I am trying to make it so when you select an option, it goes to a specific subdomain. e.g. if coffee is selected, it should redirect to coffee.domain.com. This is what I have, it seems to work but doesn't go to a chosen subdomain
<form>
<select name='http://domain.com' onchange='this.form.submit()'>
<option selected>Select Option</option>
<option value="coffee">Coffee</option>
<option value="tea">Tea</option>
</select>
<noscript><input type="submit" value="Submit"></noscript>
</form>
The code you posted is just HTML. There is no code there to actually do what you want.
If you wanted to do this in PHP you could try something like
<?php
if(ISSET($_POST['domainSelect']) == 'coffee'){
header('Location: http://www.domain-coffee.com');
}
if(ISSET($_POST['domainSelect']) == 'tea'){
header('Location: http://www.domain-tea.com');
}
?>
<form method="POST">
<select name='domainSelect' onchange='this.form.submit()'>
<option selected>Select Option</option>
<option value="coffee">Coffee</option>
<option value="tea">Tea</option>
</select>
<noscript><input type="submit" value="Submit"></noscript>
</form>
Or you could do it with JavaScript by doing something like
<script type='text/javascript'>
function gotodomain(){
var e = document.getElementById('domainSelectId');
var strSelected = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value;
if(strSelected == 'coffee'){
document.location.href = 'http://domain-coffee.com'
}
if(strSelected == 'tea'){
document.location.href = 'http://domain-tea.com'
}
}
</script>
<form method="POST">
<select id="domainSelectId" name='domainSelect' onchange='gotodomain()'>
<option selected>Select Option</option>
<option value="coffee">Coffee</option>
<option value="tea">Tea</option>
</select>
<noscript><input type="submit" value="Submit"></noscript>
</form>
In either case I suggest you start thinking about what it is exactly you want and in what language its best to achieve in.

So, to explain my question. I have four .php codes on web server, and I have drop down list in php code also (it includes name of all four php files that are on server). I have also submit button.
I should do following: User choose one name from drop down list, click submit button, and than that php file should be called and shown on web page.
The problem is, I don't know hot to connect these three part of php code.

What Genre you want?
<select name="Ganre">
<option value="">Select...</option>
<option value="FPS">FPS</option>
<option value="JRPG">JRPG</option>
<option value="RPG">RPG</option>
<option value="Sports">Sports</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
<if (Genre == "FPS") { ?>
<form method="get" action="FPS.php"}>
<else if (Genre == "JRPG") { ?>
<form method="get" action="JRPG.php"}>
<else if (Genre == "RPG") { ?>
<form method="get" action="RPG.php"}>
<else if (Genre == "Sports") { ?>
<form method="get" action="Sports.php"}>
</p>
There are several issues with the code you provided:
You have no opening <?php for those closing ?>.
You have lots of invalid syntax, like If (Genre == "FPS") { (What is Genre?) or like
<else if
You have two spellings of "Genre" (Ganre).
There are several ways to do what you want. As you did not mention Javascript, I propose a PHP-only solution. You would just let the form submit to the
same PHP file, and there detect which choice was made. Then let PHP redirect to the
page of choice:
<?php
if (isset($_GET["genre"])) {
// User submitted their choice, so redirect to that page
// Make sure not to echo anything when using header():
header("Location: " . $_GET["genre"] . ".php");
// Make sure to not execute any other code in this file
exit();
}
// User did not yet submit a choice, so present list
?>
<form method="get">
<p>
What Genre you want?
<select name="genre">
<option value="">Select...</option>
<option value="FPS">FPS</option>
<option value="JRPG">JRPG</option>
<option value="RPG">RPG</option>
<option value="Sports">Sports</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</p>
</form>
Add onchange into select tag and add below javasctipt code.
<form method="get" action="">
<select name="Ganre" onchange="actionChangdde(this)">
<option value="">Select...</option>
<option value="FPS">FPS</option>
<option value="JRPG">JRPG</option>
<option value="RPG">RPG</option>
<option value="Sports">Sports</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<script>
function actionChangdde(sel){
var getSelVal = sel.value;
var repAction = getSelVal+'.php';
sel.parentElement.setAttribute("action", repAction);
}
</script>
Try this code :
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<form>
<p>
What Genre you want?
<select name="Ganre" id="genre">
<option value="">Select...</option>
<option value="FPS">FPS</option>
<option value="JRPG">JRPG</option>
<option value="RPG">RPG</option>
<option value="Sports">Sports</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" id="submit_button"/>
</p>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var dropDownValue = $('#genre').val();
$('#submit_button').click(function () {
if($('#genre').val() == "FPS"){
window.location="FPS.php";
}
if($('#genre').val() == "JRPG"){
window.location="JRPG.php";
}
if($('#genre').val() == "RPG"){
window.location="RPG.php";
}
if($('#genre').val() == "Sports"){
window.location="Sports.php";
}
if($('#genre').val() == ""){
return false;
}
});
});
</script>
I'm trying to do something very simple in PHP, but keep getting an error message. Essentially, when someone selects "Cat", I want "Miaow" to appear.
