Dynamic Dropdown And Hardcode Dropdown In Select Form
I have plenty of examples of dynamic dropdown choices but none of hardcoded dropdown choices. The ultimate goal is to have a job with various tasks and to track the status of those tasks for a given job. I've used one of the tutorials here to begin the process. Below is the code I have to add work on a given task. Perhaps I actually need to "Update" a job as opposed to "add". But the problem of the moment is I can't seem to hardcode one set of my options. This is the code I have: PHP Code:

Dynamically Selecting Default From Dropdown
I have a dropdown menu with 17 options that I want to use to edit a mysql entry. Before I edit it though I want to load the value of that particular mysql column as the pre-selected value in the drop down. Whats the best way to accomplish this. I figured I could write 17 if than statements but thats seems a bit tidious especially if I have more then 17 options. I'd preffer to have the code written out for the options and just add in the selected statement if possible. PHP Code: <select name="country" id="country"> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <option value="1">CAN</option> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <option value="2">USA</option> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <option value="3">RUS</option> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <option value="4">CZE</option> </select> If the result for country = 1 I'd like to add the selected code to the option.

Dynamic Dropdown
This may be rudimentary but I'm just trying to get my head around this without having to write a billion lines of extraneous code. I have a dropdown selection list, populated from a mySQL database, containing times in a HH:MM:SS format. The times are 30 minutes interval spanning an entire day, as in 01:00:00, 01:30:00, 02:00:00 all the way to 24:00. I have it entering fine into the database, but when I want to edit this time, I'd like to have the value in the database be marked as the CHECKED value on the dropdown so I don't have to manually re-enter the time for every edit.

Dynamic Dropdown Lists
I am recoding a greeting card website.

However, there are some combinations that don't return any results, for example "get well" "floral" cards. Code:

Dynamic Content Using Dropdown
I have the following dropdown menu which is populated by content or categories (with catID being the category ID) from the database. What I want to do though is when an item in the drop down list is selected, I want to show dynamic content under it. BTW, I must not emphasize on "dynamic" too much because it may seem like a DHTML thing going on here. For example, if a user selects a certain item/category in the list, I want content such as coupons in the DB which have the same catID as the category selected showing up. The coupons are discreetly placed in the DB table "coupons" with the category ID being catID and...for eg: catID --- couponname --- couponinfo --- expiredate If you are going to include any kind of javascript, please write them as well. Here is the code I am starting off with: =========================== <form name="myform"> <select name="selectID" size=10 > <? $resultcat = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Category"); while ($myrow2 = mysql_fetch_array($resultcat)) {?><?printf("<option value=%s>%s</option>", $myrow2["catID"],$myrow2["name"]); } ?></select></form>

MySQL Dropdown
Is there a way to make a dropdown by getting the options directly from the database? And I'm using this as a form so it has to have a name so I can call upon the value and do something to it. Example to what I want to do: - I have a database table named members and in that table, it has 3 columns - name, age, sex. What I want to do is make a dropdown inside a <form> using the data from the database. And then when the person selects the name of the member and presses submit, it deletes the row with that name from the table and the database.
