PHP :: Populating The Drop Down And Pressing The Submit Button

Pressing Browser Back Button - Form Filled Data Disappeared
When filling out a web form on a php page that is submitted to a search
which lists the results based on the criteria provided (in the form), all
works fine and as expected.

However, when I press the back button to amend the form all of the search
criteria data has gone and I have to fill it all out again if I want to do a
similar search which is frustrating. (This does not actually happen in
Firefox browser but most of my users will be using IE). How can I prevent
this from happening?

Previously I made a post about avoiding "Page has expired" and the
conclusion I came to for that was not to use a "POST" which did the trick.
But now I want to retain the data I input?

Upload File Having Browse Button And Submit Button On Same Form
I am building a form where the user must upload a picture and fill in his
details.
Now I have a problem as all of this is on the same form.

How will I be able to have the Browse button to open the "file browse"
dialog
and the Submit button to submit the form data.

As I believe you can not use GET but must use POST method for form.
Is there any means that I can use GET cause I need to get form variables
from URL as well.

PHP + MYSQL, Populating Drop Down Box
I am looking to generate a dropdown box from MYSQL data:

db name = h2, table = Working, Column = Home.

Populating A Drop Down Menu
How would I go about populating a Drop Down menu from data in MySQL? If you can show me wither a URL to learn this, or if you feel like telling me here, that would be great.

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.

Auto Populating A Drop Down Box
Basically I'm setting up a website which needs an populated drop down box made up from all fields in a specific column of a table in a mysql db....

Here's the code I've made up using various tutorials....

<?php
$user = "";
$host = ""
$password = ""
$dbName =  ""

/* make connection to database */
mysql_connect($host, $user, $password) OR DIE( "Unable to connect
to database");
mysql_select_db($dbName); //did you forget this line?

$sql = "SELECT model FROM usedVehicles";
$query = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error() . "<br>$sql"); //use the or die(...) part ONLY IN DEVELOPMENT
?>

<form action="action" method="post">
<select name="option">

<?php
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    echo "<option value="" . $row['model'] . "">" . $row['model'] . "</option>
";
}
?>
</select>
<input type="submit">
</form>

I've left out the connection details for obvious reasons... When I upload and try to test this, jus a blank drop down appears... there are definately fields in the column as I have tried the query on phpMyAdmin.

Submit Form Without Clicking Submit Button
I was wondering if it is possible to use something like Javascript to make it so you don't have to click the submit button on a form to make it submit, while using php and mysql. e.g. Code:

Populating A Drop Down List With The Year
i'm trying to loop the years from 1960 - 2010 with the function get_year() below:
PHP Code:

Populating A Drop Box With Results From Database
I have a MySQL database with a table (category) with two fields, catId (int) and category (char(50)). What I want to do is to get all category names in this database and place all of them into a dropdown box on a web page so that the user can choose from the list of available categories.

Auto Populating Multiple Drop Downs.
im trying to create two dropdowns, i need the first one to be the category and the second one to be the subcategory. The category drop down autopopulates with the correct info from the database. and uses the table "category", the value of each drop down is represented by the "cat" field in the table (cat is basically and integer id number) and "Category" is used as what the user actually sees in the drop down (category is the actual word of the category).

Once the category is selected i would like to have the sub category auto populate with everything that has the same values as the selected category (cat)

Here is a break down of how the tables work.

Table 1 Name: "category"
Fields for Table 1: "cat" (the id number), "category" ( the actual name of the category)

Table 2 Name: "subcategory"
Fields for Table 2: "cat" (corresponds with the cat id from table 1 to pull the correct data), "subc" (the basic id of the subcategory), "subcat" the actual name of the subcategory.

so the way i see it, have a normal drop down populated by a php query. then on change, populate subcategory drop down where cat = cat and display sub category.

