I've got a dynamic select list, which is generated from MySQL. I've got no problem listing them, but I cant seem to get it's value when I submit the form. Here's my script for the Select:
<div class="form-group">
<select class="form-control" id="make" name="make">
<option value="">Make</option>
<?php
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
$x = 1;
While($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
?>
<option value="<?php $row[fmake];?>" <?php if($_POST['make'] == $row[fmake]) echo 'selected="selected" '; ?>><?php echo $row[fmake];?></option>
<?php
$x = $x + 1;
}
}?>
</select>
</div>
And here's the script to get it's value:
if ($_POST["submit"]) {
$make = $_POST['make'];
when I do an echo for $make, I don't get anything at all. What went wrong? All help appreciated. Thanks
You forgot to echo $row['fmake'] and quotation marks mistake.
change this
<option value="<?php $row[fmake];?>" <?php if($_POST['make'] == $row[fmake]) echo 'selected="selected" '; ?>><?php echo $row[fmake];?></option>
by
<option value="<?php echo $row['fmake'];?>" <?php if($_POST['make'] == $row['fmake']) echo 'selected="selected" '; ?>><?php echo $row['fmake'];?></option>
shouldn't it be $row['fmake'] instead of $row[fmake]
<option value="<?php $row['fmake'];?>" <?php if($_POST['make'] == $row['fmake']) echo 'selected="selected" '; ?>><?php echo $row['fmake'];?></option>
Believe you're missing an echo.
value="<?php $row[fmake];?>"
Should be:
value="<?php echo $row[fmake];?>"
I have an option menu that works properly when there are records to display. I sometimes have a new item that still does not have records and I would like the option menu not to display any dates. Instead it displays 1969-12-31.
<select name="selDate" id="selDate" onchange="formDate.submit()">
<option value="%">all dates</option>
<?php
do {
?>
<option value="<?php echo $row_RecordsetDate['date']?>"<?php if
($varDate_Recordset1 == $row_RecordsetDate['date']) {echo 'selected';} ?>><?
php $dates=date('l, F d, Y',strtotime($row_RecordsetDate['date']));
?></option>
<?php
} while ($row_RecordsetDate = mysql_fetch_assoc($RecordsetDate));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($RecordsetDate);
if($rows > 0) {
mysql_data_seek($RecordsetDate, 0);
$row_RecordsetDate = mysql_fetch_assoc($RecordsetDate);
}
?>
</select>
How can I have the option menu display blank if no records or just state no date available?
<select name="selDate" id="selDate" onchange="formDate.submit()">
<option value="%">all dates</option>
<?php
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($RecordsetDate)){
if(isset($row['date'])){
if(strlen($row['date'])){
echo '<option value="'.$row['date'].'"';
if($varDate_Recordset1 == $row['date']){
echo 'selected';
}
$date = date('l, F d, Y',strtotime($row['date']));
echo '>'.$date.'</option>';
}
}
}
?>
</select>
Through trial and error, I came up with the following solution. I placed an if else statement in the option value.
<option value="<?php echo $row_RecordsetDate['date']?>"<?php if ($varDate_Recordset1 == $row_RecordsetDate['date']) {echo 'selected';} ?>><?php $dates=date('l, F d, Y',strtotime($row_RecordsetDate['date'])); $rows = mysql_num_rows($RecordsetDate); if(!empty($rows)){
echo $dates;
}else{
echo ""; }?></option>
Below is the complete solution.
<select name="selDate" id="selDate" onchange="formDate.submit()">
<option value="%">all dates</option>
<?php
do {
?>
<option value="<?php echo $row_RecordsetDate['date']?>"<?php if ($varDate_Recordset1 == $row_RecordsetDate['date']) {echo 'selected';} ?>><?php $dates=date('l, F d, Y',strtotime($row_RecordsetDate['date'])); $rows = mysql_num_rows($RecordsetDate); if(!empty($rows)){
echo $dates;
}else{
echo ""; }?></option>
<?php
} while ($row_RecordsetDate = mysql_fetch_assoc($RecordsetDate));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($RecordsetDate);
if($rows > 0) {
mysql_data_seek($RecordsetDate, 0);
$row_RecordsetDate = mysql_fetch_assoc($RecordsetDate);
}
?>
</select>

I got many other solution with using div or other.
but i just want it with select option only is it posible if yes how .andi can fetch the result in mysql and i want that result with comma seprator in mysql.
