PHP :: Reading POP Boxes

Populating Two Combo Boxes
I have one combo box (Category) which is populated by a MySQL table using php. I am trying to use the onchange javascript to submit the value selected so that I can populate the other combo box (sub-category) based on what was previously choosen. So can anybody give me a clue on how to submit the first boxes value so that the second can see what was selected (javascript function).

An Array Of Text Boxes
I have the full code in a php script where I essentially display a form with checkboxes, and 2 text boxes associated with each checkbox to record grades ( marks and remarks ). The form displays correctly and the checkboxes I select do pass the correct id numbers for the students to be graded, also the numeric data in the first textbox is correctly transmitted HOWEVER the data in the second textbox gets randomly truncated.

e.g, if the "remarks" textbox has 'hello', it gets truncated to 'o'. It seems I'm not resetting something or there is another simple oversight somewhere, perhaps the script treating the data as a string rather than as an array Code:

Multiple Drop Down Boxes
I want to create two multiple drop down boxes, the first will display all the company names, once this has been selected all the stock information for that company will appear in the second drop down boxes.

Dynamic Combo Boxes
i have a problem with creating some dynamic combo boxes. i have a form and the user enters the number of printers required, on the recieving page i display that many combo boxes ready for their input...but the problem is its not generating the correct number of combo boxes for some reason. i think i'ts because i need to reset the cursor on the result set so it can whip through the printers again but am not sure. please see following code:

Printing Colored Css-boxes
I've got a page with a couple of tables inside a couple of colored boxes(css-style), but when I try to print the page I end up with a copy without colors.

Form Drop Down Boxes
I have a bunch of products i want to add to a database, i have a form to submit the products to the database.

What i need to crack is to have a drop down box for category 1 (beer or wine) and then automatically populate the drop down box for category 2 depending on the first selection

if cat1 = beer then cat2 options = Lager, Malt, Stout.
if cat2 = Stout then cat3 = Guiness, london, Old boot.
if cat3 = Guiness then cat4 = Bottle, Can.

I have four sub categories so need this to work on the fly before adding all info to the database ...

Conditional List Boxes
I am attempting to create a list box that is dynamically populated based on the selection of another list box. I am in way over my head..only way to learn I guess. The code below has a year listbox and then based on the year selection, the page should either show another listbox (show industry selection when year <> 2005) or it should render the main form (when year=2005). I cannot get the main form to appear. Code:

If Statement And Check Boxes.
I have a database full of different articles/stories. I would like to have a publish check box so that if it is checked, that story appears on the homepage, I know how to do this. HOWEVER, i need ot be able to limit this so that only one can ever be checked off... Code:

Dynamic Text Boxes
I have a form where field techs can close out service calls, Time in, time out, work done, who the tech is....ect...

Currently I have 20 fields for parts..... Part1 / Part1QTY....and so on to Part10 / Part10QTY.... the form emails, and it also feeds data into MySQL... so everything is working fine...

What I would like to do, is stream line it...so there is only 2 fields...part_number and qty....and when techs needs to enter more parts then click on a button that creates 2 new sets of text boxes for input....
thus allowing me to have them enter more the just 10 parts and qty's.

I thought about, maybe having a secondary form on my HTML page, with different sets of submit buttons, and they can enter 1 part at a time... but I could not get the secondary form Submit button to not clear the data in the primary form...so that didn't work for me.! I'm am basically stuck here... there maybe one or two other issues I have...but those are not so critical.

I do have a great deal of MS Access experience but this PHP is a totally different monster. For those who know access, it's very easy to add a new record in a subform and just keep adding records...which is sort of what I'm trying to do here.

Dynamic Listy Boxes
we are trying to buid some dynamic list boxes. Our code that generates the
listbox creates a string containing the list box definition and the last line of the file is echo $outstr.

When we execute this, the list box works fine. Now when we embed it into am html page in this way: <?php include statuslistbox.php ?>, we get errors that say "constant statuslistbox.php not defined" The listbox define file has the php brackets top and bottom. The embeding html has no brackets other than the ones show above. It seems to make no difference if the calling file is a php extension html extension.

Drop Down Answer Boxes
how to insert drop down answer boxes (like the oes you get in questionnaires) into my cong, i can't seem to get the coding right or make anything appear in the box.

