Populating A Dropdown From A Database
I have put together a script that populates a dropdown menu from a database. My database contains a table called casinocredit, and it contains records that have been enterend over 2 different months (may and june). There is a field in the database that contains the date in this format: 2006-05-12 00:00:00
So The drop down is currently showing a month for each of those records. I was hoping that it would only display one. (the plan is when a user selects a month (say May) and hits submit, then I would display all of Mays records on a different page) See the image i have attached for a view of what is happening. Code:

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 Form From Database, Then Passing Results To Next Page
I have a multiple select input in a form that's being populated by a row from my database as such: <input type="checkbox" name="subm[]" value="$row[ID]"> That part is working fine as I can check the displayed page using View Source and see that the value is the correct row number from the database. It is then being submitted on a form by $_POST method to another page where I want to evaluate the checkboxes and display the contents of the entire row that corresponds to each value="$row[ID]" that have been checked. But I can't seem to get it to work. I'm having a problem passing the selected value. Can someone point me in the right direction? $query = ("SELECT * FROM `table`"); $result = mysql_query($query); print "<p>Data for Selections:"; print "<table border=2><tr><th>You chose:"; foreach ($_POST['subm'] as $value) { print "<tr><td>"; print "$row[ID]; "; print mysql_field_name($result, 1) . ": " . $row[name]."<br>"; print mysql_field_name($result, 2) . ": " . $row[address]."<br>"; print mysql_field_name($result, 3) .

Autopopulate Dropdown List From Database
An events-registration page with a form containing a dropdown list for upcoming events, the events will be pulled from a table which is updated by...? what i've gathered so far is that this can be done with PHP. I am a little unclear on the concept of how this is done. How does the updated information get input into the table? 1) can this be done (updating database) through a web interface by the client, or is it something i would have to do locally and then upload. If done by the client, can he delete/edit existing information--assuming he is not familiar with code. 2) what other things aside from html(good), sql(so-so), and php(newb) will i have to know? i've seen a lot of good tutorials here and will have access to the necessary software. I just want to know if there is anything else i should know before i dive in head first without testing the PHP water, which i assume is frigid.

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?

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.

Populating Fresh Data
Im building a live web chat using php, mysql, javascript, ajax I am fine with sending and retreiving data in real time using ajax as the transfer protocol However, my problem, which is becoming a nightmare, is how to I display it !! Lets say the below is the chat screen, <div id="messages"> Jamie - Hello Peter = Hi Jamie = Nice Day Peter = I know </div> Lets say Jamie's next message is "What are you doing today". I can send that off to the database no problem and I can get peters live chat to pull that message in, however, how do I get it to display underneath Peter = I know As a practice I was using document.getelementbyid('messages').innerHTML = document.getelementbyid('messages').innerHTML + "<BR>What are you doing today" That works, but, lets just say the chat gets to 1000 lines, for each new message those 1000 lines have to be pulled out via javascript, a new line written to it and then printed back in the div Im not sure but I'd take a good guess at this not being optimal and will cause CPU load on the users machine What is the best way to do this! Chat messages are deleted after 1 minute, but that doesnt matter because by then they have already been sent the the users chat. Just incase you are thinking of completely repopulating there chat with every message they have sent since the chat started..

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.