Session Problem - Login Screen Continually Reloads After Pressing The Login Button
I am trying to get sessions to work on a log in screen to give certain
users access to certain pages/directories. The problem is that when
the login button is pushed (or the enter key pressed) the login screen
redraws, never loading the next page. I don't get any error messages.
I am using FreeBSD-5.1/Apache-2.0.46/MySQL-4.1.0.1/PHP-4.4.3.4

I have pasted the code below:

Populating City,state,country Drop Down Menu
In the registration form I have city, state, country fields. I was
wondering if there was a database available on the net which has the
list of states in each of the countries. That way when a user selects

Submit Button Bug?
I think I've find a very VERY strange bug with form submit buttons (only tested on IE 5.5.). I've got a form in which a password can be changed, which updates a record in MySQl.

If you click the submit button, the page works fine. If you press enter whilst the submit button is highlighted, it works fine. However, if you're inside the text field where you're changing the password and you then press enter, it tries to submit the form but doesn't do anything!

The Submit Button?
I've just been looking a different ways to submit forms, however I find that all is not how it should be... In this incarnation, I have some php script that pulls information from a previous form so I can display it before submitting the data to a database, how ever if I do this: Code:

Get Value Of Submit Button
I have a form with several buttons all named submit with difrent values. form action ="post" I should be able to get the selected button by $a = $_REQUEST['submit']; but nothing. why?

Focusing A Submit Button
I am having the hardest time to do a simple action. Many of you know what I am talking about when I say that there are some webpages that do not require you to physically click on the 'Submit' button to send the form. For instance, all you would have to do is click on the username text field and password text field and enter the respective info AND THEN HIT ENTER.(i.e. - I do not click Submit) My page does not currently have that nice little feature. Can anyone tell me how to do it? And if anyone is knowledgeable enough, can you tell me why some pages seem to have that and some don't. Thank you.
I have two items of interest:
1) The text field in which I put the information in.
Code:
<input type='text' name ='search_kernel' value=''>
2) The submit button (which I do not necessarily have to hit in order to submit the form)

Focus A Submit Button
YES I know this is the PHP area. I posted this in the Javascript/HTML area but it appears dead in there. Hopefulyl y'all won't mind.

I'm having the damnest time trying to figure out something so simple!

I have a button:

<input type="submit" value="Confirm" name="confirm_button" class="selectbutton">

This is located at the bottom of the page.

I want to add a focus() element to it so that the page automatically scrolls to that button instead of the user having to scroll down for themselves.

Any ideas on how I might accomplish this. Have tried a bunch of variations which did not work.

Submit Button Pressed?
I need to check if the user press the form's submit button. How can I do that?

Using $_POST With Submit Button
I wondered if anyone could further advice? In my script I was trying
allow the user to enter a userid and password, and when the users
clicks the login button. Pass these values passed to a method
login_user, and finally display there record.

I was hoping to display the record on this page. I would appreicate
some advice if my scrips looks corrects? I unsure about the line
if(isset($_POST['login'])){ ....

Can You Use An Image For A Submit Button.
I am building a site with PHP and MySQL and it makes extensive use of forms. I have one such form and I want to make the submit button an image.I have tried

<input type="image" name="SUBMIT" src="images/butt_continue.gif" alt="Continue" border="0">

but this does not work on pages with PHP in. This particular page is using a self referencing form to update a record in a database. Code:

Form Submit Button
Should be a quickie but I just can't get it to work.

I have a form where my users can submit their football picks, when they
click submit I would like another sized window to appear (mnf_scores.htm)
where they can submit a total score for the Monday night football game each
week. From the research I've done I think I need the following:

// If this is change picks, output the submit button and close the form
if ($userfunc==1) {
echo "<p><input type="submit" value="Submit Your Picks!"
onclick="window.open('mnf_scores.htm','MNF Scores')"/></p>
</form>
";
}

But that just doesn't seem to work. The submit part works but the subsequent
window is not opened.

