Meaning: you want the select box to show as a default value a blank line but
have the remaining data items from the db still in the drop-down list? Then
you want to use the selected attribute on a blank line. Plenty of examples
available.

Ouch! Gnarly mix of logic and markup. I suggest something more like:

$selected

.$day

You messed up. :-)
$d == $selDay would be the correct expression in the middle of that.
My personal choice is:
$last_day = 31; //calculated from date()/mktime() etc
for ($day = 1; $day = $last_day; $day++){
$selected = $chosen_day == $ ? 'selected=selected' : '';
echo option $selected$day/option\n;

I don't *think* the w3c requires/recommends a value= in there, if the
label *IS* the value, but can live with it either way...
echo option value=\$day\ $selected$day/option\n;
is fine.
I used to be distracted by \ but I've grown so used to it that it no
longer bothers me in my reading flow, unless it's excessive and the
expression spans multiple lines.
Separation of logic and presentation is all very well, but this isn't
even business logic. It's presentation logic which, to me,
shouldn't be crammed into the complex business portion of my
application.
I'd much rather have the complex business logic focus on the
application needs than the minutae of date formatting.
It's all down to personal choice, though.

From the XHTML standard:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html/#diffs
We read the following:
XML does not support attribute minimization. Attribute-value pairs
must be written in full. Attribute names such as compact and checked
cannot occur in elements without their value being specified.
CORRECT: unminimized attributes
dl compact=compact
INCORRECT: minimized attributes
dl compact
So even if you aren't using XHTML yet, it's wise to get into the practice.

Ouch! Gnarly mix of logic and markup. I suggest something more like:
foreach (range(1, 31) as $day)
{
$sSelected = ($selected_day_of_month == $day) ? '
selected=selected' : '';
print hdDay
option value=$day$sSelected$day/option
hdDay;

Ewww, I'll take Stut's style anyday. Heredoc has its uses, but I
wouldn't consider your above usage one of them :/ Now to add my own
flavour...
?php
for( $day = 1; $day = 31; $day++ )
{
$selected
= $selected_day_of_month == $day
? ' selected=selected'
: '';
echo 'option value='.$day.''.$selected.''
.$day
.'/option';
}
?
Cheers,
Rob.

Re: [PHP] Option value
Is it possible to extract the value option which item name selected..for example i am having list of soap brand in the options..is it possible that to tell that the user seleced this brand of soap while in the submittion of the form..can any one please tell me how to do this.. Umm...that's what PHP does, isn't it? form method=GET select name=soap option value=DoveDove/option option value=ZestZest/option /select input type=submit /form When that form is submitted, you'll have a variable $_GET['soap'] that'll be equal to either Zest or Dove, depending on what the user chose. Maybe you are missing the value= in your option tags? ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] option block
Jeremy:
Have you tried echoing your $sql variable to ensure it has in it what
you expect? In other words, does $PHP_AUTH_USER have the value you need
it to have?
hth
Happy programming!

Subject: [PHP] option block
Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with my option block...
I'm trying to
pass the value of uid to the next page. I always get the last
uid value in
table user. How can I change this so I get to pass the value
of the user's
choice?
$sql = SELECT user.uid, user.first_name, user.last_name
FROM user, company
Where company.uid = user.companyUid and company.company
= '$PHP_AUTH_USER'
ORDER BY last_name
;
$result = @mysql_query($sql,$connection) or die(Couldn't
execute query.);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$uid = $row['uid'];
$first_name = $row['first_name'];
$last_name = $row['last_name'];
$option_block .= option value=\$uid\$last_name,
$first_name/option;
}
$display_block =
FORM METHOD=\post\ ACTION=\show_moduser.php\
PstrongUser:/strong
select name=\uid\
$option_block
/select
INPUT TYPE=\SUBMIT\ NAME=\submit\ VALUE=\Select this User\/P
/form
;

That's an, er, interesting script. But it's not going ever to do what I
think you expect it to.
You need to use while to loop through the rows returned by your SQL
query, and for each iteration in the while loop, print the values you
need. Also, if you use extract, you can directly access variables that
have the same names as the rows in your table, so you don't have to refer
to array elements.
Frinstance, if you are fetching fields named value and label for this
exercise, something like:
echo 'FORMSELECT';
while ($array = mysql_fetch_array($mysql_result)) {
extract($array);
echo 'OPTION VALUE=' . $value . '' . $label . '/OPTION';
}
echo '/SELECT/FORM';
Of course, you'll need to put some more info in your FORM tag and add
submit buttons and so forth.
