i have this code right here:
<select name="group">
<option value="">Choose a group....</option>
<?php foreach($groups as $group):?>
<option value="<?php echo $group['groupID']?>" selected="yes"><?php echo $group['name']?></option>
<?php endforeach;?>
</select>
my question is how would i code the 'option' tag in my dropdown so that when i edit an existing data, the selected group(admin, users, moderators) of the data i will be editing will appear when i edit it.thanks.
The selected="yes" HTML attribute of the option tag should be only one. You need to put it on the right group.
Set a PHP variable like $selected_group that is true if the group is the right one, and print the selected attribute only for that group.
Set it to false instead.
For example, if your selected group id is putted as a request parameter called groupID you should use the code below:
<select name="group">
<option value="">Choose a group....</option>
<?php foreach($groups as $group):?>
<?php if ($group['groupID'] == $_REQUEST['groupID']) $selected_group = true; else $selected_group = false; ?>
<option value="<?php echo $group['groupID']?>" <? if ($selected_group) echo 'selected="yes"'; ?>><?php echo $group['name']?></option>
<?php endforeach;?>
</select>
You could set the chosen groupid as a array member inside $groups, for example:
$groups[0]['selected'] = true;
In this case change the line inside the loop like this one:
<?php if ($group['selected']) $selected_group = true; else $selected_group = false; ?>

I need to make one of the form into read only based on user's division
here's my form in my view:
<select class="form-control" name="division" id="division">
<option selected="selected" disabled="disabled" >-Choose-</option>
<option selected="selected" value="all">All</option>
<?php
if($query->num_rows()) {
foreach($query->result() as $row):
?>
<option value="<?php echo $row->id_division?>">
<?php echo $row->name_division;?>
</option>
<?php
endforeach;
}
?>
</select>
Is there any way to make it read only based on the user's id_division? So once they click submit or something this will also input their own id_division
I guess from your question that there are more than one $id_division, and more than one <option> in the select dropdown. In that one $id_division belongs to the current user.
While submitting form, value of this current user's $id_division only need to pass. In other words, by default the dropdown value should be automatically set for the option which belongs to the current user.
For that case you have to check each &id_division in the foreach loop whether its equal to the id_division of current user. And add the selected attribute dynamically to the <option> if it equals.
for that,
<?php
if($query->num_rows()) {
foreach($query->result() as $row):
if($id_division==[id_division of current user]){//You have to replace [id_division of current user] with variable that you keep current user id_division data.
$selected='selected';
}else{
$selected='';
}
?>
<option value="<?php echo $row->id_division?>" <?php echo $selected;?>>
<?php echo $row->name_division;?>
</option>
<?php
endforeach;
}
I have a create.php which creates a user, and edit.php for editing information of the student.
I'm a beginner in PHP so if this might be a question that has a very easy method, please do tell.
I've been searching for retrieving a value that has already been set on a dropdown, but the only things I've found are:
a.) They only print the selected value, not retrieve the already-set option.
sample code:
<p>Schedule</p>
<select value="<?= $data->schedule; ?>" name = "schedule">
<?php
$schedule = array ('Morning', 'Afternoon');
foreach ($schedule as $sched) { ?>
<option value="<?php echo $sched; ?>"><?php echo $sched; ?></option>
</select>
<?php } ?>
b.) I have no knowledge of javascript, I tried it, but as I have no knowledge of it, I can't seem to make it work.
sample codes I tried:
<p>Schedule</p>
<select id = "my_select" name = "schedule">
<option id = "o1" id="id1">Morning</option>
<option id = "o2" id="id2">Afternoon</option>
</select>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#my_select").change(function() {
var id = $(this).find('option:selected').attr('id');
});
</script>
I also tried
document.getElementById('schedule').selectedOptions[0].text
but still does not output "afternoon"
This is my last resort as I have no other resource to find.
I added a picture of what I wanted to do since my question might be a little confusing.
Selects use selected attribute not the value to define the selected state.
So in your code check the value and then apply selected.
<p>Schedule</p>
<select name="schedule">
<?php foreach (['Morning', 'Afternoon'] as $sched): ?>
<option value="<?= $sched ?>"<?= ($data->schedule == $sched ? ' selected' : null) ?>><?= $sched ?></option>
<?php endforeach ?>
</select>
I've try several times for dropdownlist validation,
my codes are in PHP and HTML, the the validation part is not working though and i've refer some of the solutions in stackoverflow which has similar case like mine.
Declare variable
$call_department = $db->escape((int)$_POST['call_department']); //where i declare this variable
HTML files
<tr><td>Department</td><td><select name='call_department'>
<option></option>
<?php $call_dept = $db->get_results("select type_id,type_name from site_types where type=1 order by type_name;");
foreach ($call_dept as $dept )
{?>
<option value='<?php echo $dept->type_id;?>'><?php echo $dept->type_name; required?></option>
<?php } ?>
</select></td></tr>
Validation part:
<?php
if(isset($_REQUEST['call_department']) && $_REQUEST['call_department'] == '0') {
echo 'Please select a department.';
}
?>
1) Set first option value="0" like this
<option value="0">select</option>
2) Required attribute should be set to select tag not to option tag <select name='call_department' required>
<select name='call_department' required>
<option value="0">select</option>
<?php $call_dept = $db->get_results("select type_id,type_name from site_types where type=1 order by type_name;");
foreach ($call_dept as $dept )
{
?>
<option value='<?php echo $dept->type_id;?>'><?php echo $dept->type_name; ?></option>
<?php } ?>
</select>
i want to get the id of selected option in dropdown.
