I thinks this is pretty easy but yet can't do it for the sake of my life. Is this too much to ask for?
<select name="cars">
<?php
if (isset($_POST['Submit1'])) {
$car = $_POST['cars'];
}
?>
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="opel">Opel</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
</body>
</head>
<body>
<Form name ="form1" Method ="POST" Action ="">
<Input Type = "text" Value ="<?php echo $car; ?>" Name ="word">
<Input Type = "Submit" Name = "Submit1" Value = "Submit">
</FORM>
The <select> tag is an HTML form element and in order to be submitted that tag would have to be inside the <form> tag.
Your new code should look like this:
<body>
<form name="form1" method="POST" action="">
<select name="cars">
<?php
if (isset($_POST['Submit1'])) {
$car = $_POST['cars'];
}
?>
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="opel">Opel</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
<input type="text" value="<?php echo $car; ?>" name="word" />
<input type="Submit" name="Submit1" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
Let me know if you have any other questions.

I am trying to make a dropdown list and take three parameters from the user which will be stored in a php file for later use. My current code is :
<body>
<header>
<form action="parameter.php" method="post">
<label class="heading">First</label>
<select name="First">
<option value="First-1">First-1</option>
<option value="First-2">First-2</option>
</select>
<input type="submit">
</form>
<form action="parameter.php" method="post">
<label class="heading">Second</label>
<select name="Second">
<option value="Second-1">Second-1</option>
<option value="Second-2">Second-2</option>
</select>
<input type="submit">
</form>
<form action="parameter.php" method="post">
<label class="heading">Third</label>
<select name="Third">
<option value="Third-1">Third-1</option>
<option value="Third-2">Third-2</option>
<input type="submit">
</select>
</form>
</header>
</body>
Here, the problem is, I don't want submit button for each parameter, instead there should be only one button for all the parameters. I have tried several things but none is working.
My php file
<?php
echo $_POST['First'];
echo $_POST['Second'];
echo $_POST['Third'];
?>
Where am I going wrong?
EDIT : Corrected the php code
Just wrap all your selects under one form instead of 3 different forms.
Make sure that the input submit is not inside the select tag.
Also, note that your php code is trying to echo parameters that don't exist in the html you shared. The name of your select will be the parameter name.
<form action="parameter.php" method="post">
<label class="heading">First</label>
<select name="First" >
<option value="First-1">First-1</option>
<option value="First-2">First-2</option>
</select>
<label class="heading">Second</label>
<select name="Second" >
<option value="Second-1">Second-1</option>
<option value="Second-2">Second-2</option>
</select>
<label class="heading">Third</label>
<select name="Third" >
<option value="Third-1">Third-1</option>
<option value="Third-2">Third-2</option>
</select>
<input type="submit">
</form>
PHP
<?php
echo $_POST['First'];
echo $_POST['Second'];
echo $_POST['Third'];
?>
you can add all there in one form
<form action="parameter.php" method="post">
<label class="heading">First</label>
<select name="First" >
<option value="First-1">First-1</option>
<option value="First-2">First-2</option>
</select>
<label class="heading">Second</label>
<select name="Second" >
<option value="Second-1">Second-1</option>
<option value="Second-2">Second-2</option>
</select>
<label class="heading">Third</label>
<select name="Third" >
<option value="Third-1">Third-1</option>
<option value="Third-2">Third-2</option>
<input type="submit">
</select>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
in your code you have missed button "name".
parameter.php code should be this.
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
echo $First = $_POST['First'];
echo $Second = $_POST['Second'];
echo $Third = $_POST['Third'];
}
<form action="parameter.php" method="post" id="frm">
<label class="heading">First</label>
<select name="First" >
<option value="First-1">First-1</option>
<option value="First-2">First-2</option>
</select>
<label class="heading">Second</label>
<select name="Second" >
<option value="Second-1">Second-1</option>
<option value="Second-2">Second-2</option>
</select>
<label class="heading">Third</label>
<select name="Third" >
<option value="Third-1">Third-1</option>
<option value="Third-2">Third-2</option>
</select>
<input type="submit">
</form>
JQuery AJAX
<script>
$('#frm').on('submit', function(e){
e.preventDefault();

url : $(this).attr('action'),

I need help.
I have a select box with items and I want, if the user select a car name and click on "search" I need to have the name of the car he selected on a "echo".
I tried couple of things but it displays nothing (blank page).
below is my code.
Thanks in advance !
<select name="category" >
<option value="nocategory">No Category</option>
<option value="toyota">Toyota</option>
<option value="nissan">Nissan</option>
<option value="mazda">Mazda</option>
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
</select>
<input name="submit" value="Search" type="submit">
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])){
$category = $_POST['category'];
?>
Set form action to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] like below: $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is a PHP super global variable which returns the filename of the currently executing script.
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<select name="category" >
<option value="nocategory">No Category</option>
<option value="toyota">Toyota</option>
<option value="nissan">Nissan</option>
<option value="mazda">Mazda</option>
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
</select>
<input name="submit" value="Search" type="submit">
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])){
$category = $_POST['category'];
echo $category;
}
?>

