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 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 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.

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].

Smarter Way Of Doing Dropdown List?
I've got a dropdown list that is acting as a filter on a table, so the user can select a value and the page is reloaded only showing the matching values from the database. Now when the page reloads the dropdown was set to 'all' as it was first in the list, even if I'd selected a different value, this was confusing for users, so I added an initial <option> field which pulled the correct value from $_GET (code below) - however this is a little odd as it means the value appears twice! Does anyone have a genius solution to this? I've seen a <select selected="yes"> sort of thing around, but I don't know how I can tell the php to add this value dynamically? <select size='1' name='occupation'> <option>".$_GET['occupation']."</option> <option value='All'>All</option> <option value='Student'>Students</a></option> <option value='Professional'>Professional</option> <option value='Hobbyist'>Hobbyists</option> </select>

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.

The firewall blocks the page and I was hoping that there was some surreptitious way to get around this problem. My thoughts for a solution to this would be to create a variable with the website's name in pieces. Then send it to a function that opens it in a frame or something.

Get List Of Messages From One Table, Message List Indicator From
I have two tables. One has a list of messages left by users using fields named mbxno for the mailbox and msgno for the message number. I have another table that has mailbox settings for each user that contains a field named "messagelist" to indicate if they want to be included on the message list or not. What I'm trying to create is a list of the most-recent messages with a lookup on the users table to indicate whether a message in the list should be included in the message list based on the user's mailbox settings. SELECT messages.msgno, messages.mbxno, users.messagelist FROM messages, users WHERE (users.messagelist = Ƈ') ORDER BY msgno DESC LIMIT 100 What I'm getting, though is a list that looks like this: mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1 mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1 mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1 mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1 mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1 mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1 mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1 mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1 I think what's happening is that I'm using the wrong type of join and more rows are being created than necessary. If I add "DISTINCT" to the query, I get a list of the most-recent messages as I expect, but the "messsagelist" value is sometimes wrong (again, probably because the data is getting jumbled). For example, the messagelist value for the second row (2214) should be 0, not 1. mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1 mbxno: 2214 msgno: 0412141622 msglist: 1 mbxno: 2189 msgno: 0412141408 msglist: 1 mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1 mbxno: 0003 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1 mbxno: 2265 msgno: 0412132029 msglist: 1 mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412131950 msglist: 1 How should I be doing this? If nothing else, what kind of join will work with a long list compared to a value from a short list?

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?
