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.

Smarter Way Of Doing Dropdown List?
I've got a dropdown list that is acting as a filter on a table, so the user can select a value and the page is reloaded only showing the matching values from the database. Now when the page reloads the dropdown was set to 'all' as it was first in the list, even if I'd selected a different value, this was confusing for users, so I added an initial <option> field which pulled the correct value from $_GET (code below) - however this is a little odd as it means the value appears twice! Does anyone have a genius solution to this? I've seen a <select selected="yes"> sort of thing around, but I don't know how I can tell the php to add this value dynamically? <select size='1' name='occupation'> <option>".$_GET['occupation']."</option> <option value='All'>All</option> <option value='Student'>Students</a></option> <option value='Professional'>Professional</option> <option value='Hobbyist'>Hobbyists</option> </select>

Add Variables To Dropdown List
I have a list of variables: $variable[0] $variable[1] $variable[2] The amount of variables changes so i've used $total = count($variable) to find the amount there are.

Dynamic Dropdown Lists
I am recoding a greeting card website.

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

Dynamic Content Using Dropdown
I have the following dropdown menu which is populated by content or categories (with catID being the category ID) from the database. What I want to do though is when an item in the drop down list is selected, I want to show dynamic content under it. BTW, I must not emphasize on "dynamic" too much because it may seem like a DHTML thing going on here. For example, if a user selects a certain item/category in the list, I want content such as coupons in the DB which have the same catID as the category selected showing up. The coupons are discreetly placed in the DB table "coupons" with the category ID being catID and...for eg: catID --- couponname --- couponinfo --- expiredate If you are going to include any kind of javascript, please write them as well. Here is the code I am starting off with: =========================== <form name="myform"> <select name="selectID" size=10 > <? $resultcat = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Category"); while ($myrow2 = mysql_fetch_array($resultcat)) {?><?printf("<option value=%s>%s</option>", $myrow2["catID"],$myrow2["name"]); } ?></select></form>

Autopopulate Dropdown List From Database
An events-registration page with a form containing a dropdown list for upcoming events, the events will be pulled from a table which is updated by...? what i've gathered so far is that this can be done with PHP. I am a little unclear on the concept of how this is done. How does the updated information get input into the table? 1) can this be done (updating database) through a web interface by the client, or is it something i would have to do locally and then upload. If done by the client, can he delete/edit existing information--assuming he is not familiar with code. 2) what other things aside from html(good), sql(so-so), and php(newb) will i have to know? i've seen a lot of good tutorials here and will have access to the necessary software. I just want to know if there is anything else i should know before i dive in head first without testing the PHP water, which i assume is frigid.

Dropdown List Of Files In Folder

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

Create State-cty Dropdown Lists
I've gotten everything up and running except for this -- I'd like to be able to have people have a dropdown list of cities in the US to use (or wherever) and not have to input them manually into a text field. When you do then there are issues of misspellings, etc. Now I have a list of cities from each state that is a sample that works in an html page. Problem is that it takes up 2 MB! Way too much to load on a single page and I was wondering how this is accomplished best -- do people use javascripts that can pull information from another flat flie? Do people use PHP to connect to a mysql database that might have a list of these fields and then reloads the page? I'm really not sure of best options and would be grateful for anyone to give me pointers or whether there are other examples and even places to buy these databases (not likely but good to have if I decide to do so.)

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?
