i have a array from oher file php and show in select data html
this is my array
array.php
<?php
$category_attachment = array( "SPK" ,
"Justifikasi" ,
"PR" ,
"RAB" ,
"Proc" ,
"PO" ,
"Notulen" ,
"Sertifikat" ,
"BAUT" ,
"BAST" ,
"Tagihan" ,
"Other"
); ?>
and this myfile.php
<?php include "array.php" ?>
<select name="category" id="category">
<option value="">Choose Category</option>
// I want array data in here
</select>
Help Me Thank's
Try this
<select name="category" id="category">
<option value="">Choose Category</option>
<?php
foreach ($category_attachment as $value) {
?>
<option value="<?php echo $value ?>"><?php echo $value ?></option>
<?php
}
?>
</select>
just try print_r($category_attachment); in your myfile.php and see what happens. you should be able to access the variable after you included the file
Also, you should disable the first option by using the disabled attribute ;)
<?php
include "array.php"
print_r($category_attacment);
?>
<select name="category" id="category">
<option disabled>Choose Category</option>
<?php
foreach($category_attachment as $cat) {
echo "<option value='" . $cat . "'>" . $cat . "</option>";
}
?>
</select>
This example won't work:
<?php
print_r($category_attacment);
include "array.php"
?>
you have to include the file before you can access the variable.
You could do the following :
<select name="category" id="category">
<option value="">Choose Category</option>
<?php
foreach($category_attachment as $category){
echo '<option value="'.$category'">'.$category.'</option>';
}
?>
</select>
Give a look at foreach doc, which is very useful when using array :
http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php
You can do this:
<?php include "array.php" ?>
<select name="category" id="category">
<option value="">Choose Category</option>
<?php foreach ($category_attachment as $category) {?>
<option value="<?php echo $category; ?>"><?php echo $category; ?></option>
<?php } ?>
</select>
As simple as this,
<select name="category" id="category">
<?php
foreach ($category_attachment as $value) {
?>
<option value="<?= $value ?>"><?= $value ?></option>
<?php
}
?>
</select>

I am using chosen select drop down to show auto complete drop down. I want to set selected value for edit. I tried following code which works for normal select option but not working for chosen select
<select class="chosen-select" >
<option value=""></option>
<?php if(!empty($list))
{
foreach($list as $d)
{
?>
<option value="<?php echo $d->id; ?><?php if($d->id == 2) { echo "selected"; } ?>"><?php echo $d->name; ?></option>
<?php } } ?>
</select>
You are putting your selected inside your value attribute, you need to write it after :
<select class="chosen-select" >
<option value=""></option>
<?php if(!empty($list)) {
foreach($list as $d) {
?>
<option value="<?php echo $d->id; ?>"<?php if($d->id == 2) { echo " selected"; } ?>><?php echo $d->name; ?></option>
<?php } } ?>
</select>
Building on #roberto06's answer, the following should be a bit cleaner to look at.
BTW, you really should consider using a template engine.
<select class="chosen-select">
<option value=""></option>
<?php if (!empty($list)): ?>
<?php foreach ($list as $d): ?>
<option value="<?php echo $d->id; ?>" <?php echo ($d->id == 2) ? "selected" : "">
<?php echo $d->name; ?>
</option>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</select>
I have an issue for which I am not able to think of a solution.
I have an array of data which I get from the server. I have to pre populate a form which already have some values.
<select id="select1" name="Salutation" class="field-size-top-large" >
<option value="">-- please select -- </option>
<option value="Mr.">Mr.</option>
<option value="Ms.">Ms.</option>
</select>
I am getting an array
array(11) {
[0]=> string(4) "Ms."
[1]=> string(8) "Y"
}
I have to check if [0]=>'Ms.' is there in select list, if there it should be selected else default is selected. Any ideas?