Image As Submit Button
I have a small issue that I can't seem to figure out. I am busy creating a shopping cart, and I have one button called update cart. The aim of this is that if the user sets the quantityu to 0 or any other number for that matter, the cart will be updated with that quantity. It seems to work perfectly if I use the submit for the input type but not the image type. Can someone please explain this to me. I am attaching the code:

Having To Press Submit Button Twice
I am trying to write an app which updates a database from the chosen person in a selectbox (clientdd) however I was having a problem whereby the page loads then when you press submit the form goes blank - you then press again and it processes the information you entered before.

Simple Submit Button Question
When I enter a value in a text field and click on submit button, the submit button will have value 'Update it' then I just need to check submit button like this:

if ($submit != '')
{validate input fields}

Now suppose I don't do the above, I do this: If I enter a value in a text field and press the Enter key in that text field, what is the value of the submit button that I have now?

Form Submit Button Question
For a web page, I want a SUBMIT button that commits the form data and a
CANCEL button that goes to a different target (i.e. a different script).

I haven't figured out how to do this, because the <FORM ACTION="... tag
seems to make sure that any two submit controls in a form have to go to the
same target.

BTW, the CANCEL button does not have to submit any form data.

Preventing Doubleclicking On The SUBMIT Button
Some thing I have to find a solution to is dealing with duplicate rows in my tables when users accidentally double-click on SUBMIT buttons in the forms on my sites. Is there an way that this can be done with a built-in function or command?

Posting From A Form Without A Submit Button - How?
Given something like:

if ( $_POST['type_save'] == 'Save record to HTGI public DB') {
echo '<form method="post" action="populate08.php">'
echo '<input type=hidden name="kw_tarea" value='.$tk.'>'
echo '</form>'
echo '<p>permanent DB updated'
}

But there's no button to press for a submit. So how do I get this code
posted to the action=populate08 ? Without pressing a buttom but just
from the code?

Submit Button IE 7 And Firefox Inconpatibility
I am generating a form with this code:

<form name = "analysis" method= "post" action="$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]">
and a Submit button with this code

<TD><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Run Analysis"></TD>";
It works fine when I view the resultant HTML page in Firefox, when you clickm the button the page does exactly what I think it should do. However in IE7 whyen the button is pressed nothing happens - have I missed some thing awfully obvious?

How Is Submit Button Appearance Changed?
Currently designing/building my first class/template driven site.

Inside a PHP form a list of article titles are displayed along with the
first two lines of the article. When the user clicks on the article title
the form with the list of article titles is replaced with the full text of
the article selected.

Since the article ID for the article title selected determines which article
will be displayed it would seems that if each title displayed (on the
article title list page) was actually a submit button. Of course I don't
want a list of gray submit boxes with titles lumbering down the page.

What I'd like to know is:

First, is it possible to assign a variable to a submit button. It seems like
it would be, but if someone has found a reason for not doing so I'd
appreciate hearing it.

Second, how do I change the image of the submit button so it appears as a
link (without the underline, of course). I've found a couple of tutorials in
regards to this issue, but they all had major typos and so far have not
gotten any of them to work.

Calling A PHP Function From The Submit Button
I have designed a form that gathers information about the user and when the SUBMIT button is pressed I would like to execute a PHP function in the same .PHP document.

How can I call a PHP function within the same document when the submit button is pressed?

Submit The Drop Down Menu Info To Db?
What I have is a status(drop down menu) you should be able to select from drop down and it will update the status field in db. Code:

Passing Information To A New Page With A Submit Button
I've started creating scripts that allow for one page to have a form that data can be added to. A second page that allows some one else to view all the submissions that have been entered. This page also creates a submit button for each entry.

Now what I need to do is make it so that only the entry for which the submit button is connected to is carried over to a third page.

At this point using variables, each button gets a different name and value such as, button 1, button 2, button 3, ...

When I click any of the buttons all the data from all the submissions get carried over to the new page instead of only the data that that button goes with.

How do I write the code on the third page to carry over just the data that the button I click is related to?

I'm using a flat file for the data entered into the first page.
