I want the list to highlight the multiple chosen values. here is part of the code. $dresscat = specdresscat($dresstypeid); //this is the query to get the values in the detail table $drcatrow = pg_fetch_array($dresscat);// the array for the detail table. <select name="stages[]" multiple="multiple"> <?php $allstages = allstages(); // this is a function to query my database to get the value for the list. while ($allstagerows=pg_fetch_array($allstages)) { $eachstage= $allstagerows["stageid"]; $specstage= $drcatrow["stageid"]; // this is the point I need help if ($specstage == $eachstage){ ?> <option value=<?php echo $eachstage;?> selected="selected"><?php echo allstagerows["stage"]?></option> <?php }else{ ?> <option value=<?php echo $eachstage;?>><?php echo $allstagerows["stage"]?></option> <?php } } ?> </select>

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?

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.

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].

Multi-select List
I have a multi-select listbox created (and processed via PHP). As such I named it with braces in the name, like: <select name="multilist[]" size=10 multiple> However, I can't get javascript to reference the listbox when I name it that way (I need the javascript to dynamically insert/delete items from the list). I had originally named the list "multilist" without the braces and the javascript worked fine, and it let me multi-select, but php would only see the last item selected. Based on hints I read elsewhere, to enable php to process the multi-selections into an array, I renamed the list with the braces [] but now the javascript simply does not work -- it will not insert data into the list. Is their any trick to the control naming I need to know?

How To Process Multi-select List
I'm not sure if my post should go here, but since I am using PHP, I figured I'd start here. I have a table of choices that a user can select from, and can select as many as they want (it is for searching). I originally had a dummy list with checkboxes set up, and of course the name="name[]" was an array to capture each ID checked off, so I could easily use 'foreach'. However, when the list was finalized, it has over 100 choices. Even half that would be too much for checkboxes. My two questions are: 1) Is there an alternative to a multi-select list, which is not that intuitive to use nor easily accessible? 2) How do I set it up so I can capture the values? I can't seem to find this answer anywhere. Is it because multi-select lists are to be avoided?

Multi-select List Boxes
I'm trying to allow the user to make multiple selections in a date list box. The list box displays the numeric days in the month. The offical scooty I can find on this is to do something like: $theDays = $_POST['lboxDay']; // get the data from the list box named "lboxDay" on the previous form. $expDays = explode (",", $theDays); This explodes the post data into an array of all the days selected in the list box, which are supposed to be delimited with a comma (the HTML standard). So, I should then be able to see those days with something like : echo "<br />Day 0 = $expDays[0]"; echo "<br />Day 1 = $expDays[1]"; echo "<br />Day 2 = $expDays[2]"; . . .

Mail Form - Get The Form To Send The Selected Values
I've basically created a simple email form in html and used php scripting to send the form to my email. now I thought I should inlcude more options in this form to filter out some data I'm collecting in my emails. So i've now included some radio buttons and drop down list/menu. I've entered all the values and labels, the main question is how do I get the form to send the selected values along with the usual info i.e. name, address, email etc to my email? PHP Code: <? $mailto = 'john@something.co.uk' ; $subject = "Feedback Form" ; $formurl = "http://www.something.co.uk/contact.html" ; $errorurl = "http://www.something.co.uk/error.html" ; $thankyouurl = "http://www.something.co.uk/thanks.html" ; $uself = 0; .............................

PHP And A Pre-selected Option In A Form
I've got a little text editor thing on my site, and to open a file, you input the file name and choose the folder from a drop-down list and click the Open button. The default filename is "index" and that file keeps track of all the files contained in that folder. It works okay. What's annoying is that regardless of what folder you're messing around in, the drop down list always goes back to showing the default folder name as the page is reloaded. I want it to be preselected to the folder it's in. It seems simple enough--the folder you're in is $_GET['dir']. But I've read some HTML form how-tos, and I can only see that you can preselect using the tabindex="" or selected attribute.

How To Get Form To Remember Selected Option?
I am now trying to make a form remember which color (a select list) they selected before pressing any of the submit buttons. I entered this code into the form: <select name="color"> <option value="red">red</option> <option value="blue">blue</option> </select> The submit is a GET type. For example, if the user selects blue and then clicks on either one of the "submit" buttons, I want the form to remember/show the blue option. Right now the select list always goes back to red, the first choice. I tried doing a <?php echo $red; ?> and <?php echo $blue; ?> for the option value, but this does not work since the select list needs a value.

