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:

Populating A Select Box
What I want to do for members of my website is to allow them to click a button that will add their name to a list that populates a select box. I can do this on my own, but I was curious if I have to use a database in order for this to be possible.

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.

Drop Down Menu Select And Populating Data Fields
I have a PHP/MySQL Content Management System set up for the job I work at. It's basically a shift program that lets users pick up shifts, post shifts, etc. The data fields are tied to the shift ID which is selected from a dynamically populated drop down box. However, I cannot get the data fields to be updated when I select a new value and I cannot get the form to accept the new selected Shift ID. I have tried using JavaScript but cannot quite get it to work. Code:

Save Select Field Input
I am trying to use PHP to save entry on a user input in a form, so that if the user fails the form validation he/she does not have to fill in the information they alread typed in the form the first time. I realize that I can use $_POST['key'] for input fields but I am have trouble with saving select drop down menu input. I figured I would just create a blank option tag and place $_POST['key'] in between the brackets. It works but I know there is a better more robust way to solve this issue. code below...

Retrieving Data From A Database Into A <select> Field
I'm writing a handfull of forms to enter data into a MySQL database, and then retrieve the data for editing. The form works fine when retrieving data into text boxes with <input type=text value="<? echo $varname?>"> and with checkboxes by using <input type="checkbox" <? if (isset($varname)) {echo "checked";}?> My problem is that I can't use the above techniques to retrieve data from <select> lists. When I bring the edit form up, it returns the list's default value, and the default value is saved on the database unless the user changes the <select> field everytime the form is open. I guess my question is simpler than I make it sound: how do I update a <select> field to display the value stored in the database?

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.
