Saving Selection In Drop-down Lists In PHP After Page Reload?
I can't find an answer to my quesiton anywhere.
Given a drop-down list with USA states and other text fields I pass
this information for further processing via PHP. If any of the required
fields is empty, the PHP script would return an error and reload the
form page asking to fill out those fields. All entered information is
saved... except for the drop-down list selection. I tried to write a
Javascript function which is echoed by PHP, but interpolation of PHP
variables in the Javascript section gives a syntax error message in
Javascript.
The PHP script returns, e.g., an "AL" string for Alabama. Of course, I
don't want to write PHP code for each option to make it selected.

Autopopulating Drop Down Not Saving Unless A Selection Is Made
I have a form that autopopulates and allows user to make changes where necessary. In this form are some drop down menus (hardcoded on the page). All the selections (50 states for example) are there. If I select a state it will then post to the database. If I don't select a state and just leave it as the previously selected state (not change the selection already made by a user) it puts a blank in the database. Examples: The <?="$rest_state_pr"?> will pull the state the user selected previously. If I change the slelection it saves the new selection, but if I leave it as the "default" It puts a blank in the database. Code:

Multiple Lists Selection
I am using a simple registration form that i made with the toolbox, but when I come to a multiple list to choose from (populated from the database) it doesn't work correctly. Of course, out of the multiple items selected only the last one gets inserted. From what I have read, the selection must be turned into an array then looped for this to work. Is this correct? Next how would I code this to work right. If you let me know which code to post, I will post it.

Multiple Selection Lists &
I have 2 multiple selection lists. I am using javascript so that users can select items from list 1 and move them to list 2. When the user submits the form I need my php to get the values he has/she has in list 2... I have done printf($_POST['list_2']) and it only shows one value, even when multiple are selected. I read that I need to change it's name to list_2[] but if I add the brackets to the name my javascript quits working.

PHP And Drop-down Lists
I want a simple HTML drop-down list like this: <select name="select_1"> <option name="option_1" value="option_1" selected="true"> <option name="option_2" value="option_2" selected="false"> </select> to be able to automatically select a value according to a value in a table in the database. For example, if a MySQL table has a field named "field_1", and one of the rows has a value of "option_1" in that field, I want the list (using PHP of course) to automatically select the option name "option_1". How would I go about doing that?

Drop Down Lists And Textfields
I've found this is a great place to learn, so hopefully such can happen with the following: Basically, I'm trying to develop a world market for a text-based game wherein what is available is listed inside a drop-down list, followed by an input box where the user can enter the amount to purchase (up to the quantity amount available) and submit. Likewise, I've got a drop-down list populated via a MySQL query. Altogether, the page looks like this: My question is, how does one associate the input box with the drop-down list, assuming it's possible (which I would assume)? Currently, it displays correctly, however when one submits via the "Purcase Goods" button, nothing occurs. I'm not quite sure how to integrate everything coherently; my knowledge is limited in the area of PHP/HTML integration, so any explanation would be kindly appreciated. I know long streams of code are often unhelpful in pinpointing a problem (or problems), but in the interest of not excluding an element, here's the code of the file in question: ....

Dynamic Drop Lists For Modify
Hello, I hope this is posted in the correct forum. This is a mix of php and javascript and what I am trying to do combines the two so I hope this is the best place for this post. I have 2 situations, one when adding an employee and the other is modifying the employee. I have a drop list the holds all of the companies that when you select a company, it changes the droplist of departments to show the available departments for the chosen company. So the dept droplist dynamically changes based off the company you choose. I have this working perfectly. THis is for adding an employee. My problem I have now is I need to modify the employee and when you first pull up the form with the employee info, it is populated from a mysql query. The droplist for companies is selected to the correct company, however, the droplist for depts is not because the javascript code I have is set to fill the dept list on an onchange event which on page load does not exist. If they select a different company, my code works fine but when they first hit the page, the dept list is blank because the onchange event has not been kicked off. I realize this is javascript but I am not sure where my changes need to be made. below is my code for the companies and depts only. I will leave out the other employee info becasue it is irrelavent. I will post what I have so far and hopefully you can guide me in the right direction Code: ....

Page Reload
I have succesfully created a login page for my site. I have used the PHP_SELF so that once the user has succesfully logged on the page reloads. Everything works fine the first time somebody tries to log in but when they revisit, the log on page is bypassed and it goes straight to the information page. I have a sneaky suspicion that this is due to the fact that the page is then in their history of recently visited sites. How can I use PHP to refresh the page automatically everytime it is requested?