PHP/MySQL: Query Based On Selected Form Option
Using PHP and MySQL. Trying to put a list of categories into a drop down select option of a form like: <form name="form" action="<? print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="get"> <select name="subject"> <option value=""></option> <option value="field1">Field 1</option> <option value="field2">Field 2</option> </select> <input type="submit" name="Submit" /> </form> Then I want to process it so the MySQL query gets done depending on what was selected. I came up with this: //connect to database mysql_connect("$dbhost","$dbuser","$dbpass"); mysql_select_db("$dbase") or die("Unable to select database"); // Build SQL Query if (isset($_GET['subject'])) { switch($_GET['subject']) { case 'field1': $query = "select * from tips where category = 'field1'"; break; case 'field2': $query = "select * from tips where text like 'field2' "; break; default: echo 'No subject found' } } $results=mysql_query($query); $numrows=mysql_num_rows($results); etc etc etc But that switch doesn't seem to work. Anyone have a suggestion as to how I can code this to do the MySQL query based on the subject?

Multi-form Variables

I have had to create multiple forms because I am dynamically adding and subtracting form elememts of various types in javascript based on user activity. My problem now is getting all of these different form fields to PHP so I can write them to MySQL. I am open to any suggestions and will try using cookies, javascript arrays, hidden form fields, or whatever it takes. The only drawback is I have to use multiple forms so combining forms is not an option.

Multi-tier Form Validation
I can program the validation functions, but am having trouble integrating them into my web page. I have a few books, but their examples are somewhat trivial in that they tell you how to validate the form, and the success event is something like a 'YOU WERE SUCCESSFUL' message. What I need to do upon successful validation is enter some data into a database or move on to the next form. I could use some examples of what I would call multi-tier form validation where the user would log in, and then have to successfully navigate several forms. Do I do this all with PHP_SELF or do I call each form as a separate page? The problem I have had with some of the books is that their examples are not exactly what I would call 'real world'.

GET / POST Conflict In A Multi-page Form.
Wonder if anyone can help with this problem: I am using an app with several pages, using a session to track vars between the pages, and using an image map to re-direct back and forwards between the pages. The way I redirect is when the image map is clicked on, it posts to a page called 'control.php' which passes the POST vars to the corresponding SESSION variables, then redirects to another page, based upon the co-ords of where the image map was clicked upon. I have added text links at the bottom of the page: i.e. <--- previous page ----> next page but because the image map POSTs the data to 'control.php', I can't really add a GET query string to the link at the bottom of the page, because nothing will be POSTed. ....But then again, I can't add a POST link to the HREF, because it won't pass the co-ords, and I can't add a special variable to identify the link to the control form -i.e. control.php?link=3 (as I could with a GET) and re-direct accordingly. So, after hours of thinking about this, I'm stumped. The only idea I have is to hack the image map up into smaller pieces, add ALT tags to each one, and make do with it - or add NEXT and PREVIOUS submit images at the bottom of the page too. If I make do one with large image map, it is no use to someone who is visually impaired and relies on ALT wordings. Is there any possible way to achieve what I am trying to do ?

Basic Multi-form Database Upload Question

I have a series of form pages containing inputs for collecting information that will be used to build a 'breeder listing' page. Once the user has filled in each page and submits the third page, he will be sent to a review page showing how his listing page will look except with an 'Upload' button and an 'edit' button, allowing him to review his page. This will then create a new page. If I understood how this process is done, I can look up all the details, but I'm confused on the process.

Processing Data From Multiple Multi-line Textareas Into A Multi-dimensional Array
I know that this sounds like something overly complex - because it is. However, if I can keep the user interface the way it is, my users will be ultra happy! That is the goal... In general, this is an inventory receiving piece of an overall larger web-based ERP system. What I have is a form in which I have a dynamic number of multline textareas for inputting (possibly barcode scanning in) many serial numbers per line item recieved. For example: lineitem01 = widget01; qtyReceived = 2; lineitem02 = widget02; qtyReceived = 3; lineitem03 = widget03; qtyReceived = 10; This would display a form that will generate 3 textarea elements (1 per lineitem received). Inside each textarea element will be input the serial numbers for each of the widgets received per lineitem. i.e. 2 serial numbers will be entered for widget01; 3 for widget02; and 10 for widget03; So, what I am trying to do is pass this data over, possibly as a multi- dimensional array to another form ( or possibly $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ) to update a MySQL database to store the widget/serial numbers.

Multi Sorting Multi Dimensional Array?
