I am trying to get the names of the events from a table in a database, i need to insert this data in a dropdown list, so then someone clicks them and then the information for this specific event displays...
Here is my code up to now..
<?php
require "config.php"; // Your Database details
?>
<?PHP
$SQL = "SELECT title_en_US FROM civicrm_event";
$result = mysql_query($SQL);
// Write out our query.
$query = "SELECT title_en_US FROM civicrm_event";
// Execute it, or return the error message if there's a problem.
$result = mysql_query($SQL);
while ($db_field = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
print $db_field['title_en_US'] . "<BR>";
}
?>
Can you tell me how to put first the event names into a dropdown list?
Thanks!
Please use the following code
$options='';
while($db_field = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$options .= "<option>".$db_field['title_en_US']."</option>";
}
For the html part,
<select name="titles"><? echo $options; ?></select>

I'm a complete newbie with PHP/html stuff so please bear with me.
I've been trying to populate a select box using data from a myslq database and I can't get it to work, all I have is just a blank textBox.
This is what I have for now:
<select name="cargo">
<?php
require("conectadb.php");
$ok = conecta_db() or die ("Failure");
$sql = mysqli_query($ok, "SELECT descCargo FROM tbcargo");
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($sql)){
$c = $row['descCargo'];
echo("<option value=\"$c\">$c</option>");
}
?>
</select>
This is my database structure for now, with all the relevant rows:
Database name: tbcargo
PkCodCargo (primary key, AUTO_INCREMENT)
descCargo (what I want to fill the dropdown with)
I've tried everything I could think of to no avail, unfortunately.
Can someone help to point out exactly what am I doing wrong here?
Thanks in advance!
Update the part of your code to:
<select name= 'cargo'>
<?php
require("conectadb.php");
$ok = conecta_db() or die ("Failure");
$sql = mysqli_query($ok, "SELECT descCargo FROM tbcargo");
while ($rows = $sql->fetch_assoc())
{
echo '<option value="'.$rows['descCargo'].'">'.$rows['descCargo'].'</option>';
}
?>
</select>
I've finally found out the issue.
My file was named .html instead of .php and that's why nothing ever worked.
Hope this is able to help another newbie like myself out there
Cheers!
Here is the solution.
# here database details
mysql_connect('hostname', 'username', 'password');
mysql_select_db('database-name');
$sql = "SELECT descCargo FROM tbcargo";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
echo "<select name='cargo'>";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo '<option value="'. $row['descCargo'] .'">'.$row['descCargo'] .'</option>';
}
echo "</select>";
First I'm hitting on a wall here and I really could use your help. I coded the database so I have it all up and working plus all the data inside. I worked the HTML and the CSS media print query and I have it how I want it to look exactly. All I have to do now is:
for every row of the mysql select table I have to fill every specific input form
of the html page I made and print it
Can someone give me a hint of how I can do that?
Assuming you want to connect to your database and simply fetch the id you can do the following.
Ensure you change my_host, my_user, my-password, my_databse,my_tablewith your configuration settings. Then if you want to fetch anything else thanid` just change it to the column name you are looking for.
Be aware we are using PHP here.
// Open Connection
$con = #mysqli_connect('my_host', 'my_user', 'my-password', 'my_databse');
if (!$con) {
echo "Error: " . mysqli_connect_error();
exit();
}
// Some Query
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM my_table';
$query = mysqli_query($con, $sql);
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query))
{
echo $row['id'];
}
// Close connection
mysqli_close ($con);
Check this link to get a in-depth explanation.
You can do this with two pages. One page gives you the overview and the other page gives you a print preview of your invoice.
The overview:
// DB select stuff here
while ($row = $result->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
echo "<tr>\n";
echo " <td>".htmlspecialchars($row['what'])."</td>\n";
echo " <td>".htmlspecialchars($row['ever'])."</td>\n";
echo " <td>Detail</td>\n";
echo "</tr>\n";
}
The detail page:
$sql = 'SELECT your, columns FROM tab WHERE id = ?';
$stmt = $db->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute(array($_GET['id']));
$row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
if (!$row) {
echo "There is no data for the given Id\n";
return;
}
echo "What: ".htmlspecialchars($row['what'])."<br />\n";
echo "Ever: ".htmlspecialchars($row['ever'])."<br />\n";
I am missing something from my code and I don't know how to make it work. I may have programed it wrong and that could be giving me my troubles. I am new at php and things have been going slowly. please understand that the code my not be organized as it should be. After creating about 12 pages of code I found out that I should be using mysqli or pod. Once I get everything working that will be the next project. Enough said here is my issue. I was able to populate my drop down box and there shows no errors on the page. Also all the data does get inserted into the database except for the section made on the drop down box. Here is my code. I will leave out all of the input fields except the drop down.
