[PHP-DB] Re: Associated popup menu (php/mysql)
Actually, there is a way to do this with PHP. It may not be the best method, but it is possible. You could do it with one single source file, or multiple. With a single source file you could do something like this: The first time through would display the first popup with valid choices. Form action would post the results of the popup to the same page. Now you have a variable with a value from the first popup. You can then display your second popup choices based on the first. And so on for any remaining popups. With multiple source files: The first page displays the first popup. Form action would post the results to the next page. As with the first method, you now have a variable with a value from the first popup. Display your second popup choices based on the first. And so on... Pro: You don't need to learn Javascript. Con: The web page is redrawn for each new popup selection - not seamless like a pure Javascript solution may be. Using multiple source files may help you keep load time down as well as make it easier to maintain. It's a matter of personal choice, I think. If you don't program Javascript, this is one method you may consider - though I would encourage anyone writing web pages to learn Javascript. It can be a real lifesaver! :-) With either method (PHP or Javascript), you'll probably want to code in some way for the user to go back and re-select the first popup, i.e. start over. Sorry, I don't have sample code. I haven't had a need for this type of popups yet, but I have a project coming up soon that probably will. If I get a chance to code up a sample, I'll make it available. Good luck. :Mike S. :Austin TX On Thu February 5 2004 7:33pm, Micah Stevens wrote: > > Javascript is client side programming, PHP is server side and unable to > control actions and make decisions on what's happening in the browser > except in a 'third person' manner. > > Simply put, you can't do this with PHP. > > On Thu February 5 2004 5:21 pm, alb_shop wrote: >> Hello all, >> >> I've been searching for hours and cannot find the answer or sample in >> in any forum. >> >> What is the best method (any sample or help would be appreciated), to >> associate popup menus in a form.

Re: [PHP-DB] Associated popup menu (php/mysql)
Javascript is client side programming, PHP is server side and unable to control actions and make decisions on what's happening in the browser except in a 'third person' manner. Simply put, you can't do this with PHP.

[PHP-DB] Associated popup menu (php/mysql)
Hello all, I've been searching for hours and cannot find the answer or sample in in any forum. What is the best method (any sample or help would be appreciated), to associate popup menus in a form. Choosing the first popup menu (Main categorie) should provide to me the results for the second popup menu (subcategory). Ie : Countries --> states I know that javascript can do this sort of things, but I would like to use only php. Is that possible ? I have two tables in mysql: Countries & states that can be associated by id_country. Thank you -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP-DB] PHP Standalone? (fwd)
Hi there, Unfortunately I don't know much Perl at all ATM, and I've suddenly has this job arise that needs me use an ACCESS Database (Yuck) but in a windows-style interface and NOT web, so I have been looking hard to try to find information on whether I can create an interface for 2000/XP that can control and receive results from PHP. If you have any tips I would be really appreciative :-) I just download PHP-GTK.
