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 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.
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?
Option Value Remember
When a user clicks on a car the option box selects what car has been choosed, after filling the form in and if he has forgotten to type some info, the script echos what did he forget, and the prob is, that the option value disappears. How can i save the value or post it over? Code:
Remember Selected Value DropDown
I am attempting to have a drop down menu that displays url from 1 table called links the same table also contains a name for the url. i.e. google.com = name and http://www.google.com = url The value of just the url from links is stored in a separate table called users in a field named search after form is submitted by user. Everything Posts correctly except when go back to edit the record and submit the form the drop down box does not retain the value of what had been previously selected although it is the correct record until form is updated when whatever value is currently in the drop down list will update the record. I know the code is doing exactly what it is told to do, because I have no functionality in it to recall the value from the field search in the users table. I don't know if it is something I would have to add to the array or option value. I can get it to work if it is all hard coded, but I am attempting not to do this. I am pretty new to php mysql and any help is greatly appreciated. This is the code I am working with that came mostly from a tutorial. PHP Code:
Setting Selected Option Using PHP
I have a drop down list which I want to be set to what was selected when the form is submitted. As the form is processed by the same page, it returns to the preset default. How would I go about making this selection box set the option selected on the next page?

Set The Selected Text For Option Box Of A Menu..
Having major issues with this simple task, and I cant work out why its not doing as it should/expected. Basically, ive got a drop down box with the added bit of php: <select name="title" id="title"> <?php if($_SESSION['title'] != "") { echo '<option value="'. $_SESSION['title'] .'" selected="selected"></option>' } else { echo "<option value="" selected></option>"; } ?> <option>Mr</option> <option>Mrs</option> <option>Miss</option> <option>Ms</option> <option>Dr</option> </select> Basically, if the user submits a form, the title is stored in the session, this works fine, and then when returned to the page, the value should be filled in. Yet, when they return to the page, there value they selected is not shown in this box, instead, theres just a gap. The source seems correct, and this is whats shown: <select name="title" id="title"> <option value="Mr" selected="selected"></option>
Keeping Select Option Value Selected
I'm trying to learn how to keep the value "selected" once a form is set to read the values and then f-write them (all within a loop). The part that's giving me a problem is the part which would return the value of the form as "selected". PHP Code:
Multiple Select Box With Selected Option ...
first of all I have three tables (tournament_game, umpire_game, umpires). Updating tournament_game umpires, each game may have from two to four umpires, and those umpires can work from one to n number of games, that's why I'm using connection table umpire_game. I'd like to get selected multiple select box of umpires in game, it could be two to four options, with all umpires listed as options example: <select name=umpire_game[] size=10 multiple> <option value=$umpire_id>$umpire_name</option> <option value=$umpire_id selected>$umpire_name</option> <option value=$umpire_id selected>$umpire_name</option> <option value=$umpire_id>$umpire_name</option> <option value=$umpire_id selected>$umpire_name</option> <option value=$umpire_id selected>$umpire_name</option> PHP Code:
Select Option Stays Selected
I have a normal drop down menu: <select name="status" class="db_list_text"> <option value="All" selected="selected">All</option> <option value="True">Active</option> <option value="False">Inactive</option> </select> The idea for this is for the user to select either true or false and then to click submit to find data that matches either one. The coding is in the same page so the form basically just reloads the page and grabbes whatever info is requested. How can I with PHP, make it that the dropdown stays on the selected option when the page is reloaded?

Remember Form Values
I have a form, and I'm using PHP to make sure the users filled in certain fields. If they haven't filled in a field, they are brought back to the form after submitting (using header location) and asked to fill it in. However, when they go back, the form values are all gone. How can I keep the form values there? I know i've seen it done, but I can't remember where.

How can I remember the values the users already filled so they don't need to fill the same fields again? Is there any other ways to do this except using cookie? Is there any 'forward' or 'redirect' function can do this?
Trying To Remember A Function's Name
I am drawing a total blank on this... I'm sure that I've seen it in javascript or PHP... I'm looking for a function that takes a variable (such as an array) and reduces it to a string which can be reconstituted. I remember that it does slightly more work than needed because all the types were specifically indicated even when they were self evident, but I can't remember the function's name. There is some unencoding function to go in reverse.

Session Remember Things It Should NOT....
I use sessions to store information in $_SESSION. However, variables that are not in $_SESSION that I define myself is also remember between pages in the same session. What gives? Is $error_msg a some kind of global variable? So, I might have two pages, let say page1.php and page2.php. They both use the variable $error_msg and session_start();

See example link below: www.somthing.co.uk/functions.php?id=23 How do I get the array to remember its contents, so if the browsers back button is used, and another link is clicked, this link should append/add it's id to whats already inside the array?

Add Option Modifiers

PHP GTK Option Questions
Before I invest more time in researching and testing I am curious if anyone knows for certain if a PHP_GTK application running on a Windows machine can communicate and interface with a remote database SECURELY? My plan involves creating a support system which would be a standalone application on a Windows Workstation. This application would query data from a remote database SECURLY and then support personal would be able to modify, edit, etc. data from the PHP_GTK application which would in turn update data in the remote database, again securely. Can a PHP_GTK application support this, security being the biggest concern?
Readdir & Option Value
more or less that is my problem: i'm making HTML <select><option> statement: if ($dir = @opendir("/the/directory)) { while($file = readdir($dir)) { echo '<option value="'.$file.'">'.$file; } } the number of options depends of number of files in directory. When user chooses one of this files(he chooses an option) i want to know what option he choosen.

<select> Option
I know PHP is a server-side language, so it's not client-sided. What I want to do is have a <select> dropdown with options and I want the page to refresh itself and display some information on that option. The problem is that since PHP isn't client-sided, I don't know how to get the value of the selected option and display the relevant info on that option. Any ideas on how to do this with PHP?
