Can You Read A Value Into A List Menu?


a system i am developing has both a user and an admin side. The user can add a record and then the status of this is initially set to a fixed value.

What I am wondering is, if i stick with a list of say 4 possible status', how can i get whatever status the admin changes the record to to be "sticky" on the menu the next time he looks at the call, as opposed to the menu showing the default value set in dreamweaver?

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.).

Select List/Menu Using PHP And MYSQL
Here is my code:

A few words to describe:
-$row_AllCountries['country_ID'](get from MySQL) is a unique country ID number
-$row_AllCountries['countryname'](get from MySQL) is the name of the country
-$acountry is the country ID number that i want to be selected when the form loads

I have all the values and country names named OK...the only problem is that when the form loads it selects the last country.

Ordering A Drop-down Menu List
I am building a form that has a list/menu populating from the database. I'm using Dreamweaver to help code (which I know adds a mess), but I can usually edit it to do what I want. this is what it has:

although if you have any generic code, I can play with it to get it to alphabetize my list. (the list is specialtyName and specialtyID is going into the database.

Default Menu/List Option
I'm trying to create a form with three menus, each with the same values, and I have no problems there. Each menu has it's initial value set at "None" and then the rest of the values are pulled from my MySQL db. Everything works great if the user selects three values that came from the database or selects something from the first menu but not the other two and then submits. The problem is when the user doesn't select anything from the first menu.

The next page reads the form value as "" instead of "None" but only for the first menu. The other three menus work fine. I know this isn't really php related, but this is usually such a helpful forum that I thought I'd post here before I start to search for some helpful html forum. Answers would be greatly appreciated, but so would corrections for my terminology (which I think I am confused about) or a good link to a place where I should be asking this question.

Flat File List Style Menu
I'm trying to build a Menu Building out of flatfiling with a section to add new areas to it.  The idea behind it is to have a header for each section (as the top order list item) then each one below is a link of that category.

I already figured I'm buillding it with limits (20 items Max per heading) and that to do it I will simply have each Heading/links in it be a new row in the document.  example row Tips tips.php Tips on Php, file tips File Tips tips/files.php, etc etc

With the first item of each row being the Heading and each other being the ones under it My question is What delimiters should I use to seperate in the row (I need to separate each item by 1 delimiter and then in each row separate the href, alt, name)

Secondly for rewrtiign it should I simply write it so each time it rewrites the whole file or should  I try and do string replacing and do modify sorta deal.

How Do You Convert A TCL List Into A String That PHP Can Read?

Fgetcsv Returns False In Dynamic Read Vs. Hard-coded Read ??
I am working with directories in PHP for the first time. I have code
that I've changed multiple times to try different things. I would think
this is pretty standard fare so I'm not sure why I can't seem to get it
right.

What I would like to see happen:

The code opens the directory and loops through the files, opening them
and processing them.

What is happening:

If I hard code the name of one particular file (it is always the same
file) in my test setting, fgetcsv does not return false and the code
runs fine. The file is parsed and all is well. However, if I let the
code open a directory and then loop through the files, this one
particular txt file does not work. For debug purposes, I have it
displaying each file name and it can display the name, it just won't
process it.

I've even tried setting a for loop and hard coding each file name
(since right now I know the names - I won't in the future) and the file
is processed. It is only when it is set to my $file var dynamically
rather than being hard coded.

Here is the code:
$handle_dir = opendir('../directory_name');
/* loop over the directory. */
$countfile=0;
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle_dir))) {
$countfile++;
$filevalues = "";
//Skip the first two files that where found because they are
"." and ".."
if ($countfile 2) {
//echo $file;
//begin loop through each file name
$handle = fopen($file, "r");
echo "Filename is: $file<BR>";//at this point the
code can print the file name
if (false == ($filevalues =
fgetcsv($handle,6021,','))){
echo 'problems<br>'//for one particular file,
this always displays
}

Get List Of Messages From One Table, Message List Indicator From
I have two tables. One has a list of messages left by users using fields named mbxno for the mailbox and msgno for the message number. I have another table that has mailbox settings for each user that contains a field named "messagelist" to indicate if they want to be included on the message list or not.

What I'm trying to create is a list of the most-recent messages with a lookup on the users table to indicate whether a message in the list should be included in the message list based on the user's mailbox settings.

SELECT messages.msgno, messages.mbxno, users.messagelist FROM messages, users WHERE (users.messagelist = &#391;') ORDER BY msgno DESC LIMIT 100

What I'm getting, though is a list that looks like this:

mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1

I think what's happening is that I'm using the wrong type of join and more rows are being created than necessary.

If I add "DISTINCT" to the query, I get a list of the most-recent messages as I expect, but the "messsagelist" value is sometimes wrong (again, probably because the data is getting jumbled). For example, the messagelist value for the second row (2214) should be 0, not 1.

mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2214 msgno: 0412141622 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2189 msgno: 0412141408 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0003 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2265 msgno: 0412132029 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412131950 msglist: 1

How should I be doing this? If nothing else, what kind of join will work with a long list compared to a value from a short list?
