Auto Select Dropdown Lists From Db Values
I want a simple HTML drop-down list like this: Code:
<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".

Dropdown Lists
I've been doing a site for a while now that has several drop down lists in a form. On one form there is the same drop down list repeated 3 times from the same table in a database but with different values. What would be the best way to repeat the code without repeating all of the code. Basically looking at an more economical way to do things. Would you do a while statement and loop through them or maybe a single array and call it when you need it. Any opions?

Dynamic Dropdown Lists
I am recoding a greeting card website. I am using dropdowns as filters for items in a DB, so when the user picks "animals" from the "theme" dropdown, the returned cards all feature animals, and when the user picks "birthday" from the "message" option, the returned cards all feature birthday cards. However, there are some combinations that don't return any results, for example "get well" "floral" cards. Code:

Create State-cty Dropdown Lists
I've gotten everything up and running except for this -- I'd like to be able to have people have a dropdown list of cities in the US to use (or wherever) and not have to input them manually into a text field. When you do then there are issues of misspellings, etc. Now I have a list of cities from each state that is a sample that works in an html page. Problem is that it takes up 2 MB! Way too much to load on a single page and I was wondering how this is accomplished best -- do people use javascripts that can pull information from another flat flie? Do people use PHP to connect to a mysql database that might have a list of these fields and then reloads the page? I'm really not sure of best options and would be grateful for anyone to give me pointers or whether there are other examples and even places to buy these databases (not likely but good to have if I decide to do so.)

Dynamic Dropdown And Hardcode Dropdown In Select Form
I have plenty of examples of dynamic dropdown choices but none of hardcoded dropdown choices.

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.

Creating Form 'select Lists' Using PHP
Is it by any chance possible to use mysql and php to auto create the content for drop-down lists on forms by retrieving the values from a database? The reason i ask is that on a site i am making i am asking users to select from list (e.g. nationality) however i would like to avoid typing out every possible value of which there are about 40 (which change). I would much prefer to keep a seperate table in my database for the site.

One Result Set Makes Two Lists With Same Keys And Values
I have a page with two drop-downs, each listing the same employee names and their id's as the values. So they look like: <select name="selection_1"> <option value="12">Curly</option> <option value="8">Larry</option> <option value="36">Moe</option> </select> ....then further down the page: <select name="selection_2"> <option value="12">Curly</option> <option value="8">Larry</option> <option value="36">Moe</option> </select> Currently I am doing this, which works but seems sloppy: <select name="selection_1"> <? while($employees=mysql_fetch_assoc($qry_rslt)) { /* ADD NAMES TO DROPDOWN WITH emp_id's AS THEIR VALUES */ ?><option value="<?=$employees['emp_id']?>"><?=$employees['name']?></option><? /* CREATE ANOTHER ARRAY WITH THE emp_id AS THE KEY */ $emp_list_2[$employees['emp_id']]=$employees['name']; } ?> </select> Then on the second drop-down: <select name="selection_2"> <? foreach($emp_list_2 as $key => $emps) { ?> <option value="<?=$key?>"><?=$emps?></option> <? } ?> </select>

Having A Little Trouble With PHP/MySQL Duplicate Auto-increment Values
I wrote some code to store some values in a table to dynamically display ads on the right column of my site. This code allows you to organize their order, remove, update, etc... In order to do this, everytime there is a change made to the layout, I first delete all the records for the current page then I re-insert everything. The problem is, that on rare occassions this fails because the auto-increment value of the primary key eg. 127, is already in the table taken by another record. I should mention that the id field (primary key, auto-increment) is never manually inserted, I always pass a blank value for auto-increment to take care of it. Is this some kind of MySQL bug, or could it have something to do with my DELETE before inserting again?

Select Distinct Values In Only 2 Columns
I have a table where a customer may have multiple accounts. I want to eliminate duplicate values for Customer_ID and Account_ID -- regardless of their state or region. I tried this, SELECT (DISTINCT Acct_ID, Cust_ID), Address, City,State, Zip,Country, Contact, State_ID,Region_ID, FROM t_table but it doesn't work. This (below) does work, but it gives 2 records. One record when a person is listed once in a target state, and a second record if that person is listed in an overlapping region. SELECT DISTINCT Acct_ID, Cust_ID, Address, City,State, Zip,Country, Contact, State_ID,Region_ID, FROM t_table (this is the same as) SELECT DISTINCTROW Acct_ID, Cust_ID, Address, City,State, Zip,Country, Contact, State_ID,Region_ID, FROM t_table Is there any other way to select distinct values in only 2 columns?

Convert CSVs To Select Option Values
I was just wondering if someone could point me to a good web resource that could help me figure out how to convert a string of comma separated values (being pulled from a database) into a select menu (pulldown box) so that the values from the CSV would automatically fill in the displayed text area of the option tags as well as the value attribute so the value selected could actually be passed as a variable. I imagine it has something to do with converting the CSV list into an array using substring parsing & then dynamically building the array from the elements of the array, but I just haven't been able to put it all together yet. If anyone is familiar with anything published on the web that might help, I'd be deeply appreciative.