You need to make a form
Here is the solution for you,
<?php
if (isset($_REQUEST['save'])) {
$sql = "SELECT Business_Unit, COUNT(Joining_Month) AS 'A' FROM jl WHERE Business_Unit = '".$_REQUEST['opt']."' GROUP BY Business_Unit";
// Here is your sql query
echo $sql;exit();
}
?>
Yor HTML code:
<form method="post" action="">
<select name="opt">
<option value="1">Option 1</option>
<option value="2">Option 2</option>
<option value="3">Option 3</option>
<option value="4">Option 4</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="save" />
</form>
Given simple working demo to fulfill your requirement. Hope it will help you.
I'm new in php, and I need help. I have created drop down list, than I should hit submit button and it should run one of my php files that are in drop down list. (using if statement) I tried in this way:
<p>
What Genre you want?
<select name="Ganre">
<option value="">Select...</option>
<option value="FPS">FPS</option>
<option value="JRPG">JRPG</option>
<option value="RPG">RPG</option>
<option value="Sports">Sports</option>
</select>
<?php if (Genre == "FPS"): ?>
<FORM METHOD="LINK" ACTION="FPS.php">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit">
</FORM>;
</p>
Use your code like this:
<?php if (Genre == "FPS") { ?>
<form method="get" action="FPS.php">
<select name="Genre">
<option value="">Select...</option>
<option value="FPS">FPS</option>
<option value="JRPG">JRPG</option>
<option value="RPG">RPG</option>
<option value="Sports">Sports</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<?php } ?>
You can get values in PHP by using PHP superglobal (POST/GET):
<?php
if(isset($_GET['Ganre'])){
echo $_GET['Ganre'];
// use your stuff that you want in IF condition.
}
?>
And if you need values in URL as sub string than you need to replace form method with $_GET:
Change:
<FORM METHOD="LINK" ACTION="FPS.php">
With:
<form method="get" action="yourfilename.php">
I am trying to not have a submit button, is there any way that the form can submit when the user selects a value?
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" >
<table class="form">
<select name="category" class="formfield" id="category">
<option value="-1"> Category </option>
<?php
$sql_contry = "SELECT * FROM category";
$rs_c = mysql_query($sql_contry);
while ($row_c = mysql_fetch_array($rs_c)) {
echo '<option value="'.$row_c['category'].'">'.$row_c['category'].'</option>';
}
?>
</select>
</table>
</form>
Here an example
<form>
<select name='myfield' onchange='this.form.submit()'>
<option selected>Milk</option>
<option>Coffee</option>
<option>Tea</option>
</select>
<noscript><input type="submit" value="Submit"></noscript>
</form>
Using noscript tag it allows browsers that are not JavaScript-enabled to still function.
Yes - use javascript:
Html:
<form id="frm">
<select onchange="onSelectChange();">
<option>1</option>
<option>1</option>
<select>
</form>
js:
function onSelectChange(){
document.getElementById('frm').submit();
}
<form action="product.php" method="POST">
<select onchange="this.form.submit();" name="prod">
<option value="">Select product</option>
<option value="1">abc</option>
<option value="2">def</option>
<option value="3">ghi</option>
<option value="4">jkl</option>
<option value="5">mno</option>
</select>
Just change code as below, I haven't check code so there may be some error like capital/small letter I am not sure like, it's submit() or Submit() and so on..
<script language="javascript">
function submitForm(){
var val = document.myform.category.value;
if(val!=-1){
document.myform.submit();
}
}
</script>
<form method="post" name="myform" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" >
<table class="form">
<select name="category" class="formfield" id="category" onchange="submitForm();">
<option value="-1"> Category </option>
<?php
$sql_contry = "SELECT * FROM category";
$rs_c = mysql_query($sql_contry);
while ($row_c = mysql_fetch_array($rs_c)) {
echo '<option value="'.$row_c['category'].'">'.$row_c['category'].'</option>';
}
?>
</select>
</table>
</form>