My idea was:
<select name="demo">
<option value="Dog">Dog</option>
<option value="Cat">Cat</option>
<option value="Fish">Fish</option>
</select>
<?php if ($_POST['demo'] == 'Cat') { echo 'Miaow'; } ?>
However, in PHPFiddle,
I get 'E_NOTICE : type 8 -- Undefined index...'
as soon as the code runs. Am I missing something basic? Thanks!
Your form might be passing data by $_GET instead of $_POST.
Did you specify the method ?
<form method="post" action="index.php">
<select name="demo">
<option value="Dog">Dog</option>
<option value="Cat">Cat</option>
<option value="Fish">Fish</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
You can var_dump($_POST); and var_dump($_GET); to see what those variables contains in your PHP file.
Or you can do it in javascript like this :
function animal(value) {
if(value == "Cat") {
document.getElementById("myAnimal").innerHTML = "Miaouw";
} else {
document.getElementById("myAnimal").innerHTML = "Rooooah";
}
}
<form action="#">
<select name="demo" onchange="animal(this.value)">
<option value="Dog">Dog</option>
<option value="Cat">Cat</option>
<option value="Fish">Fish</option>
</select>
</form>
<span id="myAnimal"></span>
Is it even possible to do this using PHP so that "Miaow" comes up automatically on select, rather than having to submit the form?
You are looking for JavaScript code, not PHP. Here is a jQuery example:
$(document).on('change', '.animals', function(){
$('.noise-target').html( $('option:selected', this).data('noise') );
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select class="animals">
<option>Select</option>
<option data-noise="Woof">Dog</option>
<option data-noise="Meow">Cat</option>
</select>
<div class="noise-target"></div>
Maybe this will help, I write some block as far as I understand...
<form action="#" method="post">
<select name="demo">
<option value="Dog">Dog</option>
<option value="Cat">Cat</option>
<option value="Fish">Fish</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="sub" />
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['sub'])){
if($_POST['demo'] == "cat"){
echo "Miao";
}
}
?>
I want to create a very simple (no plugins and basic layout) for a dropdown menu that has checkboxes for options. For example, if C and F are selected and the form is submitted, I want the url to show /index.php?category1=3&&category2=6
<form action="" method="get">
<select multiple="multiple" name="category">
<optgroup label="Category1">
<option value="1">A</option>
<option value="2">B</option>
<option value="3">C</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="Category2">
<option value="4">D</option>
<option value="5">E</option>
<option value="6">F</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
<br><input type="submit" value="go">
</form>
I am not even sure how to start the jquery to pass the values to the url. Any help is much appreciated!
EDIT:
I figured I can do this using instead and simulate a dropdown with jquery.
Here is the jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/k6R7g/
how can I show "2 Selected" instead of "Select..." when selections are made?
See code below, construct the url yourself and it will work. In case the form contains more values you can better add the category to the value of the option.
<form method="get">
<select multiple="multiple" name="category">
<optgroup label="Category1">
<option value="1">A</option>
<option value="2">B</option>
<option value="3">C</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="Category2">
<option value="4">D</option>
<option value="5">E</option>
<option value="6">F</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
<br><input type="button" value="go" onclick="clicked();">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function clicked(){
var v = "";
$('select').find(":selected").each(
function(){
if (v != ""){
v += "&";
}
v += $(this).parent()[0].label + '=' + $(this).context.value;
}
);
window.location.href = "index.php?" + v;
}
</script>
i have a dropdown menu and a submit button.. i want that when i select English Language and cick on submit then i redirect page English.php.
here is my code.. but it is not working....
<?php $lang=$_REQUEST['language']; ?>
<form action="<?php echo $lang; ?>" method="Post">
<select name="language">
<option>select one</option>
<option>English</option>
<option>Hindi</option>
</select>
<input type="submit">
</form>
You need to specify a value in your option tag. However, it is not safe to let the user specify the script to run. So you you should examine the values from the form in your PHP code and decide where to send the user.
<?php
$lang=$_REQUEST['language'];
switch ($lang) {
case 'english':
$page = 'english.php';
break;
case 'hindi':
$page = 'hindi.php';
break;
default:
$page = null;
}
if ($page) {
header("Location: ".$_POST['language']);
exit;
}
?>
<form method="post">
<select name="language">
<option value="">select one</option>
<option value="english">English</option>
<option value="hindi">Hindi</option>
</select>
</form>
For that you must have value defined for option
<select name="language">
<option value="">select one</option>
<option value="English.php">English</option>
<option value="Hindi.php">Hindi</option>
</select>
above are HTML code now when form is posted redirect to selected option as below.