Generating Drop Down Boxes From Mysql
i'm using php with mysql. i need to be able to extract items out of my database and put them into a drop down box so that the data is dynamic.

In this example, i need to get all of the names from the name.office field into a drop down box to be used in further scripts/processess.

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>

<?

$db = mysql_pconnect ("localhost", "XXXX", "XXXXX");

if (!$db)

{
echo "error: could not connect to database. please try again later";
exit;
}

mysql_select_db("XXXXXXX");
$query = "select name from office";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$num_results = mysql_num_rows($result);

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

?>

</body>
</html>what goes here??? i have tried many things and not been able to get it to work.

Spaces In <input Text> Boxes.
When I submit a form where a user has typed a space into the input box, then check that value in the action .php file, only the text before the first space is displayed. How can I get all of the text sent?

eg

Code:
<form name="form2" method="post" action="temp.php">
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Then in temp.php
Code:
echo "Username = $name";

If the user enters "Greg Bennet" into the text field, I get back "Username = Greg".

Dynamic Text Boxes With While Loop?
Basically I have a dynamic number of categories. Each of these categories requires a text box, therefore I have a dynamic number of text boxes. My question is if there is anyway using a while loop that this can be done?

<?
while ($nextcat = array.php($categories))
{
echo $nextcat;
$varname = $strip_tags($nextcat)
?>
<input type = textarea name = <? $varname ?>>
<? } ?>

Dynamic Dependent Drop Down Boxes
I need to build a dynamic page with 2 drop down boxes on it where the contents of the second drop down box are dependent upon the selection made in the first drop down box (the first box contains districts/regions and the second box contains towns/cities). The customer wants this to happen on a single screen but can this be done with PHP?

Dynamically Filling Selection Boxes
I was wondering if anyone knows how to fill a selection box with different values depending on a selection made in a nother selection box in the same page. I dont know if what I'm tryin to do can be done or not, at least in PHP. First a quick background:

We have a number of projects running right now, each of which is subdevided into various tasks. Now, I've got two selection boxes. The first contains a list of all current projects. What I want to do is this: when someon selects a project from the first box, I'd like the second box to be filled with a list of the tasks that have been assigned tot hat project.

Dynamic Drop Down Boxes With Php Query
I need to build a dynamic page with 2 drop down boxes on it where the contents of the second drop down box are dependent upon the selection made in the first drop down box (the first box contains districts/regions and the second box contains towns/cities). The customer wants this to happen on a single screen but can this be done with PHP?

The above question is already answered by many people and they want me to use Javascript.
My doubt is the second box shoud query the list from a table in mysql using php. How do i do that?

Using Mail() And Avoiding Spam Boxes !
Im using the mail() command to send an email to people who register on
my site, but many are ending up in people's spam boxes on hotmail.

This problem isn't true of all users - probably around 60%.

Im being as open as possible using a number of headers, but can anyone
suggest a way of getting through with less problems ?

$sender = "From: Name <email@domain.com>" . "";
$sender .= "Return-Path: email@domain.com" . "";
$sender .= "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "";
$sender .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1" . "";
$sender .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit" . "";
$sender .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();

Passing Values From Text Boxes
what I'm trying to do is pass some values from text boxes, yes it may sound simple, but let me explain more... I've got a form, and what I want to do is that when you enter a new question and select a existing category from the drop down box, it then inserts the values into the database no problem. However if enter a new question, and a new category, then submit the info, I get a null value. The Code...

Handling Multiple Check Boxes
I have a PHP generated page which displays X many records. Each record has
a checkbox preceding it. The user checks several checkboxes, and hits a
delete button. All the corresponding records will be deleted.

But I'm running into difficulty...

Right now the NAME property of each check box is the primary key of the
corresponding record. Hence if I know which checkboxes are checked, I
simply use DELETE using the NAME value.

Generally speaking, how do I get the server side to see which check boxes
were checked?

The check box names may not be sequential, if any records have been deleted
previously, and the first check box might be a number greater than 0.

Is there an easy mechanism to do this? Some kind of built in cnotrol array
allowing me to loop over every check box that was on the form submitted?