use this
$options = array('Mr.', 'Ms.');
$data = array(0 => 'Ms.', 1 => 'Y');
<select id="select1" name="Salutation" class="field-size-top-large">
<option value="">-- please select --</option>
<?php foreach ($options as $option): ?>
<option value="<?php echo $option?>" <?php echo $option == $data[0] ? 'selected' : ''; ?>><?php echo $option; ?></option>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</select>
Try this:
$options = ['Mr.', 'Ms.']; // the default options
$data = [0 => 'Ms.', 1 => 'Y']; // data from server
<select id="select1" name="Salutation" class="field-size-top-large">
<option value="">-- please select --</option>
<?php foreach ($options as $option): ?>
<option value="<?php echo $option; ?>" <?php echo in_array($option, $data) ? 'selected' : ''; ?>><?php echo $option; ?></option>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</select>
My soultion:
the data array I am getting from the server i.e 0=>'Ms.' is the only value I can check for the rest are different fields
<select id="select1" name="Salutation" class="field-size-top-large" >
<option value="">-- please select --</option>
<option value="Mr." <?php echo 'Mr.'== $data[0]? 'selected':''?>> Mr. </option>
<option value="Ms."<?php echo 'Ms.'== $data[0]? 'selected':''?>>Ms.</option>
</select>
Here I am listing all cars.customers want to compare car so they will select from this drop down. A person can select multiple cars. At the first time he is selecting 'Audi' and Saab' I will store it into data base next if he came I need to populate Saab and audi as select how I can do this using php
<select name="cars" multiple>
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="opel">Opel</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
Here is my code
<select id="cars" class="multiselect" multiple="multiple" name="cars[]">
<?PHP
if($carslist->num_rows() >0)
{
foreach($carslist->result_array() as $entry):
?> <option value="<?php echo($entry['ID']); ?>" ><?php echo($entry['car_name']); ?></option>
<?php
endforeach;
}
?>
</select>
Following code I tried $resources contain select cars
<select id="cars" class="multiselect" multiple="multiple" name="cars[]">
<?PHP
if($carslist->num_rows() >0)
{
foreach($carslist->result_array() as $entry):
if($resources->num_rows() >0)
{
foreach($resources->result_array() as $car):
if($entry['ID'] == $employee['car_id'])
{
$select = 'selected="selected"';
}
else
{
$select = '';
}
endforeach;
}
?> <option value="<?php echo($entry['ID']); ?>" <?php echo $select;?> ><?php echo($entry['car_name']); ?></option>
<?php
endforeach;
}
?>
</select>
but it showing error
Here, try something like this, and see if it works:
Here is the controller:
<?php
function something(){
$data = array();
$data['cars'] = $this->some_model->some_function_to_return_cars_array();
$data['selected'] = $some_array_of_selected_cars();
$this->load->view('some_view', $data);
}
?>
And this is the view:
<select id="cars" class="multiselect" multiple="multiple" name="cars[]">
<option value="">Select:</option>
<?php
foreach( $cars as $key => $val ){
?>
<option value="<?php echo $val['some_id'] ?>"
<?php
if( in_array( $val['some_id'], $selected ) ) echo ' selected';
?>
><?php echo $val['some_name'] ?></option>
<?php
}
?>
</select>
I have a dropdown like the following.
<select>
<option value="Mr">Mr</option>
<option value="Dr">Dr</option>
<option value="Prof">Prof</option>
</select>
I am getting a value from data base in $selected_value variable. Based on this value I want to make one option from the above select to be selected.
Eg: If $selected_value = Mr, <option value="Mr" selected>Mr</option>
if $selected_value = Dr, <option value="Dr" selected>Dr</option>
update:
now when i am inspecting element i am getting like below.but not selecting Dr.but it is orking in w3schools try editor.
<select>
<option value="Mr">Mr</option>
<option value="Dr" selected="selected">Dr</option>
<option value="Prof">Prof</option>
</select>
update 2
see screen shot:
update3
now it works! added name for <select>
This will work for you problem
try this code
<select>
<option value="Mr" <?=($selected_value=="Mr") ? "selected" : ""?>>Mr</option>
<option value="Dr" <?=($selected_value=="Dr") ? "selected" : ""?>>Dr</option>
</select>
try this..
<option value="Mr" <?php if($selected_value == 'Mr') echo 'selected' ?>>Mr</option>
<option value="Dr" <?php if($selected_value == 'Dr') echo 'selected' ?>>Dr</option>
<option value="Prof" <?php if($selected_value == 'Prof') echo 'selected' ?>>Prof</option>
Or you can use by using jquery
<script>
$('select option[value="<?php echo $selected_value ?>"]').attr('selected','true')
</script>
As per your current HTML use the code below:
<select name="your_select_name">
<option <?php echo (($selected_value=="Mr")?"selected":"") ?> value="Mr">Mr</option>
<option <?php echo (($selected_value=="Dr")?"selected":"") ?> value="Mr">Dr</option>
<option <?php echo (($selected_value=="Prof")?"selected":"") ?> value="Mr">Prof</option>
</select>
If the value of this variable($selected_value) returns "Dr" then 2nd option will be selected. And also give a name of your select tag.
