Populating A Drop Down List With Php
I am trying to get a drop down list to populate vbia php. What I have a is a script that allows a airline/user to enter airfare and price for tickets. It dumps them into a database and then allows the user to view/delete/add.
I want the user to be able to edit the airfare. I have a drop down list that is set as a variable $ticket_from, $ticket_to. The list contains around 400 cities. When the user clicks 'edit' I have the price population but no the drop down list. How do you go about something like that? I have this right now: Code:

Populating Drop Down List With Selected Vaue
I have a drop down box and the "selected" value needs to be selected by a dynamic value that gets entered into the database, this is currently how im doing it: PHP Code: <?php                 if($modify_row[21] == "0") {                   print "<option value=" "></option>";                   print "<option value="1">Active</option>";                   print "<option value="0" selected>In-Active</option>";                 } elseif ($modify_row[21] == "1") {                   print "<option value=" "></option>";                   print "<option value="1" selected>Active</option>"; Its fairly straight forward, basically the option that is automatically selected needs to be the one coming from the database $modify_row[21].

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.

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:

Populating A List Dynamicly
Is there an easy way to populate a list dynamicly? It stinks javascript here, but I don't know how to do it with that either. I have one list A that contains enteries with ID's as values. List B should then fill with information from a database according to wich ID is choosen in list A. Since alot of otherthings is entered on the page to I would like to nopt have to deal with sending all the data and loading the same page again. Is there a way in PHP to link to the same page and have all the filled textfields stay as they were? Or do I have to use post? I have the thought of loading all the data from the database and having it in an array or something and having a javascript picking and writing the choosen ones to the list. But that would be alot of excess data so getting it "live" from the db would be better.

A Dynamic Drop Down List
I need to create a dynamic drop down list. By this i mean that the webpage html form = select style will recieve all the values as based on a query to a mysql database. I have no problems quering the data base with PHP, But i need to make some kind of for loop that will add a new value to the selct form for each result from the database. my thought process go like this. 1. call data base to guery. (no problem) 2. make variable variables that will be created according to the number of results (these variables must be created according to results of query, not a problem i think) 3. make a form like this <form action = ***** method = post> <select name = ******> <option value = "This is a query result"> This is a query result> //This is the part i need to using a for loop and variable variables </select></form> so my problem is part 3, cause is this all done in PHP, or if i had all these variables, can i do this in HTML? Can i make a for loop in PHP that would break into HTML during these parts?

I tried using a script using javascript array but wherever I have a query that pulls the NAME from the database there's always a carriage return after the NAME which messes up the javascript array. I'd rather do it all with PHP if possible. If not please give me one that works and I don't have to spend hours troubleshooting.

Putting List Into Drop Down

So only pizza places listed under dining. However, I want to change the list to a (form) select box and then have the user click on the sub-category they want and then it takes them to the client_filter.php page to list only those bussinesses in that sub-categorie.