I could store the last and first checkbox number in a hidden input, then
loop starting/ending at those values, but that may loop over a lot of
controls that do not exist.

Checking Check Boxes From Post
I have a group of five checkboxes that I need to check in a script after a
post-operaiton. I was using the code:

$drv1 = $_POST['driving_1']

but if the user left checkbox "driving_1" empty, i get a php error upon
processing. So, I looked in the manual and found the fuction empty(). So I
tried:

If (empty($drv1)) {
then do this
}

But it doesn't seem to be working. Actually, what I really want is if not
equal to empty, something like:

If (!empty($drv1)) {
then do this
}

Punctuation Marks In PHP Text Boxes
I am not a PHP user; I manage the server/ network for our business.
We've employed web developers (chosen because they're friends of the
MD) to build us a site and they've used PHP & MySQL to do it.

The problem we have is that if we use an apostrophe when writing a
product description or product title in the back office of our site,
when that data is then used or carried through to another part of the
site eg. a live product page or an order summary page, the apostrophe
has a backslash before it. We have run into other issues with the use
of various punctuation marks in the text fields of the back end of the
site and have always been told by the developers that it is a fault of
PHP and is common with PHP text fields.

Now, as I said, I'm not a PHP user and certainly no expert. But I have
installed and used Mambo Server, Wordpress, phpBB and a couple of other
PHP MySQL products through my own curiosity and have done so
successfully and have never experienced any of the issues we seem to be
facing with these text boxes. I am growing increasingly suspicious of
the level of competence of the developers and feel that they are making
excuses for their inability. Can anyone tell me, from what I've said
here, whether my suspicions are justified or is it the case that PHP is
limited in these areas?

Drop Down Boxes Change By Selection
what i'm trying to do is when a user selects a country say UK, all the uk states are displayed in another selection box below BUT if the US is selected all the us states are shown, this is on nion every friends/dating site just curious as to how this is done.

Selections On Dropdown Selection-boxes
I have a article manager script that im nearly done with and when you press save, it takes you to another page to check that you have entered the required fields by checking for the POST vars, if not it redirects back to the page and stuffs the entered fields into GET vars header( location: file.php?errors=$errors&var1=$var1 ) 's you back to the previous page.

Now i have no trouble reshowing the entered info in regular text fields as i grab it from GET but i dont seem to be able to reshow a drop down box selection it always reverts back to the first option when i redirect the page.

Dynamic Drop Down Boxes With Mysql
I'm working on a database project for a class and am having problems populating select boxes with a field from a mysql table. The first thing that I'm trying to do is pull the field LastName from the table Faculty. Then when the user selects the faculty member in the drop down box, it will then display all of the fields related to that faculty member...first and last name, title, office number etc and allow the user to edit those fields and then resubmit them to the database.

However I can't seem to get the drop down box to populate, so if anyone has any suggestions as to how to fix this I would love to hear them. Code:

Avoiding Php Mail() To Spam Boxes
I'm sending soliticited emails for a nonprofit and i'm finding when i use PHP's mail function, and the mail goes through my ISP's SMTP, a decent percentage of the mails go to people's spam boxes.

are there known headers or something i could add to my code to make them less spam box prone?

Long Strings In List/menu Boxes
Is there a way to get a list/menu box to resize as the page is resized and
for any long string that is an item in the list to be spread over two or
more lines in the same way as text in a table does.

Filtering Selection In Multiple Drop Down Boxes
I want to allow a user to conduct a search on a database using multiple drop down boxes.
On the first page they will have a drop box filled with records from field A. Once they select which one they want, a second drop down box will then appear with records from field B which are present for field A (a filter).

What I want though is that the first dwon down box still appears on the second page, but shows the record that the user selected. What is happening now is that when the second page comes up, the first box shows the default selection rather than the selection that the user chose. My code for the drop down boxes is: PHP Code:

How Can I Print Out Multiple Text Input Boxes?
How Can I Print Out Multiple Text Input Boxes. The function below prints out three text boxes. The code below is static, cannot accept user input, and therefore cannot be changed. What I need to do is write a function or maybe a class that can accept user input and print or echo a different number of text boxes, depending on the user input.

