Re: [PHP] combo box validation
Hi Dave, In general, you can validate this condition with javascript before to send the form, and if some errors exist, the form is not submitted. or validate the conditions in the server side with php.

Make the first item in the select list something like this: option value=0 selected=selected-- select month --/option Then just check for the 0 value in PHP when the form is submitted.

[PHP] combo box
hi :)
i am creating a webpage. i use a combo box to let user
choose which folder they want.
after they choose, it will be saved into the database.
the next time they load this page, it will retrieve
the data from database and appear at the combo box.
i already done that.
but now the problem isthe data that i retrieve
from the database will same with the options in the
combo box.
so, it will become 2 same options. i am afraid this
will confuse the user. so i want to fix it.
if u dont understand what i mean, try look at the
picture coding below:
folder: husband
friend
family
boss
husband
___
this is the code:
select size=1 name=groupMailbox1
option?php echo $row[groupMailbox1]; ?/option
?php
//Open Directory you want to include
//$base='/home/a/mail';
$handel = opendir($base);
//Get contents of the directory
while (false !== ($file =
readdir($handel))) {
if (is_dir($base . / .
$file) ($file !== .) ($file !== ..)) {
list($filename, $ext) =
explode(., $file);
list($main, $sub, $include) =
explode(/, $PHP_SELF);
echo option value=\$file\; //Echo
the file name in a combo box
if ($inc==$file) echo
selected;
echo$file/option\n;
echo $file;
}
}
?
/selectp/p
___
how to make it so that the data that we retrieve from
database, if same with the options we have, we only
need to make that option selected?
thanks :)

That's normally how I do it... I'm not to sure on which values you need to
do the comparison... It depends on what data you are returning from mysql I
think

Re: [PHP] Combo box selected value...
the value is returned in whatever is stored in $nome. So, if $nome=var, then $var
will contain the selected value.

The value is returned in whatever is stored in $nome. So, if $nome=var, then $var
will contain the selected value.
Second, this could not possibly operate the way you want it to, because the
mysql_result() is called TWICE with each line. You want it called only ONCE to
retrieve the value for the VALUE parameter and the value displayed.

[PHP] Combo Box containing field
Hi, Does anyone know how I can create a combo box in my php file that reads the options in from a database field? I can create combo boxes fine containing values that I enter, but I want it to read the values from the database into the drop down box for the user to select. Thanks, Michael.
Re: [PHP] Combo Box containing field
Hi Michael,
Yes I do! Take a look at the code snippet below:
echo "select name=something";
$level2 = $db-execute("select typename from types");
do {
$value=$level2-fields[0];
echo "option value=$value$value/option";
$level2-nextRow();
} while (!$level2-EOF);
$level2-close();
echo "/select";
Just change the query in the 2nd line of the code to the
desired query. You'll see the result ;-)
Best of luck,
Ahmad Anvari da Code Guru
