Dropdown List Which Selects A Post A Title (to Edit)
I want to have a dropdown list which selects a post a title (to edit), then when you click submit I want to use POST to submit the data for that post (post title, username, subject, content) so that the edit pages form fields will already be filled with the posts data.

Dropdown Selects From $_POST
I'm still working on my form, and part of the form is an age select dropdown. I'm leading them through an approval process and if they'd like, returning them to the form to fix any errors. The only way I know of having it show up correct in the dropdowns is to do an if statement on each option from the $_POST data. This is cumbersome, as I have 3 selection boxes with many options in each. Is there a better way to do this than to create an if statement for each option?

GET, POST, Multi-Selects
When the HTML of a form has a field name 'choices' and has five checkboxes with that name, each with a different value, like this: Code: <form name="testform" action="processor.php" method="post"> <input type="checkbox" name="choices" value="One">One <input type="checkbox" name="choices" value="Two">Two <input type="checkbox" name="choices" value="Three">Three <input type="checkbox" name="choices" value="Four">Four <input type="checkbox" name="choices" value="Five">Five <input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit"> </form> In PHP, without altering the HTML at all (assume that I have no control over the HTML because there will be remote forms already coded by others that submit to this script) if I look at the values through the PHP-approved method (assuming that every checkbox was checked by the user), I see: Code:

Use Strcmp To Edit A Dynamically Generated Dropdown...
I've written a code that runs a 'SHOW DATABASES' query on my mysql server and lists the results(the names of the databases on my server) in a dynamically generated dropdown box, and it works just fine, using the following code: echo "<select name='databaseselect'>"; $dblist = mysql_query('SHOW DATABASES'); while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($dblist)) { echo "<option value='$row2[0]'>$row2[0]</option>"; } echo "</select>"; The problem is that it lists ALL of the databases on my server - that's two of my own user-created databases, and the two default databases that come with the mysql server - 'information_schema' and 'mysql'. What I want to do is to, after running the 'SHOW DATABASES' query, eliminate those two databases from appearing in the dropdown box, because I don't want anyone to see them, as they're useless to anybody else.

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
I have a list of variables: $variable[0] $variable[1] $variable[2] The amount of variables changes so i've used $total = count($variable) to find the amount there are. How would i tell php to create a dropdown menu with the amount of options=$total and then fill the options with $variable[0] etc. I know i can use a loop to increase the value of say $i by one each time to that i can use $variable[$i] each time, i'm just stuck with adding the whole thing to a dropdown menu with the right number of option...

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.

Post Edit System
I'm trying to work on my edit system on my site, after realising that a separate edit box wouldn't be possible under each message if the user had pressed edit on that post I decided on doing what all modern forums do, use a separate page to edit the corresponding post. So far I am using <a href='?action=edit&id=$row[id]'>Edit[/url] under each post which works fine. I've got it displaying a edit box at the bottom of the main news page(index) but it's a little far away right down the bottom of the page. How can I do it like this forum and many others do?

How Do I Edit A List Of Files Associated With A Product ?
-I wrote a script that you use it to add products in the database. -Each product is associated with files. -In the Form to add the product you have to enter the product name in a textfield and below there are $no_of_add_file filefields. $no_of_add_file is an integer that determines the Maximum number of filefields that you want to associate/add for each product. So it succesfully adds the product and the files in a database and the filesystem. The problem I am trying to solve is how am I going to edit those files in the product. If you know what I mean... and you have done something like that or you know a url or script that does that, pls let me know. What I need mostly, is not the PHP code but the logic and what are the possible ways of doing something like that. In the database i have two tables that this script needs: One is the products and the other the files. Products : product_id, product_name Files : file_id, file_name, product_id
