How To Use A Value From A Pick List?


I'd like to have a form that does the following:
User picks a site from a dropdown list from a MySQL db (that works -
code below, thanks to all those on the web who posted code for this).
Once the value is selected, a second query is run using the site as the
'where' clause and the results are displayed back to the user.

mysql, php, htlm noob. I think once I get this bit,
I'll be able to move forward with more interesting and complex code.

ps - if this message shows up 3 times, my apologies but I've been having
trouble posting.

<html>
<body>
<?php

// connect to db
$db = mysql_connect("localhost");
mysql_select_db("test",$db);

// build query
$sitequery = "SELECT site from sitedata order by site";

// generate result set
$siteresult = mysql_query($sitequery);

// use results
echo "Select a site from the list below: <br><br><select name='site'>";
while($siterow = mysql_fetch_array($siteresult))
echo "<option
value='".$siterow["site"]."'>".$siterow["site"]."</option>";
echo "</select></td>";
?>

</body>
</html>

Dynamic Pick List
I have been developing programs in perl and oracle and have recently switched to php. I need to create a form that has four of five seperate pick list on it. Each item in each of the pick list depend on the users previous entry. For instence if the user picks Ford then Taurus, Ranger, Focus,.etc show up in the next pick list then the user picks Ranger and 2 wheel drive, 4 wheel drive, etc show in the next pick list box on so on.

I know how to this if the screen is refresed after each user entry. What I would like to fugure out how to make the screen automatically update each pick list and not refreshing the whole screen.

Pick And Choose List
You have two list boxes on a page. On the left are all the choices, the right box is empty. In the middle you have "arrow buttons". A single one pointing right says "move the selected choice into the right box".

A single pointing left does the opposite. A double pointing right says "move all choices from left to right". A double pointing left does the opposite.

I am not sure if I can do this with PHP. Maybe Javascript? Or is it just impossible to do with web pages?

Allows Someone To Change The Given Attribute Via A Pick-list
I have a form that lists query results (members, attributes) side by side, and allows someone to change the given attribute via a pick-list. I'd like to know how all of the member attributes (one for each member listed in the query results) can be updated at once. I have no problem implementing this when just one record is being updated, but as soon as there is more than one record I get into trouble. Here's a little diagram of what I'm trying to do:

------------------------------------------
Name | Attribute
------------------------------------------
Member1 | Pick List
Member2 | Pick List
Member3 | Pick List
" etc " | " etc "
------------------------------------------

Identifying User's Pick From Selection List
I have an application that uses PHP to access a MySQL table and
extract rows which match the user's search entry. Data from the
matching rows are loaded into an HTML selection list, and the user can
scan the list and highlight a selected item.

My question: In PHP, what is the syntax for identifying which row is
highlighted?

My goal is to pass the unique row ID of the selected item to a
subsequent form where all the fields will be displayed for the user to
edit.

I already have the code that loads the selection list and the code
that displays the fields. I just need to know how to determine the
highlighted item.

I have two PHP books, and both discuss loading the selection list, but
there is no mention of what to do next.

How To Pick The Closest Number
I've been wondering about this for a few days.

I have an array containing 4 numbers:

$listofnumbers = array(0,15,30,45);

Then there's a variable that could contain any number between 0 and 59.

$actualtime = date('i');

Using the above I want to find out which of the numbers in the array is numerically closest to the value of $actualtime. So

if $actualtime = 34 then I want to return the number 30
if $actualtime = 11 then I want to return the number 15 etc.

I'm sure there's a simple solution but can't figure it out.

Pick Records Between Dates
I have this table

   id_hotel    |    ratesin      |  ratesout      |    rate
       1         | 2007-06-07   | 2007-07-15   |   100.00
       1         | 2007-09-07   | 2007-12-10   |   150.00
       2         | 2007-05-07   | 2007-08-10   |   150.00
       3         | 2007-04-07   | 2007-09-10   |   120.00

What I want to do is to make a selection and show only records between desired dates, example:

If I post via form: id_hotel = 1 ratesin=2007-07-07 and ratesout=2007-07-10, the result will show only the records in those dates range in this case the result will be:

   id_hotel    |    ratesin      |  ratesout      |    rate
       1         | 2007-06-07   | 2007-07-15   |   100.00

Maybe is easier than I think, how to achieve this.

Get List Of Messages From One Table, Message List Indicator From
I have two tables. One has a list of messages left by users using fields named mbxno for the mailbox and msgno for the message number. I have another table that has mailbox settings for each user that contains a field named "messagelist" to indicate if they want to be included on the message list or not.

What I'm trying to create is a list of the most-recent messages with a lookup on the users table to indicate whether a message in the list should be included in the message list based on the user's mailbox settings.

SELECT messages.msgno, messages.mbxno, users.messagelist FROM messages, users WHERE (users.messagelist = &#391;') ORDER BY msgno DESC LIMIT 100

What I'm getting, though is a list that looks like this:

mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1

I think what's happening is that I'm using the wrong type of join and more rows are being created than necessary.

If I add "DISTINCT" to the query, I get a list of the most-recent messages as I expect, but the "messsagelist" value is sometimes wrong (again, probably because the data is getting jumbled). For example, the messagelist value for the second row (2214) should be 0, not 1.

mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2214 msgno: 0412141622 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2189 msgno: 0412141408 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0003 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2265 msgno: 0412132029 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412131950 msglist: 1

How should I be doing this? If nothing else, what kind of join will work with a long list compared to a value from a short list?

PHP Link List

It's a script that makes it possible that on a page links are sorted ALPHABETICALLY with the first letter of the "URL name"... (take a look on Thredz' site to c what I mean,K?)

Then people got 2 have the abbility to fill in a small form, ON THE SAME PAGE WHERE THE LINKS ARE ON, where they fill in 2 fields;
#1 = Name of the Site ($sitename)
#2 = URL of the site ($url)

When they fill out it form I want the PHP-script to put the information away as a link (in a *.txt-file...if possible)
<A href="$url" target="_blank">"$sitename"</A><br>
(something like this??? I'm not sure......)
These links have to be sorted alphabetically (on the site's name,$sitename...
