RE: [PHP] Drop down Menu
This is a function I made which covers my needs. May be of some help for
you. This is a "select" box but I'm sure you can modify it for a combo box.
$form_fiel_name is the name you want the box to have in your web form.
$table is the table from you want to retrieve the information
$field is the specific field from the table
$kind could be simple or multiple
function show_list_field($form_field_name, $table, $field, $kind)
{
$list_result = "";
$list_result .= "";
$query = "select $field from $table";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die($mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$list_result .= "".htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($row["$field"]))."";
}
$list_result .= "";
return $list_result;
}
Hope it helps

RE: [PHP] Drop down Menu
<> Well, to start you off, the select would have to be this: SELECT salesman FROM salesman_database; (You may have to check out a MySQL site for some specifics, such as what other information do you need than the name--number? Department?--and are there any filters you need--some have left?). For the rest of it (as in how do you make your results into a dropdown list) that's not a PHP question. You can spit it out by doing a mysql_query/fetch_mysql_row combo, but that will be a straight HTML list. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Drop Down Menu
You need to do something like this: With a little PHP work you can make the menu content and url links data driven.

Re: [PHP] drop-down menu variables
You should all check out libHTMLForm at http://www.nirvani.net/software - it has all sorts of functions for writing HTML forms easily and painlessly. I use it all the time now (shameless plug - my roommate wrote it a while back). --Joe On Fri, Apr 06, 2001 at 02:35:11AM +0200, Richard wrote: > You must set: > > some text > > > if it's a SELECT list.

Re: [PHP] drop-down menu variables
You must set: some text if it's a SELECT list. Use to set an initialized text. Use .VALUE to check if it's empty or not... But beware, sometimes it forgets the contents...
