Populating Drop Down And Table
I have a database with the following fields. Name | Company | Date values in each column could be repeated, or not. as in there could be several same names with the same company with different dates, or different names with same company. How do I populate a table with this info and have drop down boxes, so that I can narrow down the search? For example: Name | Company | Date 12 | 1 | 1929 13 | 1 | 1929 14 | 1 | 1929 12 | 2 | 1929 12 | 4 | 1929 13 | 1 | 1941 12 | 6 | 1929 So if in the drop down I select '12' under name, only those entries with 12 are shown, and then I can further sort it by selecting only '1' under Company. Hope I'm clear, I manage to complicate things when I post them.
Auto Populating A Drop Down Box
Basically I'm setting up a website which needs an populated drop down box made up from all fields in a specific column of a table in a mysql db.... Here's the code I've made up using various tutorials.... <?php $user = ""; $host = "" $password = "" $dbName = "" /* make connection to database */ mysql_connect($host, $user, $password) OR DIE( "Unable to connect to database"); mysql_select_db($dbName); //did you forget this line? $sql = "SELECT model FROM usedVehicles"; $query = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error() . "<br>$sql"); //use the or die(...) part ONLY IN DEVELOPMENT ?> <form action="action" method="post"> <select name="option"> <?php while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "<option value="" . $row['model'] . "">" . $row['model'] . "</option> "; } ?> </select> <input type="submit"> </form> I've left out the connection details for obvious reasons... When I upload and try to test this, jus a blank drop down appears... there are definately fields in the column as I have tried the query on phpMyAdmin.
Populating A Drop Box With Results From Database
I have a MySQL database with a table (category) with two fields, catId (int) and category (char(50)). What I want to do is to get all category names in this database and place all of them into a dropdown box on a web page so that the user can choose from the list of available categories.
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 The Drop Down And Pressing The Submit Button
1. The first is I have two drop down menus. The first is "year" and the second is "mfr". When a user selects a year from the drop down it then populates the second drop down, mfr, from the MySQL database. Theat is working fine. But the problem I am having is the "submit" button (which I have labeled as "browse"). When I click it. Nothing happens, no action tacks place. I have looked over the code and I can't figure it out. (See Code Box 1 Below). 2. Right now the "mfr" drop down is populated by the MySQL database and reads with a list like "Acr", "Alp", etc. These are abreviations. I need to set up an array to have them instead read the entire mfr name. Example: Instead of "Acr" it needs to be "Acura". Instead of "Alp" it needs to be "Alpine". I need these full names to appear in the drop down. I know I need to do something like this (See Code Box 2 Below) but I can't get my finger on it. Code:

Drop Down Menu
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. For example, I am using this to filter months, so once a month has been selected and submitted, the first option in my drop down list is displayed and not the one that was selected and submitted. 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 Drop Down Menu Variable

Echo Drop Down Menu
What I do is when the form is posted (php_self) it does its check and if there are errors, ie. user has not filled in required data, it takes them back to the form but the text fields are already filled in with what they have already typed. But the drop down menus default back to the PLEASE CHOOSE option, how can I get my drop down menu to be what they have just selected. The reason I need this is there are 6 drop down menus for different things on the page and a user would get fed up having to reselect each one when they have not filled in a field. Code:

Drop Menu Using Session Data
I've a drop menu for users to choose the month they are born from. There's an associative array, $nameOfMonths, for the months' names. E.g. [1] => 'January', $birthMonth would be an Int.

Drop Down Menu Validation Against Database
I want to do a query which selects the config.maps table.field WHERE ladder_id = $ladder_id. I can do this fine, but the next bit is slightly harder. The maps are stored as an array, separated by commas. I can explode these commas to put the maps in to an array called $maps but how can I then check that a value inputted from the drop down menu matches one of these maps? I cannot do: if ($dropdown = $maps[1] || $dropdown = $maps[2] || $dropdown = $maps[3]) { // Continue }
Horizontal Drop Down Menu From Database?
I've been searching now for months and have just given up. I've also tried to create my own menu using pre-made drop down menu software then using dreamweaver to try and get the values from a database but have had no success. I've made a CMS which allows users to greate sub menu items, and then sub-sub menu items to those submenu items. And now the final thing to do is create the drop down menu on the front end of the site. Is there a particular site or software package that anyone could point me to that is very good and allows you to create the menu's based on data in a database? So it will allow me to select which table contains the main buttons, which table contains the sub menu items, and also the sub-sub menu items.

Generic Data-based Drop Down Menu
This is becoming incredibly frustrating... I have a pile of drop downs on one page. They are generated based upon tables in a database. After searching, the user needs to be able to refine their search. They click a form button and go back to the original search page with all the fields retaining the values of the original search. Everything works GREAT except my drop downs! They refuse to remember anything!
Returning An Array To Populate A Drop Down Menu
Scenario: two related tables (Many) 'patient' and (one) 'doctor'. In the patient table, each row has an entry for doctor_id. I have created a drop down menu on my patient form to input the doctor_id. The dropdown only shows the doctors' names. This menu is generated by a SELECT statement on the doctor table. The result of SELECT goes into an array, and then each element of the array is inserted into the dropdown with a 'while' loop. This works fine. However, I wish this dropdown to set itself to the correct doctor's name, when I retrieve a previously inputted patient record. That is, if patient 'Smith' is allocated to doctor 'Neo', the record is then saved, and later I retrieve the record: I wish to see doctor's name (Neo) as the default in the dropdown menu.
Using Variables To Control What Is Selected In An Drop-down Menu?
I have a drop-down menu with the states. I don't necessarily want to have the menu dynamic with a database, but I want to be able to control what is selected using a variable. Code: <select name=state id=state> <option value="" selected>--</option> <option value="AL">Alabama</option> <option value="AK">Alaska</option> etc... </select>