My code is not tested, since i do not have the data, but based on your logic, you can use it like this:
$theOthers = array(30, 34, 35);
while ($rec = mysql_fetch_array($GetCityRecord)) {
if (in_array($rec['City_Id'], $theOthers)) {
$others[$rec['City_Id']] = $rec['City'];
continue;
}
$checked = '';
if (isset($_POST['SelPreLoc']) && in_array($rec['City_Id'], $_POST['SelPreLoc'])) {
$checked = 'checked="checked"';
}
?>
<input type="checkbox" name="city[]" value="<?php $rec['City_Id']; ?>" <?php echo $checked; ?> /> <?php echo $rec['City']; ?> <br />
<?php
}
foreach ($others as $ind => $val) {
$checked = '';
if (isset($_POST['SelPreLoc']) && in_array($ind, $_POST['SelPreLoc'])) {
$checked = 'checked="checked"';
}
?>
<input type="checkbox" name="city[]" value="<?php echo $ind; ?>" <?php echo $checked; ?> /> <?php echo $val; ?> <br />
<?php
}
NOTE: I improved your code a littlebit with the $theOthers array, i think it's more readable.
When form is submitted, let's var_dump($_POST["city"]);
I need to get selected value from db into select box. please, tell me how to do it. Here is the code.
Note: 'options' value depends on the category.
<?php
$sql = "select * from mine where username = '$user' ";
$res = mysql_query($sql);
while($list = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)){
$category = $list['category'];
$username = $list['username'];
$options = $list['options'];
?>
<input type="text" name="category" value="<?php echo '$category' ?>" readonly="readonly" />
<select name="course">
<option value="0">Please Select Option</option>
<option value="PHP">PHP</option>
<option value="ASP">ASP</option>
</select>
<?php
}
?>
I think you are looking for below code changes:
<select name="course">
<option value="0">Please Select Option</option>
<option value="PHP" <?php if($options=="PHP") echo 'selected="selected"'; ?> >PHP</option>
<option value="ASP" <?php if($options=="ASP") echo 'selected="selected"'; ?> >ASP</option>
</select>
The easiest way I can think of is the following:
<?php
$selection = array('PHP', 'ASP');
echo '<select>
<option value="0">Please Select Option</option>';
foreach ($selection as $selection) {
$selected = ($options == $selection) ? "selected" : "";
echo '<option '.$selected.' value="'.$selection.'">'.$selection.'</option>';
}
echo '</select>';
The code basically places all of your options in an array which are called upon in the foreach loop. The loop checks to see if your $options variable matches the current selection it's on, if it's a match then $selected will = selected, if not then it is set as blank. Finally the option tag is returned containing the selection from the array and if that particular selection is equal to your $options variable, it's set as the selected option.
for example ..and please use mysqli() next time because mysql() is deprecated.
<?php
$select="select * from tbl_assign where id='".$_GET['uid']."'";
$q=mysql_query($select) or die($select);
$row=mysql_fetch_array($q);
?>
<select name="sclient" id="sclient" class="reginput"/>
<option value="">Select Client</option>
<?php $s="select * from tbl_new_user where type='client'";
$q=mysql_query($s) or die($s);
while($rw=mysql_fetch_array($q))
{ ?>
<option value="<?php echo $rw['login_name']; ?>"<?php if($row['clientname']==$rw['login_name']) echo 'selected="selected"'; ?>><?php echo $rw['login_name']; ?></option>
<?php } ?>
</select>
Just Add an extra hidden option and print selected value from database
<option value="<?php echo $options;?>" hidden><?php echo $options;?></option>
<option value="PHP">PHP</option>
<option value="ASP">ASP</option>
Select value from drop down.
<select class="form-control" name="category" id="sel1">
<?php foreach($data as $key =>$value) { ?>
<option value="<?php echo $data[$key]->name; ?>"<?php if($id_name[0]->p_name==$data[$key]->name) echo 'selected="selected"'; ?>><?php echo $data[$key]->name; ?></option>
<?php } ?>
</select>
THE EASIEST SOLUTION
It will add an extra in your options but your problem will be solved.
<?php
if ($editing == Yes) {
echo "<option value=\".$MyValue.\" SELECTED>".$MyValue."</option>";
}
?>
$option = $result['semester'];
<option >Select</option>
<option value="1st" <?php if($option == "1st") echo 'selected = "selected"'; ?>>1st</option>
<option value="2nd" <?php if($option == "2nd") echo 'selected = "selected"'; ?>>2nd</option>
<option value="3rd" <?php if($option == "3rd") echo 'selected = "selected"'; ?>>3rd</option>
<option value="4th" <?php if($option == "4th") echo 'selected = "selected"'; ?>>4th</option>
<option value="5th" <?php if($option == "5th") echo 'selected = "selected"'; ?>>5th</option>
<option value="6th" <?php if($option == "6th") echo 'selected = "selected"'; ?>>6th</option>
<option value="7th" <?php if($option == "7th") echo 'selected = "selected"'; ?>>7th</option>
<option value="8th" <?php if($option == "8th") echo 'selected = "selected"'; ?>>8th</option>
</select>
BEST code and simple
<select id="example-getting-started" multiple="multiple" name="category">
<?php
$query = "select * from mine";
$results = mysql_query($query);
while ($rows = mysql_fetch_assoc(#$results)){
?>
<option value="<?php echo $rows['category'];?>"><?php echo $rows['category'];?></option>
<?php
}
?>
</select>
You can also do like this ....
