[PEAR:QuickForm] Dynamically Change A Dropdown Menu According To Another Menu?
I've been using QuickForm for a few months now and I am now given a
new challenge:

I've got a search form with a dozen of dropdown menus, the first
dropdown menu being "Brand". If you select either Brand A, B, C, D...
Z, the second dropdown menu "Model" must be dynamically changed to
model AA, AB, AC, AD..., according to the models manufactured by the
brand selected in the first box.

I've seen that done on quite a few sites, but never found if QuickForm
had a quick & clean way of doing that.

Mysql / Dropdown Menu
what i am trying to do is to make a system with a few input pages and edit and read pages..

so right now i got the input/edit/read pages working. (yay) But now I want to have on 1 input page a dropdown menu that reads its information from the database. and that if i go to the page i can select a value out of the db and submit that inside my form and that it reminds the value if i view or edit the page.

So what i got now is a little system that is able to add/remove/edit a value inside a field called "drop01"

2 Questions. Dropdown Menu And # Of Rows.
1. I have a table named pics and a column named name, just to let you know for use. I want to take the data from each row in the name column and insert it into a dropdown menu.

I know how I could do it, but I would have to go:

Code:
<SELECT NAME="name" SIZE="1">
<OPTION SELECTED><?php $name[10 ?>
<OPTION><?php $name[1] ?>
<OPTION><?php $name[2] ?>
<OPTION><?php $name[3] ?>
<OPTION><?php $name[4] ?>
<OPTION><?php $name[5] ?>
<OPTION><?php $name[6] ?>
</SELECT>
but then I could make too many or too less. I want it to automatically adjust to the number of rows.

2.What is the code needed to find out how many rows are in a table?

Unwanted URLs In URL Dropdown Menu
I'm working on a PHP script and it has a user login, and the variables (username, password, id number) are passed via the URL bar. Is it possible to somehow not allow the visited page show up in the dropdown list of URLs in the browser? The problem is that people can view the list and easily see people's usernames and passwords. Example:

http://www.somesite.com?username=john&password=12345 What I only want is:
http://www.somesite.com/

I know that Hotmail.com doesn't show all of the pages that have been visited, all it shows in the list is hotmail.com, so I think it is possible to do this, but I don't know how.

Dropdown Menu <selected Name="...
I have a dropdown menu like this one:

<select name="country" tabindex="6" id="select_country">
<option value="">- Country List -</option>
<?php 
$query = "SELECT * FROM country ORDER BY country ASC";

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result)) {

<option value="<?php echo $country ?>"><?php echo $country ?></option>

After I have selected one country and I hit the submit button it go back to the default value in the box, what I want is to show the selected value in box until I selected another value.

If the default value is Australia when I start this page, I then select USA and hit the submit button it reset to the default value "Australia", but I want it to show USA as long I not select anything else. I have tried to use session in selected="<?php echo $_SESSION['country']; ?>" but it didnt work.

Pagination And Dropdown Menu Used In Searching Mysql

I also only want to show 25 results per page. I have that working correctly. My problem is that when I combine the two it breaks the code. The pagination works fine without the dropdown and vice versa. I think it is due to the variable that is being used to choose the collumn in the sql query. Code:

Chain Menu But The Menu Should Be Multiple Select Menu/list
I am looking for codes to be able to do the same thing with multiple select menu/list.

PHP codes or javascripts codes are both fine.

1) javascript + php approach: Prefer to be javascripts codes to display the chain menu. I can use the php to get the all three levels menu data from the database, and assign these values to the javascript.

2) php codes only: Or use the pure php codes (the problem is if just using php codes then I have to submit the form to the server every time, when top level menu select changes to create new menu.).

Assigning A Value
Hi all,
I have a form that when submitted goes to the script below:

<?

$date_in = date("Ymd");

$db = mysql_connect('localhost', '', '');

if (!$db)
{
echo "Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again later.";
exit;
}

mysql_select_db("rip");

$query = "insert into securepay(pay_id, name, address, city, postcode, telephone, instructions, ponum, optional_info, amount, merchant_id, date_in)
values('$pay_id','$name','$address','$city','$postcode','$telephone','$instructions','$ponum','$opti onal_info','$amount','$merchant_id','$date_in')";

$result=mysql_query($query);

if($result)
header ("Location: sales_cc.php?pay_id=$pay_id");

echo "<br><a href="membership.php">Back to Members</a>";
?>

My problem is that when the data is inserted into the database and the header function is executed the $pay_id value on the sales_cc.php page always equals "0". How can i assign the correct value for $pay_id corresponding to the form entry?

I don't know if i have explained this too clearly but if you reply i can answer your questions.

Assigning Values To Variables
I was attemping to make an array of configuration variables for Smarty when I ran into this little problem. Here's some example code first of all:

<?php

class Testclass {
  var $testvar = 'something';
}

$test = new Testclass;
echo "before foreach: $test->testvar
"; # echos 'something'

$arr = array('testvar', 'something elseeeee');

foreach ($arr as $key => $value) {
  $test->$key = $value; # set $test->[variable] to $value
}

echo "after foreach: $test->testvar
"; #echos 'something'

Problem. This outputs "something" in both places, while I expected it to echo "something elseeee" after the foreach is done. Setting $test->testvar manually and outputting it workes fine, but breaks in the foreach. To me this seems weird, but might just be how PHP workes. If that's the case, how do I work around this?
