select var from url if there
in PHP Coding Help
Posted
Hopefully someone can help, I'm new to PHP and it seems like a large knowledge base here.
I have a web site where the user would choose there country and the info in added to the url to a submit page.
And example would be http://www.peb-buildings.com/quote.php?building_country_id=Angola
I need Angola to be inserted as selected as the first option if a country is present. Then if empty the rest of the code pulls up the option of the US then you pick a state and so on. The code is below. Thanks a head of time! Larry
<td class=field-text><select name="building_country_id">
<?php
$query = "select * from countries order by country_name";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$sqlError = mysql_error();
if (!empty($sqlError)) {
logError($sqlError,$query,__LINE__);
}
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
?>
<option value="<?php echo $row['country_id'] ?>"<?php echo ($row['country_id'] == 1000 ? " selected" : "") ?>><?php echo $row['country_name'] ?></option>
<?php
}
?>
</select></td>
