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 A Select Box
What I want to do for members of my website is to allow them to click a button that will add their name to a list that populates a select box. I can do this on my own, but I was curious if I have to use a database in order for this to be possible.

Populating Select Boxes
I'm creating a data entry system using php/mysql that includes the standard add/update/delete forms in PHP with a MySQL backend. On the update pages I'm trying to fill the select boxes (that come from other tables) with the values in those other tables, yet defaulting the selection in each of those select boxes to the value currently stored in the main table which is being updated. For example, the main table is called 'dates' and a related table is called 'department'. So one of the select boxes should have all the various departments listed in the select box but the currently selected value should be whatever is in the department field in the 'dates' table for the record the user is trying to update.

Drop Down Menu Select And Populating Data Fields
I have a PHP/MySQL Content Management System set up for the job I work at. It's basically a shift program that lets users pick up shifts, post shifts, etc. The data fields are tied to the shift ID which is selected from a dynamically populated drop down box. However, I cannot get the data fields to be updated when I select a new value and I cannot get the form to accept the new selected Shift ID. I have tried using JavaScript but cannot quite get it to work. Code:

Populating A Dropdown From A Database
I have put together a script that populates a dropdown menu from a database. My database contains a table called casinocredit, and it contains records that have been enterend over 2 different months (may and june). There is a field in the database that contains the date in this format: 2006-05-12 00:00:00 So The drop down is currently showing a month for each of those records. I was hoping that it would only display one. (the plan is when a user selects a month (say May) and hits submit, then I would display all of Mays records on a different page) See the image i have attached for a view of what is happening. Code:

I have a multiple select input in a form that's being populated by a row from my database as such: <input type="checkbox" name="subm[]" value="$row[ID]"> That part is working fine as I can check the displayed page using View Source and see that the value is the correct row number from the database.

Can someone point me in the right direction? $query = ("SELECT * FROM `table`"); $result = mysql_query($query); print "<p>Data for Selections:"; print "<table border=2><tr><th>You chose:"; foreach ($_POST['subm'] as $value) { print "<tr><td>"; print "$row[ID]; "; print mysql_field_name($result, 1) .

Selective Echoing And Database Select
I have written a search engine for business listings for the company I work for. Each listing is in a database, and that works fine. The problem though is two-fold. The first part of the problem is that not all listings utilise every column of the database, and this leaves gaps when echoing the results. This is not what i had in mind, Any ideas/help would be appreciated. The second part of the problem is related to the first in that there is a link for any listing that has a website, but not every listing has a website, so every listing having a "Visit our Site" link is impractical and shoddy. Also, i'm not sure how to echo the url from the database effectively in the first place.

Using PHP And MYSQL To Select From Database Using Images
I'm trying to update a main page with a list of details matching a selection from a display of images that are displayed in a small window that have been selected from an image group using a select box in the main window, however I don't know how to do this and the main page is not receiving anything when clicking on an image so it's refreshing with empty data. I've seen many many pages giving examples of how to do this with select boxes or how to do this if only one entry uses an image shown in the small window, but the image display window is displaying many different small images not a select box and the database itself has multiple entries that use the same image. Can anyone help? I have a few instant chat programs if someone wishes to discuss this with me in real-time to see what it is I'm trying to achieve.

Select Specific Phrase From MYSQL Database
I am working on a World of Warcraft guild's website and I am trying to create a page where players can select different kinds of gear, i.e. the gear with the most Stamina. All the player's items are stored in the database and every item have a field in the Items-table containing the item's tooltip. This could look something like: Boots of the Nexus Warden Soulbound Feet Cloth 97 Armor +27 Stamina +17 Intellect Durability 35 / 35 Equip: Improves spell hit rating by 18. Equip: Increases damage and healing done by magical spells and effects by up to 21. I then want to select the item with i.e. the most Stamina for all the different slots; Head, Chest, Legs etc. If I write this: $query = mysql_query("SELECT substring(item_tooltip, LOCATE('Stamina', item_tooltip)) AS maxor FROM roster_items WHERE member_id = ེ'") or die(mysql_error()); It returns the following: Stamina +17 Intellect Durability 35 / 35 Equip: Improves spell hit rating by 18. Equip: Increases damage and healing done by magical spells and effects by up to 21. But I want for it to show the leading characters also (in this case "+27 " before "Stamina") and then not show anything else after the phrase "Stamina". So it shows "+27 Stamina" and nothing else for the above mentioned item. How do I accomplish this? And then, secondly how do I then get it to show only the item with the most Stamina after it selected the above? Hope this makes any sense. I've tried to search these forums and found something a little along the lines of my problem but haven't been able to adjust them to my needs and I therefore need your help which will be greatly appreciated.

Simple Filter Of Database With $_GET And Select SQL
I need help with my logic statement with a simple search engine on a MySQL table. I have three form text input fields named f_name, l_name and dept. I am using the GET method to gather data the user enters in each input field. So far I have been able to build a check to see that the submit has been clicked but I am having trouble with assembling the SQL statement because I need for the search engine to be able to filter the results based on the information provided in 1-3 of the fields. I could use if statements with some and clauses but that would mean that I would have to account for each combination. Something like If(($_GET[‘f_name’] != “”) || ($_GET[‘l_name’] !=) || ($_GET[‘dept] !=)){ $sql = "SELECT * FROM facform WHERE f_name LIKE '$_GET[f_name]', l_name LIKE '$_GET[‘l_name]', dept LIKE '$_GET[dept]' ”;} The problem with this is that I would have to get every combination and it’s not very scalable. How can I create this SQL statement dynamically? Code:

Retrieving Data From A Database Into A <select> Field
I'm writing a handfull of forms to enter data into a MySQL database, and then retrieve the data for editing. The form works fine when retrieving data into text boxes with <input type=text value="<? echo $varname?>"> and with checkboxes by using <input type="checkbox" <? if (isset($varname)) {echo "checked";}?> My problem is that I can't use the above techniques to retrieve data from <select> lists. When I bring the edit form up, it returns the list's default value, and the default value is saved on the database unless the user changes the <select> field everytime the form is open. I guess my question is simpler than I make it sound: how do I update a <select> field to display the value stored in the database?
