RE: [PHP] Customize link
If your options are dynamically created you could check the value passed
against each option are mark the match with SELECTED;
Example Static:
Echo option value='5'; If(isset($_GET['cat_id']) $_GET['cat_id'] ==
5){ echo ' SELECETED ';} echo 5/option.PHP_EOL;
Example Dynamic
for($a=1, $a = 15; $a++)
{
Echo option value='.$a.' ; If(isset($_GET['cat_id']) $_GET['cat_id']
== $a){ echo ' SELECETED ';} echo .$a./option.PHP_EOL;
}
Just a though

is a drop down with a list of categories which have id's - am using
wordpress ) iii. upload file field
now what i want to do is to be able to customize a link like
http://www.mysite.com/addfilecat_id=5
so that when i access the link it has one of the categories in the
drop down selected..reason is i dont want users to see the
different types of categories
So i guess my question is how to configure a meu item in a drop down
to be automatically selected in a link...

Re: [PHP] Customize link
Dan,
thanks for the reply.this is the code that shows/lists the
categories
?php
$cats = $download_taxonomies-
get_parent_cats();
if (!empty($cats)) {
foreach ( $cats as $c ) {
echo 'lilabel for=category_'.
$c-id.'input type=checkbox name=category_'.$c-id.'
id=category_'.$c-id.' ';
if (isset($_POST['category_'.$c-id])) echo
'checked=checked';
echo ' /
'.$c-id.' - '.$c-name.'/label';
// Do Children
if (!function_exists('cat_form_output_children')) {
function cat_form_output_children($child) {
global $download_taxonomies;
if ($child) {
echo 'lilabel for=category_'.$child-id.'input
type=checkbox name=category_'.$child-id.' id=category_'.$child-
id.' ';
if (isset($_POST['category_'.$child-id])) echo
'checked=checked';
echo ' / '.$child-id.' - '.$child-name.'/label';
echo 'ul class=children';
$download_taxonomies-
do_something_to_cat_children($child-id, 'cat_form_output_children',
'cat_form_output_no_children');
echo '/ul';
echo '/li';
}
}
function cat_form_output_no_children() {
echo 'li/li';
}
}
echo 'ul
class=children';
$download_taxonomies-do_something_to_cat_children($c-id,
'cat_form_output_children', 'cat_form_output_no_children');
echo
'/ul';
echo
'/li';
}
}
?
i can see the categories ids and i just want to get a custom link for
each category and essentially hide this section from my memebers
Thanks

you need to make the following check look at $_GET instead of $_POST. Or, I
hate to suggest it, you can use $_REQUEST. It includes $_GET, $_POST, and
others all in one variable.
if (isset($_POST['category_'.$c-id])) echo 'checked=checked';
