?

I've seen lots of examples from google on how to send a response on the socket from telnet, but nothing about how to create some sort of browser interactive response. Any body able to help out with this?

Cached Pages And Dynamic Content
I am currently building a caching mechanism into my own development framework.

Basically whenever a page that is marked in the DB as cacheable is requested the controller creates the cached version of the page and returns it , on subsequent requests the cache is displayed.

Whenever a content change is made in the DB the relevant cached page is deleted ready to be rebuilt & cached with the new content on the next page request.

Thats fine for many pages , some pages are too dynamic for caching to be useful (shopping carts for example);

.................

The issue I am grappling with is .....

A product information page, mostly static and perfect for caching , but lets say the user has something in thier shopping cart I want to also show a 'checkout' now link or change the 'buy now' links to 'add to cart' etc.

e.g. some small content will change and so I can't use the existing cache.

Create And Dispose Dynamic Content
I am trying to figure out how to have a script dynamically create and then dispose of a text file. A script will generate a text file using the standard I/O functions and then present a link so the user can right-click and download. That part is easy. The file could be created in a unique directory on the server for each user such that different users don't clobber each other.

How can I make sure the file is later removed if the user backs out of the page and doesn't explicitly logoff. I suppose it boils down to is there a way to write a script that gets executed when a session ends whether the user explicitly logged out or not.

Creating Dynamic Content For A Website

Dynamic Content - Writing DB Info To A Page
I'm writing a website that works on similar lines as a dating site, where end users can enter their details and what they want to sell, which is then submitted on to a webpage, any people that are interested in that product, contact us and we then pass the lead to the person who is doing the selling. So basically teh site is acting as a middle man.

I have done the database bit where the end user enters his details, we get emailed his details and his id (which is a an auto increment field) then there is a page called view.php which pulls up his details on a web page and there is then a submit and decline button. Teh decline button is the easy part, but the bit that I'm stuck on now is the submit part. And thus here is my question how do i write information that is held on a database to a webpage.

Typo3: Generate Dynamic Website, Show Only The Pages That Include Content
i want to create a web form where someone can do some input or pick
strings from select boxes. after that the person can click a preview

should use typo3. first of all i created a html-template. then a page
tree with all the sites that could possibly appear. in the end only the
sites with content, will be shown. all of this must happen
automatically. so i need a php script or a typoscript that compares the
"pages" table with the "tt_content" table. after that the attribute
"hidden" in the "pages" table should be "true" for the pages that
doesn't contain any content.

does anyone have an idea if this is possible or if typo3 is the right

Use A Content Type Application/zip, And A Content Disposition With The File Name (test.zip)
I was able to use Ethor's suggestion to fix a problem I'm having. My
original problem was that I was missing the quotes around the
filename in the CD header. I've read the ensuing dialog between Ethor
and JD and have a question/comment driven by the fact that things
don't seem to work for me the way they're "supposed to" and I wonder
why.

I use a content type application/zip, and a content disposition with
the file name (test.zip) just like JD suggests. But it only works if
the HTTP request ends with ".zip".
My request is
http://a.b.c.net/cc/production.php?file=123&zip=.zip
I get a valid zip file downloaded, but the filename isn't the filename
in the CD header - its cc.zip.

Furthermore, if I make the request
http://a.b.c.net/cc/production.php?file=123&zip=
(no .zip on the end, which is what I wanted it to be), it doesn't work
at all. The dialog box that pops up is making the filename
?file=123&zip=

(Note: I'm using IE as the browser. My server is remote from where I
am, and I go through all kinds of route point and a VPN to get to the
server. Also note that this works when I browse to my local machine.)

I've tried various combinations of application/zip, octet-stream,
lower/upper case, quotes/no quotes, order, etc. All have the same
result described above. The only two headers I specify in PHP are the
CT and the CD.

I making a SWAG that some device between my browser and the remote
server is monkeying around with the request and/or response headers.
Otherwise why would the response headers that my PHP application has
correctly applied? Is there something in the Apache or PHP
configuration I need to look at?

Using The 'Content-type', 'Content-Disposition' And 'readfile'
I've been facing a problem I couldn't solve, I don't know how to serch for it in the list's old messages, so I'll tell you what it is and see if you can
help me. I have this lines:

if (isset($_GET['download']) && ($_GET['download'] >= 1)) {
if ($_GET['download'] == 1)
header('Content-type: application/doc');
else if ($_GET['download'] == 2)
header('Content-type: application/rtf');
else if ($_GET['download'] == 3)
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $_GET['file']
. '"');
readfile($_GET['file']);
}

It should show to the user an dialog to the user, so he can choose to
save the file or to open it directly. The dialog shows and the user chooses, and here comes the problem, by using the 'Content-type', 'Content-Disposition' and 'readfile' the content of the page I'm in is "attached" to the end of the file I'm downloading. When it's an DOC or RTF file, the content of the page
doesn't affect the funcioning, but if it's an PDF the string taht goes
"attached" in the end of the file happens to make the file useless.
All I want to do is to use some routine to let the user choose to save
the file or to read it directly, nothing more, nothing less.
I have been trying to solve this problem for at least some weeks, and
I couldn't find some information that could really help me.
BTW, at php.net I found the following example:

<?php
// We'll be outputting a PDF
header('Content-type: application/pdf');

// It will be called downloaded.pdf
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="downloaded.pdf"');

// The PDF source is in original.pdf
readfile('original.pdf');
?>

I used (as can be seem) this example with some modifications, but not
too much, and it happens that it's useless for my needs, if someone
knows how to fiz it or some other way to do what I want please let me
know, I'll be very grateful.
