Detect What Option The User Selected And Then Direct That User To The Selected Page.
Quick question regarding HTML forms and select fields. I want to be able to detect what option the user selected and then direct that user to the selected page. <select> <option name="1">1.html</option> <option name="2">2.html</option> </select> when the user selects, 1.html, it'll direct them to http://www.domain.com/1.html same with 2.html. I wasn't sure if this was done with PHP or Javascript, if its possible on both, which is better?

Selected Combo Box
i have the following code and i am having problems with setting the combox to select the value that is stored in the database. i am hoping that the combo box selects the value and the value from the database is stored in $title PHP Code: <?php function displayedit($id,$title,$fn,$ln,$instit,$depart,$email,$url,$room,$phone) {Â Â echo ' Â Â <form name="editform" method="post" action="editform.php"> Â Â <p class="body"><b>Title:</b>' Â Â Â Â $t ="Dr","Professor","Mr", "Ms" Â Â Â Â echo "<select name='selectTitle'>"; Â Â Â Â foreach ($t as $value) { Â Â Â Â Â echo "<option value="$tvalue"";

Combo/list Box Showing Values Selected
I have a combo box being populated dynamically through php using a mysql database, and everything works fine. My question is: How would i make it keep the values selected, once the user hits the submit button? For example, let's say i have a combo box with the values 1 2 3 4 5 in it. The user selects Ɖ' and hits the submit button (which posts to the same page). At that point, i'd like the combo box to still have Ɖ' selected, instead of resetting itself.

PHP And A Pre-selected Option In A Form
I've got a little text editor thing on my site, and to open a file, you input the file name and choose the folder from a drop-down list and click the Open button. The default filename is "index" and that file keeps track of all the files contained in that folder. It works okay. What's annoying is that regardless of what folder you're messing around in, the drop down list always goes back to showing the default folder name as the page is reloaded. I want it to be preselected to the folder it's in. It seems simple enough--the folder you're in is $_GET['dir']. But I've read some HTML form how-tos, and I can only see that you can preselect using the tabindex="" or selected attribute.

Set The Selected Text For Option Box Of A Menu..
Having major issues with this simple task, and I cant work out why its not doing as it should/expected. Basically, ive got a drop down box with the added bit of php: <select name="title" id="title"> <?php if($_SESSION['title'] != "") { echo '<option value="'. $_SESSION['title'] .'" selected="selected"></option>' } else { echo "<option value="" selected></option>"; } ?> <option>Mr</option> <option>Mrs</option> <option>Miss</option> <option>Ms</option> <option>Dr</option> </select> Basically, if the user submits a form, the title is stored in the session, this works fine, and then when returned to the page, the value should be filled in. Yet, when they return to the page, there value they selected is not shown in this box, instead, theres just a gap. The source seems correct, and this is whats shown: <select name="title" id="title"> <option value="Mr" selected="selected"></option>

How To Get Form To Remember Selected Option?
I am now trying to make a form remember which color (a select list) they selected before pressing any of the submit buttons. I entered this code into the form: <select name="color"> <option value="red">red</option> <option value="blue">blue</option> </select> The submit is a GET type. For example, if the user selects blue and then clicks on either one of the "submit" buttons, I want the form to remember/show the blue option. Right now the select list always goes back to red, the first choice. I tried doing a <?php echo $red; ?> and <?php echo $blue; ?> for the option value, but this does not work since the select list needs a value.

Select Option Stays Selected
I have a normal drop down menu: <select name="status" class="db_list_text"> <option value="All" selected="selected">All</option> <option value="True">Active</option> <option value="False">Inactive</option> </select> The idea for this is for the user to select either true or false and then to click submit to find data that matches either one. The coding is in the same page so the form basically just reloads the page and grabbes whatever info is requested. How can I with PHP, make it that the dropdown stays on the selected option when the page is reloaded?

I am using the following code to loop 12 months backwards from the current month in a drop down list - using the get method. I'm having difficulties trying to get the option selected once I have submitted the form.

So basically, I need to be able to select a month > hit submit and when the form returns, have the drop down list show me the selected item. Code:

PHP/MySQL: Query Based On Selected Form Option
Using PHP and MySQL. Trying to put a list of categories into a drop down select option of a form like: <form name="form" action="<? print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="get"> <select name="subject"> <option value=""></option> <option value="field1">Field 1</option> <option value="field2">Field 2</option> </select> <input type="submit" name="Submit" /> </form> Then I want to process it so the MySQL query gets done depending on what was selected. I came up with this: //connect to database mysql_connect("$dbhost","$dbuser","$dbpass"); mysql_select_db("$dbase") or die("Unable to select database"); // Build SQL Query if (isset($_GET['subject'])) { switch($_GET['subject']) { case 'field1': $query = "select * from tips where category = 'field1'"; break; case 'field2': $query = "select * from tips where text like 'field2' "; break; default: echo 'No subject found' } } $results=mysql_query($query); $numrows=mysql_num_rows($results); etc etc etc But that switch doesn't seem to work. Anyone have a suggestion as to how I can code this to do the MySQL query based on the subject?

Remember Selected Value DropDown
I am attempting to have a drop down menu that displays url from 1 table called links the same table also contains a name for the url. i.e. google.com = name and http://www.google.com = url The value of just the url from links is stored in a separate table called users in a field named search after form is submitted by user. Everything Posts correctly except when go back to edit the record and submit the form the drop down box does not retain the value of what had been previously selected although it is the correct record until form is updated when whatever value is currently in the drop down list will update the record. I know the code is doing exactly what it is told to do, because I have no functionality in it to recall the value from the field search in the users table. I don't know if it is something I would have to add to the array or option value. I can get it to work if it is all hard coded, but I am attempting not to do this. I am pretty new to php mysql and any help is greatly appreciated. This is the code I am working with that came mostly from a tutorial. PHP Code:

Get The Data For The Selected Item And Not The First It Comes Across?
I use the GROUP BY command in one of my queries, the trouble is although they share a common field sometimes the data differs in other fields for an individual record. Is it possible with the command to get the data for the selected item and not the first it comes across? For instance if the data is this ID, Cat ID, Name, Data 1, 1, Name 1, bla bl1 2, 1, Name 2, bla bl2 when grouping by cat id and group concat the name, irrespective of the id that is input to the database the query will deliver. Cat ID: 1 Name: Name 1,Name 2 Data: bla bl1 What I want is for the query to output 'bla bl1' when the id on the php page is 1 and 'bla bl2' when the id on the php page is 2. Is this possible? If the way I've explained it is confusing let me know and I'll try to make it clearer.