<?php $countryname = $all_meta_for_user['country']; ?>
<select id="mycountry" name="country" class="user">
<?php $myrows = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT * FROM wp_countries order by country_name" );
foreach($myrows as $rows){
if( $countryname == $rows->id ){
echo "<option selected = 'selected' value='".$rows->id."'>".$rows->country_name."</option>";
} else{
echo "<option value='".$rows->id."'>".$rows->country_name."</option>";
}
}
?>
</select>
Answer is simple.
when u pass value from dropdown.
Just use as if else.
for eg:
foreach($result as $row) {
$GLOBALS['output'] .='<option value="'.$row["dropdownid"].'"'.
($GLOBALS['passselectedvalueid']==$row["dropwdownid"] ? ' Selected' : '').'
>'.$row['valueetc'].'</option>';
}
<?php
$sql = "select * from mine where username = '$user' ";
$res = mysql_query($sql);
while($list = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)){
$category = $list['category'];
$username = $list['username'];
$options = $list['options'];
?>
<input type="text" name="category" value="<?php echo '$category' ?>" readonly="readonly" />
<select name="course">
<option value="0">Please Select Option</option>
<option value="PHP" <?php echo $options == 'PHP' ? 'selected' : ''; ?> >PHP</option>
<option value="ASP" <?php echo $options == 'ASP' ? 'selected' : ''; ?> >ASP</option>
</select>
<?php
}
?>
USING PDO
<?php
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$db = "db_name";
$dns = "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=$db;charset=utf8mb4";
$conn = new PDO($dns,$username, $password);
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$sql = "select * from mine where username = ? ";
$stmt1 = $conn->prepare($sql);
$stmt1->execute(array($_POST['user']));
$all = $stmt1->fetchAll(); ?>
<div class="controls">
<select data-rel="chosen" name="degree_id" id="selectError">
<?php
foreach($all as $nt) {
echo "<option value =$nt[id]>$nt[name]</option>";
}
?>
</select>
</div>
I'm using eval() PHP function like this:
My PHP code:
$selOps1 = $selOps2 = $selOps3 = '';
eval('$selOps'. $dbRow["DBitem"] . ' = "selected";');
Then in my select box I use it like this:
<select>
<option <?=$selOps1?> value="1">big</option>
<option <?=$selOps2?> value="2">Middle</option>
<option <?=$selOps3?> value="3">Small</option>
</select>
Put value from db into a variable and check like following code example
<select class="form-control" name="currency_selling" required >
<option value="">Select Currency</option>
<option value="pkr" <?=$selected_currency == 'pkr' ? ' selected="selected"' : '';?> >PKR</option>
<option value="dollar" <?=$selected_currency == 'dollar' ? ' selected="selected"' : '';?> >USD</option>
<option value="pounds" <?=$selected_currency == 'pounds' ? ' selected="selected"' : '';?> >POUNDS</option>
<option value="dirham" <?=$selected_currency == 'dirham' ? ' selected="selected"' : '';?> >DRHM</option>
</select>
This may help you.

I am trying to combine a table select output with a piece of code I found to keep the selected state:
<select>
<?php
$desired_option = 'arsenal';
$arr = array('arsenal', 'aston villa', 'birmingham', 'blackpool', 'bolton');
for($i = 0; $i < count($arr); $i++) {
$selected = ($arr[$i] == $desired_option) ? 'selected="selected"' : '';
echo "<option value=\"{$arr[$i]}\" {$selected}>{$arr[$i]}</option>";
}
?>
</select>
<select id="teams" onchange="this.form.submit();" name="teamid">
<?
include('db.php');
$getTeams = mysql_query("SELECT name, id FROM team") or die(mysql_error());
while ($teamsData = mysql_fetch_array($getTeams))
{
?>
<option value="<? echo $teamsData['id']; ?>" ><? echo $teamsData['name']; ?></option>
<?
}
?>
</select>
I have tried everything. Any ideas?
Thanks :)
