Populating SELECT Multiple Form Field And Inserting Into Db
I have an update form where I'm trying to populate a SELECT multiple field with a list of 48 categories, from tbl work_cat. And show, as SELECTED, the one or many choices that the user had previously selected from the 48 categories which are stored in tbl cat_relations as $relation_cat.
Then allow the user to update their selections and update the database. But I can't get my form to work. First problem, I can't get the SELECT field on the form to show the categories, and then I don't know where to go from there. Below are my form page and my processing page. Code:

Inserting Then Extracting Multiple Values In Single Db Field.
I need to submit multiple values into a single table field that have been retrieved from a form eg: limit1 ... limit10. At the moment they are seperated by commas in the field (limit1,limit2 etc) thinking I extract these with explode() then assign them as individual variables ($limit1 etc.) so they can be edited by the same form.

Php / Javascript Multiple Select Field
I have a javascript that will send the values of one multiple select field to another, which works fine, however for PHP to get the values of the field I need to name it as an array eg name="testing[]". While both components work individually they do not together, if I specify in the js to update the values of testing[] it will fail. is their a way to get around this? can php get this array any other way?

Problem With SELECT Field In A Form
I have a database with fields "name", "attr1" and "attr2". I have also a form with a select field (with the names from the db) and two text boxes (with attr1 and attr2 from the db). The idea is when the selection in the list is changed, the text boxes to get the values from the dv, corresponding to the selected value of the list.

Form Select Field Problem
<form action='test.php' method='post'> <input type='checkbox' name='test' value=Ƈ'><br/> <input type='checkbox' name='test' value=ƈ'><br/> <input type='checkbox' name='test' value=Ɖ'><br/> <input type='checkbox' name='test' value=Ƌ'><br/> <input type='checkbox' name='test' value=Ǝ'><br/> <input type='submit' name='testx'> </form> after submitting the form and trying to use $_POST['test'] it only gives me the last selected item, even if more than 1 are selected.. so for example, if i check, the top 3 boxes, $_POST['test'] will only = 3... is this normal within php?

Form Processing - Select Multiple
I'm trying to process a form that contains a SELECT with the MULTIPLE qualifier, but PHP only seems to be receiving the last selected entry in the list rather than all selected entries. I tried parsing as an array (because the HTML definition says it should pass key pairs) but that gives me a run-time error saying the appropriate named variable isn't an array. I've tried submitting to a script that displays php_info and the _POST vars entry lists just the single value. I know that SELECT MULTIPLE is rarely used, but has anybody tried this before and encountered similar problems. any pointers on how to retrieve all the selected options gratefully received.

Populating A Select Box From A Database
I have a subscription database that allows you to edit a subscribers data. For example, you enter a search term like "Bob" and it returns a list of everyone named Bob. You click the one you want and it goes to a subscriber detail page, where all of his data is populated to a form. You can directly edit this form and click save to overwrite it. The only issue is the select boxes (drop downs) - say I have four options in the drop down box, red, blue, green and black. On my details page for bob I end up with five, I have those four PLUS whatever was saved for his color, so it shows up twice. If Bob is green, my select box looks like: Green Red Blue Green Black How can I make it so that Green only shows up once?

Populating Select Boxes
I'm creating a data entry system using php/mysql that includes the standard add/update/delete forms in PHP with a MySQL backend. On the update pages I'm trying to fill the select boxes (that come from other tables) with the values in those other tables, yet defaulting the selection in each of those select boxes to the value currently stored in the main table which is being updated. For example, the main table is called 'dates' and a related table is called 'department'. So one of the select boxes should have all the various departments listed in the select box but the currently selected value should be whatever is in the department field in the 'dates' table for the record the user is trying to update.

Problems With Multiple Select Form, And MySQL ENUM Types.
I have a form on a PHP page, to add entries to a MySQL database. I have the simple string fields working fine, but I am having trouble with a multiple select listbox filling a MySQL ENUM type. I have assigned my values in the listbox, to match the ENUM values, and if I add a dump_var of the value of listbox posted to the PHP code, it looks sensible: array(3) { [0]=> string(1) "0" [1]=> string(1) "2" [2]=> string(1) "4" } The problem is, how do I parse this into a format I can pass into the MySQL query for the ENUM field?

Auto Populating Multiple Drop Downs.
im trying to create two dropdowns, i need the first one to be the category and the second one to be the subcategory. The category drop down autopopulates with the correct info from the database. and uses the table "category", the value of each drop down is represented by the "cat" field in the table (cat is basically and integer id number) and "Category" is used as what the user actually sees in the drop down (category is the actual word of the category). Once the category is selected i would like to have the sub category auto populate with everything that has the same values as the selected category (cat) Here is a break down of how the tables work. Table 1 Name: "category" Fields for Table 1: "cat" (the id number), "category" ( the actual name of the category) Table 2 Name: "subcategory" Fields for Table 2: "cat" (corresponds with the cat id from table 1 to pull the correct data), "subc" (the basic id of the subcategory), "subcat" the actual name of the subcategory. so the way i see it, have a normal drop down populated by a php query. then on change, populate subcategory drop down where cat = cat and display sub category.

Populating Form Text Box.
I have a PHP form for entering data on-line into a mySQL table.. Because of the intended search facility, I require one field in the form to be completed with exact and precise item names and spelling. In testing, I had achieved this with look-up tables. Ideally I would like the selected item from one of five drop-down lists to autopopulate the form text field when selected. Alternatively at least the option of copy and paste. Copy and paste - for some reason will not work. Autofill worked fine on a test form with no database connection and in standard HTML and javascript, however, once the PHP is added to the page neither method works. Could anyone please point me in the direction of how to get the autofill to work?
