How Do I Change The Drop Down List So The Option Selected Last Time Is Then The Current One Shown In The Drop Down Box?
I have a drop down list with the town options 'Bury' and 'Ipswich' as
shown below.
When selecting one of the options, its value is passed to variable
$townsearch.
How do I change the drop down list so the option selected last time is
then the current one shown in the drop down box?
<body>
<?php $townsearch = $_get['town']; ?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="get">
<select size="1" name="town">
<option>ipswich</option>
<option>bury</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="GO" />
</form>

Populating Drop Down List With Selected Vaue
I have a drop down box and the "selected" value needs to be selected by a dynamic value that gets entered into the database, this is currently how im doing it: PHP Code: <?php                 if($modify_row[21] == "0") {                   print "<option value=" "></option>";                   print "<option value="1">Active</option>";                   print "<option value="0" selected>In-Active</option>";                 } elseif ($modify_row[21] == "1") {                   print "<option value=" "></option>";                   print "<option value="1" selected>Active</option>"; Its fairly straight forward, basically the option that is automatically selected needs to be the one coming from the database $modify_row[21].

Selected In A Drop Down
I have two drop down menus. First one is location. When you change location page refreshes and comes with the selected area. So with the refresh,the second drop down changes to the sub-locations of the selected location. For example: Here is my code: <?php if ( ! isset($location) ) { $location="Bodrum"; } @mysql_connect ( "localhost", "root", "passwd" ) || die ("MySQL'e baglanamadim"); mysql_select_db ( "ceyhun" ) || die ("Veritabanýný seçemedim"); $sorgu=mysql_query("Select *from locations"); $sorgu2=mysql_query("Select *from sublocations where Location='$location'"); ?> ........

Drop Down Box With Select Option
I have a couple of drop down boxes which you select the option you want, that value is then stored in the database. If you make a mistake there is an edit option which once clicked shows the form with the information filled in/selected. However my problem is that when you edit, although the current option which was previously entered into the drop down box is set as the starting value, which is disabled, if you dont change the drop down box the value is deleted rather than held as it hasnt changed.

For example, if the user clicks on the link: layouts.php?submit=true&category=abstract The first and selected value in the drop down menu should be abstract Then the rest of the menu will pull from the database.

SQL Query Selected From A Drop Down Menu

Dynamically Selecting An Option In A Drop Down Menu

Show Selected Value For Drop-downs In Dynamic Menus
I frequently work with forms where menus are pulled from a database. When a user enters data in the form and then saves it, if it is retrieved later, the form shows the saved data, including the drop-down menus. The way I normally do this in php is to first retrieve the data for the saved from. Then I create the menus and within the loop of creating the menus I simply add the word "selected" into the results row which equals the saved option on the form. Code:

I populate a drop-down list like this: echo "<select>"; foreach ( $ip_list as $var ) { echo "<option>"; echo $var; echo "</option>"; } echo "</select>"; Is it possible to have the selection in the drop-down list default to a particular value?

A Dynamic Drop Down List
I need to create a dynamic drop down list. By this i mean that the webpage html form = select style will recieve all the values as based on a query to a mysql database. I have no problems quering the data base with PHP, But i need to make some kind of for loop that will add a new value to the selct form for each result from the database. my thought process go like this. 1. call data base to guery. (no problem) 2. make variable variables that will be created according to the number of results (these variables must be created according to results of query, not a problem i think) 3. make a form like this <form action = ***** method = post> <select name = ******> <option value = "This is a query result"> This is a query result> //This is the part i need to using a for loop and variable variables </select></form> so my problem is part 3, cause is this all done in PHP, or if i had all these variables, can i do this in HTML? Can i make a for loop in PHP that would break into HTML during these parts?

I tried using a script using javascript array but wherever I have a query that pulls the NAME from the database there's always a carriage return after the NAME which messes up the javascript array. I'd rather do it all with PHP if possible. If not please give me one that works and I don't have to spend hours troubleshooting.

Putting List Into Drop Down
I am working on a directory of businesses which has 8 main categories and each category has several sub-categories. Example: Dining is a Category with Pizza, Fast Food, Chinese, etc. I have the sub-categories brought up in just a list on the left side of the page and when the user clicks on a sub-category it takes them from client_list.php to client_filter.php only showing businesses in that sub-category of the main category. So only pizza places listed under dining. However, I want to change the list to a (form) select box and then have the user click on the sub-category they want and then it takes them to the client_filter.php page to list only those bussinesses in that sub-categorie. So after that long explanation how do I change my code to do that. Here is my current code:

Folder List Drop-Down
I am developing a PHP/MySQL project and as part of my initial setup and configuration scripts, the users can select a skin for the application, and a variable value ($skin) is updated to set the current skin, this works ok on it's own, but currently the user must manually type the skin name in a free-text box. Ideally this needs to be a drop-down option box, and I would like this to be populated by listing the sub-folders within the '/skins' folder, so that it's always up to date. The folder structure looks like this: /skins /skins/skin1 /skins/skin2 /skins/skin3 How can I use PHP to generate a list of the current sub-directories in 'skins' and populate the drop-down list?
