Php Dropdown - Selected?
i'm using this to pull information from a database and display it in a dropdown list. The problem is I am using the name code when I goto the "Update" page, but i'm not sure how to add the "selected" field, that way what ever I saved in the database will load. Example: I goto add and it add's the "id" of 7 to the field, when I load the page again it auto's back to 1 instead of clicking in-to 7 as thats whats already there... = ) Code:
Remember Selected Value DropDown
I am attempting to have a drop down menu that displays url from 1 table called links the same table also contains a name for the url. i.e. google.com = name and http://www.google.com = url The value of just the url from links is stored in a separate table called users in a field named search after form is submitted by user. Everything Posts correctly except when go back to edit the record and submit the form the drop down box does not retain the value of what had been previously selected although it is the correct record until form is updated when whatever value is currently in the drop down list will update the record. I know the code is doing exactly what it is told to do, because I have no functionality in it to recall the value from the field search in the users table. I don't know if it is something I would have to add to the array or option value. I can get it to work if it is all hard coded, but I am attempting not to do this. I am pretty new to php mysql and any help is greatly appreciated. This is the code I am working with that came mostly from a tutorial. PHP Code:
Dropdown Menu <selected Name="...
I have a dropdown menu like this one: <select name="country" tabindex="6" id="select_country"> <option value="">- Country List -</option> <?php $query = "SELECT * FROM country ORDER BY country ASC"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed'); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result)) { $country = $row['country']; ?> <option value="<?php echo $country ?>"><?php echo $country ?></option> After I have selected one country and I hit the submit button it go back to the default value in the box, what I want is to show the selected value in box until I selected another value. If the default value is Australia when I start this page, I then select USA and hit the submit button it reset to the default value "Australia", but I want it to show USA as long I not select anything else. I have tried to use session in selected="<?php echo $_SESSION['country']; ?>" but it didnt work.
Print All Selected Items From Dropdown??
I have a program that allows users to select a 'New Graduate' membership, and for each one selected, they get a free tshirt. I've got that working using a 'is_new_grad' function that I created. So, if they select 2, they see 2 dropdowns to select the sizes of them. It then sends an email w/ the membership info and the shirt sizes selected. However, when the email is being sent, it's only returning the size of the LAST item selected in from the drop-downs. Example: if I sign up for four of these memberships and select four different tshirt sizes (1 Medium, 1 Lg, 1 XL, and 1 XXL), the info in the email is all XXL: Code:

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.
Add Data To A Database Using Dropdown Menus?

Dynamic Dropdown And Hardcode Dropdown In Select Form
I have plenty of examples of dynamic dropdown choices but none of hardcoded dropdown choices. The ultimate goal is to have a job with various tasks and to track the status of those tasks for a given job. I've used one of the tutorials here to begin the process. Below is the code I have to add work on a given task. Perhaps I actually need to "Update" a job as opposed to "add". But the problem of the moment is I can't seem to hardcode one set of my options. This is the code I have: PHP Code:
Dependent Includes?
i've got a page someone else built with an include for another file. the include needed a random banner, both jpeg and swf. so i figured that one out - i've set up an include in that file which calls the proper code randomly from a text file, one line with the embed for the swf and one line with the image (both in their own link tag - a href...) so here's the issue - back on the top level, there's another banner which needs to be dependent on the include inside the include. they're in 2 completely different places, so tying them into the same file is not an option.
Dependent Drop Downs?
I have a drop down menu populated from a database. There are 3 other drop downs on the page that I want to populate from the database AFTER the user has made a selection in the first list. Can that be done? Are there any scripts for that anywhere?
Dependent Select Menus
I would like to create a form in which a 2nd select box appears depending on the value selected in the 1st select box. The values of the 2nd select box will come from a database. My question is how to create this in php? One way is to re-load the page depending on what's chosen in the first box, or alternatively to use frames or an iframe? Is there another, better way that can dynamically change the initial page?
Dynamic Dependent Drop Down Boxes
I need to build a dynamic page with 2 drop down boxes on it where the contents of the second drop down box are dependent upon the selection made in the first drop down box (the first box contains districts/regions and the second box contains towns/cities). The customer wants this to happen on a single screen but can this be done with PHP?
Substr With Dependent Length Parameter
Is it possible to use substr() to get only the letters displayed after numbers (at the end of a string)? For example: WA-0318a would give me a SAN-2011Aa would give me Aa KE-2200Eb would give me Eb So, if $variable = "SAN-2011Aa" then substr($variable, -?). The negative length parameter would be dependent on how many of the ending characters are letters and not numbers. In this case, I would need to dynamically generate 2 (for -2). In the case of "WA-0318a" I would need to dynamically generate 1 (for -1). Is this possible?