I changed my solution so it fits yours I hope.
UPDATE:
<select name="dropdownlist">
<?
$options = array("Mr", "Dr", "Prof");
foreach($options as $option){
if($_POST['dropdownlist'] == $option){
echo '<option selected="selected">' .$option. '</option>';
}else{
echo '<option>' .$option. '</option>';
}
}
?>
</select>
If you also have an array of your options you could create the option tags by looping through each one of them. In that loop you then can check if the $selected_value matches $option_value like so:
<select>
<?php foreach($options as $option_value => $option_displayName) : ?>
<option
value="<?php echo $option_value; ?>"
<?php echo $option_value == $selected_value ? 'selected' : ''; ?>>
<?php echo $option_displayName; ?>
</option>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</select>
To do what you want you'd have to build the select dynamically like the following example:
<?php
$selects = array(
array('name' => 'Mr', 'value' => 'Mr'),
array('name' => 'Dr', 'value' => 'Dr'),
array('name' => 'Prof', 'value' => 'Prof'),
);
$selected_option = 'Dr';
echo '<select>';
foreach($selects as $select) {
if($select['value'] == $selected_option) {
echo '<option value="'.$select['value'].'" selected>' .$select['name']. '</option>';
} else {
echo '<option value="'.$select['value'].'">' .$select['name']. '</option>';
}
}
echo '</select>';
?>
Which outputs:
<select>
<option value="Mr">Mr</option>
<option value="Dr" selected>Dr</option>
<option value="Prof">Prof</option>
</select>
Example
Try as follows .
<select name="select_options">
<option value="Mr">Mr</option>
<option value="Dr">Dr</option>
<option value="Prof">Prof</option>
</select>
After hit submit button. Then you will get value in $_POST['select_options']
There are many ways to achieve what you're doing. I can think of two straight ways to do this.
The first is ugly:
Insert in each option a php tag and check if value is selected:
<select>
<option <?php if ($selected_value == 'Mr') echo 'selected'; ?> value="Mr">Mr</option>
<option <?php if ($selected_value == 'Dr') echo 'selected'; ?> value="Dr">Dr</option>
<option <?php if ($selected_value == 'Prof') echo 'selected'; ?> value="Prof">Prof</option>
</select>
Otherwise, I would personally write a little helper
function generateSelect(array $entries, $selected)
{
$ret = '<select>'
foreach ($entries as $entry) {
$ret .= '<option';
if ($entry == $selected) {
$ret .= ' selected';
}
$ret .= ' value="'.$entry.'"';
$ret .= '>'.$entry.'</option'>;
}
return $ret;
}
It is just an example and its functionality could be expanded. It SHOULD work, but I haven't tried it myself (wrote it quickly)
You have mistaken syntax
<select>
<option value="Mr">Mr</option>
<option value="Dr" selected="selected">Dr</option>
<option value="Prof">Prof</option>
</select>
this will work
<select>
<option value="Mr">Mr</option>
<option value="Dr" selected>Dr</option>
<option value="Prof">Prof</option>
</select>
I have select option in my page or drop down list,my problem is how can i set value
in my select option and this value is from the database,
here is my code.
<select name="status" value="<?php echo $status; ?>" >
<option value=""></option>
<option value="public">public</option>
<option value="private">private</option>
</select>
on top of my html tag
if(isset($_GET['status']))
{
$status = $_GET['status'];
$sstatus="select .......";
foreach($db->query($sstatus) as $rows)
{
$status= $rows['status'];
......
......
......
}
}
I tried modify my code and it's seems working but my problem is that it has 2 same
value in the drop down list.
<select name="status" >
<option selected="selected"><?php echo $status; ?></option>
<option value="public">public</option>
<option value="private">private</option>
</select>
it will show like this in my drop down list,my question for this is this is the right way
in displaying the values that comes from the database.
public
public
private
<select name="status" >
<option value=""></option>
<option value="public"<?php if (isset($status) && $status === 'public') echo 'selected'; ?>>public</option>
<option value="private"<?php if (isset($status) && $status === 'private') echo 'selected'; ?>>private</option>
</select>
<?php $options = array('', 'public', 'private') ?>
<select name="status">
<?php foreach ($options as $option): ?>
<option value="<?php echo $option ?>" <?php echo isset($status) && $status == $option ? 'selected="selected"' : '' ?>><?php echo $option ?></option>
<?php endforeach ?>
</select>