I have a dropdow that displays company names from database. Now I want get the id of that company. How do i do that?
<select required name="org-list" id="org-list" class="form-control">
<option value="">Select</option>
<?php foreach($org as $value) { ?>
<option id="org" value="<?php echo $value['org_name'];?>"><?php echo $value['org_name']; ?></option>
<?php } ?>
</select>
The Model
public function get_organisation()
{
$q = $this->db->select('*')
->from('company')
->get();
return $q->result_array();
}
And in my controller i want the id of selected option from database.
$data = $this->key_m->array_from_post(array('id','org-list','keys'));
$data['keys'] = $license;
var_dump($data);
You should put the organization id in option tag's value. like this
<option value="<?php echo $value['org_id'];?>"><?php echo $value['org_name']; ?></option>
No need to provide id attribute to each option tag. When you will submit the form value of "org-list" will be selected organization id.
This is the ajax way
$.post(url,{ id : "id value from drop down here" },function(data){
//This is the call back for success
})
For that one, you need jquery. The is the easiest way to use. Url is where you are posting back to server.
In your server side catch like this
$this->input->post('id')
Because you used "id" in the ajax request. So you have to retrieve it using the field name 'id' . Hope you get it.
There are a couple things which you "should" / "could" change. At first I noticed that your ID attribute is "org", Id's are supposed to be unique and yours is not. Though, back to the actual question. You should change your code as follow:
<select required name="org-list" id="org-list" class="form-control">
<option value="">Select</option>
<?php foreach($org as $value): ?>
<option id="<?php echo $value['org_id'];?>" value="<?php echo $value['org_id'];?>"><?php echo $value['org_name']; ?></option>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</select>
Now in your controller you grab the selected ID like: $this->input->post('org-list').
You have to provide value for each id attr. for corresponding <option>
<select required name="org-list" id="org-list" class="form-control">
<option value="">Select</option>
<?php foreach($org as $value): ?>
<option id="<?php echo $value['org_id'];?>" value="<?php echo $value['org_name'];?>"><?php echo $value['org_name']; ?></option>
<?php endforech; ?>
</select>
Im trying to implement the search feature in my website.
when the search keyword is entered in the textbox, and the category combo is selected, the form will be Posted and the result will be shown on the same page.
what i want is to keep the selected category of the combo by default in the form after posted
For eg., If i select the category 'Automobiles' in the combo and click search, after form submit, the combo should show the automobiles as default selected option. Please help me. Any help will be appreciated
I assume you get categories from database.
you should try:
<?php
$categories = $rows; //array from database
foreach($rows as $row){
if($row['name'] == $_POST['category']){
$isSelected = ' selected="selected"'; // if the option submited in form is as same as this row we add the selected tag
} else {
$isSelected = ''; // else we remove any tag
}
echo "<option value='".$row['id']."'".$isSelected.">".$row['name']."</option>";
}
?>
Assuming that by "combo" you mean "A regular select element rendering as a drop down menu or list box" and not "A combobox that is a combination of a drop down menu and free text input":
When outputting the <option> elements, check the value against the submitted data in $_POST / $_GET and output selected (in HTML) or selected="selected" (in XHTML) as an attribute of the option element.
Here is the JQuery way I am using.
<select name="name" id="name">
<option value="a">a</option>
<option value="b">b</option>
</select>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#name").val("<?php echo $_POST['name'];?>");
</script>
But this is only if you have jquery included in your webpage.

This solved my problem.
This Solved my Problem. Thanks for all those answered
<select name="name" id="name">
<option value="a">a</option>
<option value="b">b</option>
</select>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('name').value = "<?php echo $_GET['name'];?>";
</script>
$countries_uid = $_POST['countries_uid'];
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$uid = $row['uid'];
$country = $row['country_name'];
$isSelected = null;
if(!empty($countries_uid)){
foreach($countries_uid as $country_uid){//cycle through country_uid
if($row['uid'] == $country_uid){
$isSelected = 'selected="selected"'; // if the option submited in form is as same as this row we add the selected
}
}
}else {
$isSelected = ''; // else we remove any tag
}
echo "<option value='".$uid."'".$isSelected.">".$country."</option>";
}
this is my solutions of multiple select dropdown box after modifying Mihai Iorga codes
After trying al this "solves" nothing work. Did some research on w3school before and remember there was explanation of keeping values about radio. But it also works for Select option. See here an example. Just try it out and play with it.
<?php
$example = $_POST["example"];
?>
<form method="post">
<select name="example">
<option <?php if (isset($example) && $example=="a") echo "selected";?>>a</option>
<option <?php if (isset($example) && $example=="b") echo "selected";?>>b</option>
<option <?php if (isset($example) && $example=="c") echo "selected";?>>c</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
Easy solution:
If select box values fetched from DB then to keep selected value after form submit OR form POST
<select name="country" id="country">
<?php $countries = $wpdb->get_results( 'SELECT * FROM countries' ); ?>
<option value="">
<?php if(isset($_POST['country'])){echo htmlentities($_POST['country']); } else { echo "Select Country *"; }?>
</option>
<?php foreach($countries as $country){ ?>
<option <?php echo ($_POST['country'] == $country->country_name ? 'selected="selected"':''); ?> value="<?php echo $country->country_name; ?>"><?php echo $country->country_name; ?>
</option>
<?php } ?>
</select>