The name variable for each of the textboxes needs to have a different name. For example, the name for the first text box would be something like "name=textfield1", the second would be "name=textfield2", and so forth. PHP Code:

Dynamic Number Of Text Boxes/insert
On page one I ask 'How many boxes do you want?' and I have a simple form - the code is below:

<form action="addhouses.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="numimages" size="3">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

On the next page I want to display how ever many boxes they said on the previous page.
Let's say they choose 4 - there are then 4 boxes which allow you to browse to files on your computer. Clicking submit on this page takes you to the third page which uploads the files and inserts the filenames into the database. Currently the code I have on the third page works fine for a static number of defined boxes. It is: PHP Code:

Registration Form Checking The Two Password Boxes Are Matching
ive created a registration form that has various input text boxes including a "password" and a "verify password" one.

My issue is that when it comes to checking the two password boxes are matching.
At first i thought it was my syntax etc. but i've narrowed it down to the fact that my code isnt picking up the first password text box at all. Code:

Passing Info Of Checked Boxes(array Value) Using Next/previous Links
I have a webpage which generates product information from a database, with a checkbox next to each product. There are 20 products per page, and about 220 products right now. I have next and previous buttons on top which are generated dynamically using $PHP_SELF according to the # of products in the Database.

I can check off products that I want delete on one page and then click on a submit button, which deletes those products of the main page. Now my main question is this.....my array of checkboxes is named to[], can I check off products on 1 page, then click on next, etc etc. till I check all the products off i want to send delete to, but remember the values of all the previous checkboxes??

In other words when I click on submit for my last product, will it remember all the names that I checked off? PHP Code:

Processing Radio Boxes And Hidden Form Fields At The Same Time
I have a form that needs to be checked. It contains 4 radio boxes a submit button and 4 different hidden fields. How do I get my php script to check if a radio box has been selected and tell the user to check a radio box if he hasn't?

The script I am currently using doesn't work; if the user chacks some thing then it proceeds as usual, but if it is left blank then the program freezes up and nothing is displayed apart from the stuff outside the <?php?> tags.

Keep Text In Text Boxes After Form Is Rewritten
I'm trying to make a form that does the following:

(1) the user answers a question by typing in a text box
(2) a response is then written below the form, saying whether the answer is right or wrong and, perhaps making a comment of some kind
(3) the user's answer remains visible in the original text box

I've managed to write some code that does the first two things, but despite many attempts and much searching for code examples, I've failed to find a way of getting the answer to reappear in the text box when the page is rewritten.

This is my code:

Multiple Multiple Select Boxes

Reading XML!
How i can read XML file by PHP code.

Reading XML With PHP
First of all I want to say I do not have very clear understanding of
XML and PHP and what you can do with those two.
Now the problem I have is:
There is that booking company that sends data to me via XML and I have
in my server to read that XML and store it in a DB.
What I have no Idea how to do is read that XML.
To start with, I though they were using $_POST to upload an XML file,
but it seems they do not as when I get a request in my script I
print_r the $_POST and it is empty. The same with $_GET, empty.

Do you have any idea of other ways that they might send the XML data
and how can I read them with a PHP4 script?

Reading
I must read an HTML-free web page. The only documentation I have is this : :

temp: This request will return an HTML-free web page, consisting of a
simple ASCII string of pipe-delimited data. The data will be in the
format of :

"PROBE1_NAME|TEMP|PROBE2_NAME|TEMP…"

How can I do ?

Reading A TXT
I have a huge TXT with a list of streets:

street 1
street 2
street 3

I would like the php to read them and place them in the same order as they appear in the database inside the street column.
I know how to do it when txt looks like

street 1, street 2, street 3

but don't know how to handle with the line breaks. Any hints?

Reading Categories
I have a text file called cat.dat which contains the username and the categories they have selected. Another file users.dat is for username and password.

Now, my authentication part is working fine, but I can't read the cat.dat file to get their selected items.

Reading Url Values
I am able to pass values to the URL as this shows. I can get the id value and select data from mysql, but I cannot access the ln value. I have use various combos and acannot get it to read the ln value and display it. What am I doing or not doing? I have used get, post and result:

$id=$_GET[id];
$ln=$_POST[ln];
echo $_RESULT[ln]