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
header("Location: ".$_POST['language']);
exit;
}
or you can change the action of the form by jQuery, like:
$('select[name="language"]').change(function(){
$('form').attr('action' , $(this).val())
});
Please find a more detailed approach
<script language="javascript">
function goPage() {
if (document.frm.language.value != '') {
document.frm.action = document.frm.language.value;
document.frm.submit();
}
}
</script>
<form name="frm" method="get">
<select name="language">
<option value="">select one</option>
<option value="English.php">English</option>
<option value="Hindi.php">Hindi</option>
</select>
<input type="button" value="Go" onclick="javascript:goPage()" />
</form>
by using javascript
html code:
<select name="dropdpown" size="1" id="select-anchor">
<option value="#link">foo</option>
<option value="#link">bar</option>
</select>
script code:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#select-anchor').change( function () {
var targetPosition = $($(this).val()).offset().top;
$('html,body').animate({ scrollTop: targetPosition}, 'slow');
});
});

I have a question. Let me explain this with an example.
I have this piece of code:
<form action="vehicles.php" method="get">
<span>Marca:
<select name="brand">
<option value="null" selected="selected"></option>
<option value="Volkswagen">Volkswagen</option>
<option value="Renault">Renault</option>
<option value="Peugeot">Peugeot</option>
<option value="Fiat">Fiat</option>
</select>
</span>
<span>Modelo:
<select name="model">
<option value="null" selected="selected"></option>
<option value="206">206</option>
<option value="Suran">Suran</option>
<option value="Passat">Passat</option>
<option value="Punto">Punto</option>
</select>
</span>
<input type="submit">
</form>
Is any way to prevent the assignment of those variables if the option selected is the "null" one?
If, for example, I select brand="Renault" and model="null" the url is
http://mywebpage.com/vehicles.php?brand=Renault&model=null
but it should be
http://mywebpage.com/vehicles.php?brand=Renault
I know how to unset the variables with "null" value after the form submission with PHP. Is any way to do it before the submission and after the variables are setted to "null".
I would like a cleaner url, free of "variable=null" results.
P/D: I don't have a native english speaking so feel free to edit my question. I wish you understand me.
I am afraid that you might need javascript to achieve what you want.
Take a look at this code:
<form action="vehicles.php" id="carForm" method="GET">
<span>Marca:
<select name="brand" id="brand">
<option value="none" selected>-</option>
<option value="Volkswagen">Volkswagen</option>
<option value="Renault">Renault</option>
<option value="Peugeot">Peugeot</option>
<option value="Fiat">Fiat</option>
</select>
</span>
<span>Modelo:
<select name="model" id="model">
<option value="none" selected="selected">-</option>
<option value="206">206</option>
<option value="Suran">Suran</option>
<option value="Passat">Passat</option>
<option value="Punto">Punto</option>
</select>
</span>
<input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="submitFormFilter();" />
</form>
Javascript : code will be like this:
<script>
function submitFormFilter(){
var myForm = document.getElementById("carForm");
var carBrand = document.getElementById("brand");
var carModel = document.getElementById("model");
if(carBrand.value === "none" || null){
carBrand.parentNode.removeChild(carBrand);
}
if(carModel.value === "none" || null){
carModel.parentNode.removeChild(carModel);
}
myForm.submit();
}
</script>
http://jsfiddle.net/7xzKP/1/
you can it try here.
Include the value attribute of your option tags.
<option value="" selected="selected">-</option>
You should really do this for all of your options.
if you don't want to use $_GET superglobal because of the url extension that it comes with try using $_POST instead. It will not have a url extension and it can still store values that you can later retrieve. Just be sure to change your method to equal POST instead of GET.
So the code for the form tag would change to:
<form action="vehicles.php" method="POST">
And you can later access it by (for example):
echo $_POST['brand'];
or
echo $_POST['model'];
as well, you probably want to add a value param to the values that you have in your option tag.
EDIT-
I've added this new section since you don't want to use POST even though I think you should.
You can stay with the GET method by doing this line of code:
<form action="vehicles.php" method="GET">
<span>Marca:
<select name="brand">
<option value="none" selected>-</option>
<option value="Volkswagen">Volkswagen</option>
<option value="Renault">Renault</option>
<option value="Peugeot">Peugeot</option>
<option value="Fiat">Fiat</option>
</select>
</span>
<span>Modelo:
<select name="model">
<option value="none" selected>-</option>
<option value="206">206</option>
<option value="Suran">Suran</option>
<option value="Passat">Passat</option>
<option value="Punto">Punto</option>
</select>
</span>
<input type="submit">
</form>
Let me know if that helps
You should set the value for the option tag of <select> :)
You's missing set value for option tag. you should set the value for option tag in select tag. With the blank value, you can assign it to a special value like zero(0)
<select name="model">
<option value="0" selected>-</option>
<option value="1">206</option>
<option value="2">Suran</option>
<option value="3">Passat</option>
<option value="4">Punto</option>
</select>
EDIT:
Ok. I got your point. You can import jquery to your page and make a check by javascript before you submit, if the value of select box is blank. you can remove it.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$.ready(function(){
$("form").submit(function(){
if($("select[name='model']").val() == "0") $("select[name='model']").remove();
return true;
});
})
</script>