Reload Page On Die
I have a query that seems to fail about one out of five times, resulting in a completely blank page. Here's the query and the call to it (which appears before any HTML is displayed): PHP Code: $query = "SELECT msg.id, msg.to, msg.from, msg.subject, msg.date,   u1.first_name as to_first, u1.last_name as to_last,   u2.first_name as from_first, u2.last_name as from_last FROM messages msg, userprofiles u1, userprofiles u2 WHERE msg.read = 'n' AND u1.id = msg.to   AND u2.id = msg.from AND msg.to = '$userid' ORDER BY msg.date DESC"; $reslt_message = mysql_query($query, $conn) or die(mysql_error()); If there is anything wrong with this query, please let me know. Otherwise, assuming that the query is ok, would it be wrong (or even work at all) to put a header inside the "die" that reloads the page, or would that be bad practice? I can see the possibility of getting an infinite loop, but that could be remedied by adding a variable to the end of the header that would force the code to reload only if it hasn't reloaded yet. if that is clear. When the page crashes, refreshing it works. If I click the link to this page 10 times, it could be the 1st or 10th time that results in a crash, so I'm thinking that the query is ok but it is having trouble processing it or something, which is what led me to think about reloading the page.

Combo Box Value On Page Reload
I am new to php and mySQL so this is probably something very basic that I'm missing. Basically, on the page I have 2 combo boxes but 1 of them is not getting the value passed when the page is reloaded so the database can be updated. I am echoing the field names passed and the field "theDriver" is there but it's empty. I've include the code parts where I believe the problem should be but I'm stumped and I've been trying to solve this for 2 days without success. Would someone mind examing the following code and tell me what I've done wrong? Following code constructs the combo box on the page from a MySQL table: <?PHP $table = "tblEmployees"; $Link = mysql_connect ($host, $user, $password); $Query = "select concat(empID,' ',empFirstName,' ',empLastName) as full_name from $table WHERE empTitle = 'Driver'"; $results = mysql_db_query($database, $Query, $Link); ?> <b>Driver:</b> <select name = "theDriver" size="1"> <Option Value=" ">Select One:</option> <?PHP for($u=0;$u<mysql_num_rows($results); $u++) { $driver=mysql_result($results,$u,'full_name'); ?> <option value="<?PHP echo($ID); ?>"><? echo($driver); ?></option> <?PHP } ?> //end php </select> When Page is reloaded the following code is run but the combo box titled "theDriver" is empty foreach($_POST as $field => $value) { echo $field; //field names from form echo "; "; if ($field == "theDriver") { echo " - here's the driver for ya: "; $$field = strip_tags(trim($value)); echo $$field; $pos = strpos($driver, ";"); echo "<br> the ; is in pos $pos <br>";.......

Page Cache/reload
I have created a facility for users of a site to enter details of property (e.g. location, size etc.). This allows them to upload a picture. Users can also update a picture, adding a new picture to replace an existing one. My problem is that if a user changes/updates the picture and then views the details the old details are displayed unless the user manually clicks refresh. I know that this is because IE is storing the page in cache. I have tried the Meta Tags with "no cache" and "expires" but they don't work. I have also tried to get the page to refresh itself on loading, but it either doesn't work at all or keeps refreshing over and over again. Ideally i would like the page to just refresh once and then stop refreshing but there doesn't appear to be any way of doing this.

Does 'Back' Reload The Page?
I notice that when I click the 'Back' button my previous script runs, i.e, all the php code runs (I previously thought that maybe the previous form displays without the code re-running). However, I do not get the expected value displayed on my form. After populating one element in formA with ཌྷ' (just any number) and submitting to formB (using POST ---> Redirect --> GET to avoid the 'expired from cache' message) I then click the 'Back' button and the 17 does not appear. In the code below, after clickng 'Back', I see as output from the echo statement that rb_value[0] is, infact, ཌྷ' but within the form, the text element named rb_value[0] displays as empty. Does anyone have suggestions why this might be? It might have to do with that I do not understand what the 'back' button does. Or maybe with my PRG (post - redirect - get) model. Here is part of the code: echo "rb_value[0]=".$rb_value[0]; //After clicking 'Back' I see that rb_value[0] is 17 if (isset($rb_value[0])) { $rb_val = $rb_value[0]; } else { $rb_val = 1; } $line.= "<td width="20%" valign="center" align="left"> "; // This element displays as empty instead of the expected 17 $line.= "<input type=text name="rb_value[0]" value="$rb_val" size="25" maxlength=25 </center> " $line.= "</td> ";

Reload A Page After Execution Of A Mysql-query In Php
I am aware that this question might involve Javascript and MySQL. So far I haven´t found a suitable solution in JavaScript ng´s - maybe becauese php-programmers are more likely to come across the following problem: A script on my page relays a quite complicated query to a MySQL-server with mysql_query(...); The query works fine but takes very long - I usually have to wait for approx. 30 seconds before the query is returned from MySQL and the results displayed by php on a webpage. I´d rather have the results of the query written into a nice textfile and display a text like "Results are being retrieved" in stead of the actual results and have the page reloaded a f t e r the textfile has been updated. The newly loaded page then would obviously first check whether this very textfile has been updated or not and read out its contents in case it is has been updated less then let´s say two minutes ago. I hope I can make myself understood...:) My question is: what actual code (I am almost sure it must be JavaScript and not PHP) does PHP have to generate in order for the page to reload after the results are retrieved and stored in the textfile?