I want the list to highlight the multiple chosen values. here is part of the code. $dresscat = specdresscat($dresstypeid); //this is the query to get the values in the detail table $drcatrow = pg_fetch_array($dresscat);// the array for the detail table. <select name="stages[]" multiple="multiple"> <?php $allstages = allstages(); // this is a function to query my database to get the value for the list. while ($allstagerows=pg_fetch_array($allstages)) { $eachstage= $allstagerows["stageid"]; $specstage= $drcatrow["stageid"]; // this is the point I need help if ($specstage == $eachstage){ ?> <option value=<?php echo $eachstage;?> selected="selected"><?php echo allstagerows["stage"]?></option> <?php }else{ ?> <option value=<?php echo $eachstage;?>><?php echo $allstagerows["stage"]?></option> <?php } } ?> </select>

Resize Only Selected Images
I have an image upload script that is resizing every image that a user uploads. What I would like to do is have a check box added to the upload form that a user can check to resize the image if they want to or leave it unchecked to just upload the image. So if the box is checked the original image gets uploaded and a resized image is created as well If the box is not checked just the original image uploaded. I tried adding a check box but every image still was resized - checked or not - Im assiming because it was in the foreach loop so I dont know what to do. Code:
PHP And A Pre-selected Option In A Form
I've got a little text editor thing on my site, and to open a file, you input the file name and choose the folder from a drop-down list and click the Open button. The default filename is "index" and that file keeps track of all the files contained in that folder. It works okay. What's annoying is that regardless of what folder you're messing around in, the drop down list always goes back to showing the default folder name as the page is reloaded. I want it to be preselected to the folder it's in. It seems simple enough--the folder you're in is $_GET['dir']. But I've read some HTML form how-tos, and I can only see that you can preselect using the tabindex="" or selected attribute.
Radio Button Selected
What I wish to do is have a radio button pre-selected depending on what is pulled from the database. For example if I had 2 radio buttons: o Yes o No One has the value 1 and the other has the value 0 If 1 is selected from the database then Yes is pre-selected, else 0 is pre-selected. How would I do this?
Setting Selected Option Using PHP

I have a dynamic drop down that needs to be populated from different columns in a database. The problem I'm running into is that sometimes fields do not have a value.

Set The Selected Text For Option Box Of A Menu..
Having major issues with this simple task, and I cant work out why its not doing as it should/expected. Basically, ive got a drop down box with the added bit of php: <select name="title" id="title"> <?php if($_SESSION['title'] != "") { echo '<option value="'. $_SESSION['title'] .'" selected="selected"></option>' } else { echo "<option value="" selected></option>"; } ?> <option>Mr</option> <option>Mrs</option> <option>Miss</option> <option>Ms</option> <option>Dr</option> </select> Basically, if the user submits a form, the title is stored in the session, this works fine, and then when returned to the page, the value should be filled in. Yet, when they return to the page, there value they selected is not shown in this box, instead, theres just a gap. The source seems correct, and this is whats shown: <select name="title" id="title"> <option value="Mr" selected="selected"></option>

How To Get Form To Remember Selected Option?
I am now trying to make a form remember which color (a select list) they selected before pressing any of the submit buttons. I entered this code into the form: <select name="color"> <option value="red">red</option> <option value="blue">blue</option> </select> The submit is a GET type. For example, if the user selects blue and then clicks on either one of the "submit" buttons, I want the form to remember/show the blue option. Right now the select list always goes back to red, the first choice. I tried doing a <?php echo $red; ?> and <?php echo $blue; ?> for the option value, but this does not work since the select list needs a value.
Select Option Stays Selected
I have a normal drop down menu: <select name="status" class="db_list_text"> <option value="All" selected="selected">All</option> <option value="True">Active</option> <option value="False">Inactive</option> </select> The idea for this is for the user to select either true or false and then to click submit to find data that matches either one. The coding is in the same page so the form basically just reloads the page and grabbes whatever info is requested. How can I with PHP, make it that the dropdown stays on the selected option when the page is reloaded?

Renaming A User Selected File
I have an upload script that allows users to upload images to the server/database. My problem is that if a user uploads a file with the name of a file that already exists on the server, it overwrites the existing file. If I have a script that randomly generates 3 letters/numbers, how would I insert those in between the file name and the file extension? I'm thinking the solution would have something to do with implode, but I'm not sure how I would use it. I'm using the $_FILES['upfile']['name'] variable.
