Populating A List Dynamicly
Is there an easy way to populate a list dynamicly? It stinks javascript here, but I don't know how to do it with that either. I have one list A that contains enteries with ID's as values.
List B should then fill with information from a database according to wich ID is choosen in list A. Since alot of otherthings is entered on the page to I would like to nopt have to deal with sending all the data and loading the same page again.
Is there a way in PHP to link to the same page and have all the filled textfields stay as they were? Or do I have to use post?
I have the thought of loading all the data from the database and having it in an array or something and having a javascript picking and writing the choosen ones to the list. But that would be alot of excess data so getting it "live" from the db would be better.

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].

Checkboxes Dynamicly Generated
I have a form with 3 checkboxes wich have all the same name: <input type=checkbox name=test value=val1> <input type=checkbox name=test value=val2> <input type=checkbox name=test value=val3> now on the target page i need all values that are checked, so if they are all 3 ckecked i need to get val1, val2 and val3 on the target page. With ASP you get the varaible test = val1;val2;val3 (the values are all put in one variable, separated with a ";" But when i use PhP i only get the last value in this case "val3". What do i need to do to get all values? I have named them all the same because those checkboxes are dynamicly generated. I dont know how many there will be.

Breaking Up The Query String Dynamicly?
using $Get_string = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; to receive a query string such as month=may&$day=15&year=2006 so that $Get_string = "month=may&$day=15&year=2006" can I separate the values and turn them into variables? (like a normally would with a url get) $month = "may" $day= "15" etc it would be great to just do $_GET on the url but I'm sending the string as a variable to another script... so i can't just go the easy route.

Dynamicly Created Page, With Refereing Url Shown
I have loads of domain names but none have any hosting space associated. They are however all entered into my DNS, so when any of them are visited, the visitor ends up at the (unused) home page of my dns server. I would like to put a php (or perl, or whatever else is suitable) page here so the visitor is shown a more freindly page. So, for example, a "Welcome to domain.com, this page is under construction / for sale" type page is what I would want. So all I would need to do for each domain to have it's own page would be to enter the domains in to my DNS and the rest would be automatic.

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 = Ƈ') 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?

Populating Form Text Box.
I have a PHP form for entering data on-line into a mySQL table.. Because of the intended search facility, I require one field in the form to be completed with exact and precise item names and spelling. In testing, I had achieved this with look-up tables. Ideally I would like the selected item from one of five drop-down lists to autopopulate the form text field when selected. Alternatively at least the option of copy and paste. Copy and paste - for some reason will not work. Autofill worked fine on a test form with no database connection and in standard HTML and javascript, however, once the PHP is added to the page neither method works. Could anyone please point me in the direction of how to get the autofill to work?

Populating A Select Box From A Database
I have a subscription database that allows you to edit a subscribers data. For example, you enter a search term like "Bob" and it returns a list of everyone named Bob. You click the one you want and it goes to a subscriber detail page, where all of his data is populated to a form. You can directly edit this form and click save to overwrite it. The only issue is the select boxes (drop downs) - say I have four options in the drop down box, red, blue, green and black. On my details page for bob I end up with five, I have those four PLUS whatever was saved for his color, so it shows up twice. If Bob is green, my select box looks like: Green Red Blue Green Black How can I make it so that Green only shows up once?

Populating Drop Down And Table
I have a database with the following fields. Name | Company | Date values in each column could be repeated, or not. as in there could be several same names with the same company with different dates, or different names with same company. How do I populate a table with this info and have drop down boxes, so that I can narrow down the search? For example: Name | Company | Date 12 | 1 | 1929 13 | 1 | 1929 14 | 1 | 1929 12 | 2 | 1929 12 | 4 | 1929 13 | 1 | 1941 12 | 6 | 1929 So if in the drop down I select '12' under name, only those entries with 12 are shown, and then I can further sort it by selecting only '1' under Company. Hope I'm clear, I manage to complicate things when I post them.

Populating Fresh Data
Im building a live web chat using php, mysql, javascript, ajax I am fine with sending and retreiving data in real time using ajax as the transfer protocol However, my problem, which is becoming a nightmare, is how to I display it !! Lets say the below is the chat screen, <div id="messages"> Jamie - Hello Peter = Hi Jamie = Nice Day Peter = I know </div> Lets say Jamie's next message is "What are you doing today". I can send that off to the database no problem and I can get peters live chat to pull that message in, however, how do I get it to display underneath Peter = I know As a practice I was using document.getelementbyid('messages').innerHTML = document.getelementbyid('messages').innerHTML + "<BR>What are you doing today" That works, but, lets just say the chat gets to 1000 lines, for each new message those 1000 lines have to be pulled out via javascript, a new line written to it and then printed back in the div Im not sure but I'd take a good guess at this not being optimal and will cause CPU load on the users machine What is the best way to do this! Chat messages are deleted after 1 minute, but that doesnt matter because by then they have already been sent the the users chat. Just incase you are thinking of completely repopulating there chat with every message they have sent since the chat started..
