Autopopulate Dropdown List From Database
An events-registration page with a form containing a dropdown list for upcoming events, the events will be pulled from a table which is updated by...?
what i've gathered so far is that this can be done with PHP. I am a little unclear on the concept of how this is done. How does the updated information get input into the table?
1) can this be done (updating database) through a web interface by the client, or is it something i would have to do locally and then upload. If done by the client, can he delete/edit existing information--assuming he is not familiar with code.
2) what other things aside from html(good), sql(so-so), and php(newb) will i have to know?
i've seen a lot of good tutorials here and will have access to the necessary software. I just want to know if there is anything else i should know before i dive in head first without testing the PHP water, which i assume is frigid.

Smarter Way Of Doing Dropdown List?
I've got a dropdown list that is acting as a filter on a table, so the user can select a value and the page is reloaded only showing the matching values from the database. Now when the page reloads the dropdown was set to 'all' as it was first in the list, even if I'd selected a different value, this was confusing for users, so I added an initial <option> field which pulled the correct value from $_GET (code below) - however this is a little odd as it means the value appears twice! Does anyone have a genius solution to this? I've seen a <select selected="yes"> sort of thing around, but I don't know how I can tell the php to add this value dynamically? <select size='1' name='occupation'> <option>".$_GET['occupation']."</option> <option value='All'>All</option> <option value='Student'>Students</a></option> <option value='Professional'>Professional</option> <option value='Hobbyist'>Hobbyists</option> </select>

Add Variables To Dropdown List

Selecting The Database Value In A List
I am doing a PHP website using Dreamveaver built in server behaviors, and am getting my hands wet on PHP now. I have a list of countries in a drop down menu list in a form. A user selects a country, and it is saved in the database. now on the Edit Screen, I want to show the list of countries again to the user for any changes, but I want to pre-select the value that was selected originally, and was stored in the database. so this time, the dropdown menu box should show the saved country by default, which could be changed. how do I do this in Dreamveaver. If it is not straightforward, please suggest the PHP code to do this, and I will try to update it myself in the code window.

Must Database Table Be Called Up For Dependent List Box Form?
I want to produce a form which will post selections named size and drive to to a file blindsize.php. Looking around this forum and the web, it seems that the only way to do this is to set up a database table (I would set up one in MySQL) and call up that with javacript. If setting up a MySQL table is the answer, then I would probably use this script. But as I am also new to javascript, I would now have a further learning curve with that, though at first glance the script tutorial looks very good. But is setting up a database table the only way for a php user? When I first started looking around, I had though the way might be a series of elseif lines.
