Dynamically Selecting Default From Dropdown
I have a dropdown menu with 17 options that I want to use to edit a mysql entry. Before I edit it though I want to load the value of that particular mysql column as the pre-selected value in the drop down. Whats the best way to accomplish this. I figured I could write 17 if than statements but thats seems a bit tidious especially if I have more then 17 options. I'd preffer to have the code written out for the options and just add in the selected statement if possible. PHP Code:
<select name="country" id="country">
                <option value="1">CAN</option>
                <option value="2">USA</option>
                <option value="3">RUS</option>
                <option value="4">CZE</option>
</select>
If the result for country = 1 I'd like to add the selected code to the option.

Dynamically Selecting Option
I am creating a member edit page, I have 3 select boxes on this page. 1 of the options in each select box will be stored in the database. This member page will be a dynamic page dedicated to the member the user clicks on. Hope I haven't lost you yet (I tend to do that) Now this is an example of one of the select statements. option 1 option 2 option 3 option 4 Now if option 3 is what is entered into the database I would like that to be showing when the user clicks the page. So the option in the database I would like to be the default option.

Use Strcmp To Edit A Dynamically Generated Dropdown...
I've written a code that runs a 'SHOW DATABASES' query on my mysql server and lists the results(the names of the databases on my server) in a dynamically generated dropdown box, and it works just fine, using the following code: echo "<select name='databaseselect'>"; $dblist = mysql_query('SHOW DATABASES'); while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($dblist)) { echo "<option value='$row2[0]'>$row2[0]</option>"; } echo "</select>"; The problem is that it lists ALL of the databases on my server - that's two of my own user-created databases, and the two default databases that come with the mysql server - 'information_schema' and 'mysql'. What I want to do is to, after running the 'SHOW DATABASES' query, eliminate those two databases from appearing in the dropdown box, because I don't want anyone to see them, as they're useless to anybody else.

Dynamically Selecting An Option In A Drop Down Menu
I have a database with a couple of fields that only have a certain number of options. I have a page where a user selects 1 record and updates it. When i query the database and retrieve the data in that particular field, i want that value to be automatically selected in a drop down menu(since there are a finite number of options and this will prevent the user from putting in bad input which would screw up searching).

[PEAR:QuickForm] Dynamically Change A Dropdown Menu According To Another Menu?
I've been using QuickForm for a few months now and I am now given a new challenge: I've got a search form with a dozen of dropdown menus, the first dropdown menu being "Brand". If you select either Brand A, B, C, D... Z, the second dropdown menu "Model" must be dynamically changed to model AA, AB, AC, AD..., according to the models manufactured by the brand selected in the first box. I've seen that done on quite a few sites, but never found if QuickForm had a quick & clean way of doing that.

Dynamically Populate Drop-down List And Dynamically Include Html File
We have a drop down list on a PHP page, with several product names, and when people click one item, we will refresh the same page with the product name as parameter, and in turn we want to include a HTML file into the content area of the same page. I know it is recommended to put everything into database, but we want the web site to be very "portable", so the drop-downlist and the content should both in text files. Let's say the drop-down list will be poplulated from the product.txt file, and there will be a file for each corresponding item in the drop-down list. From the user point of view, if he wants to add a new product, he will just need to open the product.txt file, and add a new line with the product name, "Laptop", then add a new text file named "laptop" in the same folder which contains the HTML fragment to be included in the content area. What is the easiest way to do this?

Magic_quotes_gpc On By Default In PHP 4.3.3?
Prior to upgrading to PHP 4.3.3 (Windows), magic_quotes_gpc was turned off in the php.ini file. However, when I upgraded, I told the installer overwrite my previous php.ini files. I didn't have anything special in my previous version of php.ini and I wanted a clean slate. After I upgraded to 4.3.3, I noticed that my scripts were acting strange, specifically form input. I checked php.ini and found that magic_quotes_gpc was turned on. I unzipped the installer exe and upon inspecting the php.ini, I found the default php.ini included had magic_quotes_gpc On. I thought they were going to set magic_quotes_gpc off by default in the later versions. Anyone know why they did this? Was it a mistake?

Default Charset
When not specifying the charset in a php script, which one is used by default? A php server seems to have a default charset setting (see phpinfo below of my host's server). Code: php core default_charsetno value Apache Environment HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 HTTP Headers Information Accept-Charset ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 HTTP Headers Information Content-Type text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Though this one seems to have a default charset setting of none, does the http headers information mean that any website or php script accessed with the browser's address bar gets a iso 8859-1 by default anyway?

Set Default Value To The Same Value As Another Field
Basically I have a 'Date Entered' field, which defaults to the timestamp of the date a new record is entered. I also have a 'Last Updated' field - so when a new record is added, these would be the same - so would like 'Last Updated' to default to 'Date Entered'. I've tried just entering 'DateAdded' or "DateAdded" as the default in phpMyAdmin, but it doesn't like it.

Default To NULL
table product products_id, products_name, icon_1, icon_2. table icon icons_id, icons_name When I display a product, I may display some icons (0-2) with that product. So I have the above produc and icon table set up. In the product table, icon_1 and icon_2 will hold the icons_id from table icon, if there is an icon at that position. icons_id is smallint (Auto Increment key value). To me it is the same. Both value will never be the icons_id of table icon, which will mean no icon will be shown. What is your suggestion? In general, in this case, the samillint value will not be used in any calculation, only will be used to refer to another tables auto increment key. When it is EMPTY, should I set it to 0 or should I set it to NULL?

Default Select Tag
I have a config file editor page that should read the config file, then automatically select a <option> from a <select> tag. I dont want to have to write an if-else statement for each line in the config file(there are over 200)and I came up with 2 ways to do this and was wondering which would be easier and less cpu intensive. 1) Create a loop for each config option, and check on each step in the loop for what should be 'selected' by default. 2) Make a function to check. EX: (checkifset prints out selected="selected") <option other stuff checkifset('config_option','value1'); >Value 1</option> <option other stuff checkifset('config_option','value2'); >Value 2</option> <option other stuff checkifset('config_option','value3'); >Value 3</option> It seems that option 2 would be easier to code(since I already have the html coded out), but it may also be more cpu intensive.