<?php
{$userid = $getuser[0]['username'];}
// this is processed when the form is submitted
// back on to this page (POST METHOD)
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST")
{
# escape data and set variables
$tank = addslashes($_POST["tank"]);
$date = addslashes($_POST["date"]);
$temperature = addslashes($_POST["temperature"]);
$ph = addslashes($_POST["ph"]);
$ammonia = addslashes($_POST["ammonia"]);
$nitrite = addslashes($_POST["nitrite"]);
$nitrate = addslashes($_POST["nitrate"]);
$phosphate = addslashes($_POST["phosphate"]);
$gh = addslashes($_POST["gh"]);
$kh = addslashes($_POST["kh"]);
$iron = addslashes($_POST["iron"]);
$potassium = addslashes($_POST["potassium"]);
$notes = addslashes($_POST["notes"]);
// build query
// # setup SQL statement
$sql = " INSERT INTO water_parameters ";
$sql .= " (id, userid, tank, date, temperature, ph, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, gh, kh, iron, potassium, notes) VALUES ";
$sql .= " ('', '$userid', '$tank', '$date', '$temperature', '$ph', '$ammonia', '$nitrite', '$nitrate', '$phosphate', '$gh', '$kh', '$iron', '$potassium', '$notes') ";
// #execute SQL statement
$result = mysql_query($sql);
// # check for error
if (mysql_error()) { print "Database ERROR: " . mysql_error(); }
print "<h3><font color=red>New Water Parameters Were Added</font></h3>";
}
?>'
Here is the drop down
<tr><td><div align="left"><b>Tank Name: </b> </div></td><td><div align="left">
<?php
echo "<select>";
$result = mysql_query("SELECT tank FROM tank WHERE userid = '$userid'");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "". $row["tank"] . "";
}
echo "";
?>
</div></td></tr>
You missed some code in while loop.
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<option>".$row['tank']."</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
are you able to build drop down menu or box. if not try this query
$sql="SELECT `tank` FROM `tank` WHERE user_name='$user'";
$result=mysqli_query($dbc,$sql)
//here $dbc is a variable which you use to connect with the database.
Otherwise leave that only read from here why you need to change your code. in the while loop
one one more thing you have to give your select attribute a name, because it will return the value through name so give a name to your select attributes as you are using tank while building your drop down menu so i will give a same name tank. Than you dont have to change anything.
and you have to give value to your option as well, thanks
echo "<select name='age'>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<option value='" . $row['tank'] . "' >" . $row['tank'] . "</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
I'm trying out my hand at php at the moment - I'm very new to it!
I was wondering how you would go about selecting all items from a mySQL table (Using a SELECT * FROM .... query) to put all data into an array but then not displaying the data in a table form. Instead, using the extracted data in different areas of a web page.
For example:
I would like the name, DOB and favorite fruit to appear in one area where there is already say 'SAINSBURYS' section hardcoded into the page. Then further down the next row that is applicable to 'ASDA' to appear below that.
I searched both here and google and cant seem to find an answer to my strange questions! Would this involve running the query multiple times filtering out the sainsburies data and the asda data where ever I wanted to place the relevant
echo $row['name']." ";
echo $row['DOB']." "; etc etc
next to where it should go?
I have got php to include data into an array (I think?!)
$query = "SELECT * FROM people";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
echo $row['name']." ";
echo $row['DOB']." ";
echo $row['Fruit']." ";
}
?>
Just place this (or whatever your trying to display):
echo $row['name']." ";
Anywhere you want the info to appear. You can place it within HTML if you want, just open new php tags.
<h1>This is a the name <?php echo $row['name']." ";?></h1>
If you want to access your data later outside the while-loop, you have to store it elsewhere.
You could for example create a class + array and store the data in there.
class User {
public $name, $DOB, $Fruit;
}
$users = new array();
$query = "SELECT * FROM people";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$user = new User;
$user->name = $row["name"];
$user->DOB = $row["DOB"];
$user->Fruit = $row["Fruit"];
$users[$row["name"]] = $user;
}
Now you can access the user-data this way:
$users["USERNAME"]->name
$users["USERNAME"]->DOB
$users["USERNAME"]->Fruit
so as the title states, using the following code I have got it populating the dropbox with a single result from the query, that result being the latest added in the table.
here is my code:
<?php
$query = "SELECT * FROM units_tb WHERE user_id='$userid'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
$aa = "<option value='{$row['unit_id']}'>{$row['unit_code']}</option>";
}
?>
<select name="t_unit"><? echo $aa; ?></select>
The odd thing is, I use this same code for another field, and it works, populating the dropdown with all the results, however in this case it only fills in the last unit code in the table and not all of which are attached to the particular user id.
I would appreciate anyones thoughts :D
thanks
$aa .= "<option value='{$row['unit_id']}'>{$row['unit_code']}</option>";
add . before = and initiate $aa = ''; before while loop
<?php
$query = "SELECT * FROM units_tb WHERE user_id='$userid'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());
$options = "";
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
$options .= "<option value='{$row['unit_id']}'>{$row['unit_code']}</option>";
}
?>
<select name="t_unit"><? echo $options; ?></select>
should work. You forgot a . in your while loop
