Dynamically Populated List Menu
I have a DB with a field called county in a table called info. I want to populate the list menu below with the counties in the field county.
Would there be a way to get around the fact that there will be many entries with the same county and we want only 1 instance in the list menu? Code:

Duplicates In A Dropdown Menu Populated From My Database
I've been searching to figure out how not to have duplicates in a dropdown menu populated from my database. This is what I have, but how do I change it to get rid of duplicates. <?php $result = mysql_query("SELECT City FROM residential order by City"); echo "<select MULTIPLE NAME="City_code">"; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo "<option name="City" value="$row[City]">$row[City]</option>"; } ?> </select>

[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.

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.).

Dynamically Populate Drop-down List And Dynamically Include Html File
We have a drop down list on a PHP page, with several product names, and when people click one item, we will refresh the same page with the product name as parameter, and in turn we want to include a HTML file into the content area of the same page. I know it is recommended to put everything into database, but we want the web site to be very "portable", so the drop-downlist and the content should both in text files. Let's say the drop-down list will be poplulated from the product.txt file, and there will be a file for each corresponding item in the drop-down list. From the user point of view, if he wants to add a new product, he will just need to open the product.txt file, and add a new line with the product name, "Laptop", then add a new text file named "laptop" in the same folder which contains the HTML fragment to be included in the content area. What is the easiest way to do this?

Dynamic List Populated By MySQL Table
I am building my first php page and I've ran into problems trying to create a dynamic drop down list for an INSERT page. My page is based on this example from mysql.com. I want to populate the list from a table in MySQL, but when I test the page the list only contains the first record. If anyone can help me out, or recommend an easy way to create dynamic menus/lists, I will be very grateful. This code appears above the FORM ACTION: $NearMajorCity = mysql_query("SELECT NearMajorCity_ID, NearMajorCity FROM NearMajorCity"); This code is within the FORM: <SELECT NAME="NearMajorCity" SIZE=1> <OPTION SELECTED VALUE="">Select One <OPTION VALUE="">--------- <?php while ($NearMajorCity = mysql_fetch_array($NearMajorCity)) { $NearMajorCity_ID = $NearMajorCity["NearMajorCity_ID"]; $NearMajorCity = $NearMajorCity["NearMajorCity"]; echo("<OPTION VALUE='$NearMajorCity_ID'>$NearMajorCity "); } ?> </SELECT> I want to be able to view the names of the Major Cities in the list, but I want the NearMajorCity_ID inserted into the table.

Dynamically Generated Drop Down List
I have two tables - one named HOBBIE_TYPES, the other named MY_HOBBIES. The HOBBIE_TYPES table contains records listing a wide variety of different hobbies. This table is used with a PHP script to dynamically generate a drop down menu on a form that users can use to select and specify their favorite hobbies. Once they do so, their selection is added to the MY_HOBBIES table. However, if a user decides to add more hobbies to their profile, I want the drop down list to exclude any hobbies that they have already added in the MY_HOBBIES table. The code that I am using is as follows, and it is not doing what I want: PHP Code: .....

Ordering A Drop-down Menu List
I am building a form that has a list/menu populating from 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.

Any Reason Why $_FILES['userfile']['error'] Wouldn't Be Populated?
I am in the middle of writing an image upload script and am limiting the size of uploads via upload_max_filesize. This all seems to be working well, and if I try and upload a bigger file then I get an UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE sat in $_FILES['userfile']['error']. All hunkey dorey. However, in my testing there are one or two large files that cause problems. PHP appears to abort the upload early as it should, but when my script runs, $_FILES isn't populated at all?! I have tried to narrow down the difference in these file but I can't seem to find anything definate. All the ones that fail are AVI or WMV files if that gives any clue, but even if I rename them to MPG (others of which work ok), and check the MIME type being sent up has also changed to mpg, then they still fail as before. I have sent bigger and smaller files all ok, so it's not size. I can't see anything in the filename itself that would cause problems.
