Drop Down List Help

[herghost]

Hi All,

 

I Wondered if anyone can help me with this. I have a contact form on my website, which I want to edit slightly. The form is a pretty standard PHP form, but is displayed form a .tpl page.

 

The PHP page is a follows:

 

 

<?
$page = "help_contact1";
include "header.php";

if(isset($_POST['task'])) { $task = $_POST['task']; } elseif(isset($_GET['task'])) { $task = $_GET['task']; } else { $task = "main"; }


// SET DEFAULTS
$result = "";
$is_error = 0;
$error_message = "";
$success = 0;

// SET DEFAULT EMAIL IF NOT SUBMITTED
if(!isset($_POST['contact_email'])) { $contact_email = $user->user_info[user_email]; } else { $contact_email = $_POST['contact_email']; }

// SEND HELP MESSAGE
if($task == "dosend") {
  $contact_name = $_POST['contact_name'];
  $contact_subject = $_POST['contact_subject'];
  $contact_message = $_POST['contact_message'];

  // MAKE SURE FIELDS ARE NOT BLANK
  if(!is_email_address($contact_email)) {
    $is_error = 1;
    $error_message = $help_contact[18];
  }
  if(str_replace(" ", "", $contact_message) == "") {
    $is_error = 1;
    $error_message = $help_contact[19];
  }
  if(str_replace(" ", "", $contact_name) == "") {
    $is_error = 1;
    $error_message = $help_contact[20];
  }

  // SEND MESSAGE TO SUPERADMIN
  if($is_error == 0) {
    $recepient_query = $database->database_query("SELECT admin_email, admin_name FROM se_admins ORDER BY admin_id LIMIT 1");
    $recepient_info = $database->database_fetch_assoc($recepient_query);

    // COMPOSE SUBJECT
    $subject = "$help_contact[1] $contact_subject";

    // COMPOSE MESSAGE
    $message = "$help_contact[2] $recepient_info[admin_name],\n\n$help_contact[3]\n\n$help_contact[4] $contact_email\n$help_contact[5] $contact_name\n$help_contact[6] $contact_subject\n\n$contact_message";

    // SEND MAIL
    send_helpcontact($recepient_info[admin_email], $contact_email, $subject, $message);

    // SET RESULT
    $result = 'Thank you, your message will be passed onto the relevant model';
    $success = 1;
  }

}

// ASSIGN SMARTY VARIABLES AND INCLUDE FOOTER
$smarty->assign('result', $result);
$smarty->assign('is_error', $is_error);
$smarty->assign('success', $success);
$smarty->assign('error_message', $error_message);
$smarty->assign('contact_name', $contact_name);
$smarty->assign('contact_email', $contact_email);
$smarty->assign('contact_subject', $contact_subject);
$smarty->assign('contact_message', $contact_message);
include "footer.php";
?>

 

 

and the .tpl page:

 

{include file='header.tpl'}
<img src='./images/icons/help48.gif' border='0' class='icon_big'>
<div class='page_header'>{$help_contact11}</div>
<div>{$help_contact12}</div>

<br>

{* SHOW SUCCESS MESSAGE *}
{if $result != ""}
  <br>
  <table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>
  <tr>
  <td class='success'><img src='./images/success.gif' border='0' class='icon'>{$result}</td>
  </tr>
  </table>
{/if}

{* SHOW ERROR MESSAGE *}
{if $is_error == 1}
  <br>
  <table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>
  <tr>
  <td class='error'><img src='./images/error.gif' border='0' class='icon'>{$error_message}</td>
  </tr>
  </table>
{/if}

<br>

{* SHOW FORM IF NOT ALREADY SUBMITTED *}
{if $success == 0}
  <form action='form.php' method='POST'>
  <table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' class='form'>
  <tr>
  <td class='form1'>Your Name</td>
  <td class='form2'><input type='text' class='text' name='contact_name' maxlength='50' size='30' value='{$contact_name}'></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td class='form1'>Your Email</td>
  <td class='form2'><input type='text' class='text' name='contact_email' maxlength='70' size='30' value='{$contact_email}'></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td class='form1'>Models ID</td>
  <td class='form2'><input type='text' class='text' name='contact_subject' maxlength='50' size='30' value='{$contact_subject}'></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td class='form1'>Job Details & Location</td>
  <td class='form2'><textarea name='contact_message' rows='7' cols='60'>{$contact_message}</textarea></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td class='form1'> </td>
  <td class='form2'><input type='submit' class='button' value='Submit'></td>
  </tr>
  </table>
  <input type='hidden' name='task' value='dosend'>
  </form>
{/if}

{include file='footer.tpl'}

 

Want I want, instead of when the page is loaded someone typing the models ID, they can select it from a dropdown list. (the modelsid is the subject field)

 

The usernames are stored in a table se_users in a database se2_ with a field name of user_userid

 

I have tried the below code but it gave me a smarty error

 

<select name="user_userid">
<? 
while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)){ ?>
          <option value="<? echo $row->user_userid; ?>"><? echo $row->user_userid; ?></option>
<? } ?>
</select>

 

Any help would be lovely

 

Thanks

Your $row variable is not an object, it is an array. replace $row->user_userid with $row['user_userid'].

[herghost]

Like this?

 

<select name="user_userid">
<? 
while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)){ ?>
          <option value="<? echo $row->user_userid; ?>"><? echo $row['user_userid'] ?></option>
<? } ?>
</select>

 

It gives me this error:

 

Fatal error: Smarty error: [in help_contact1.tpl line 47]: syntax error: unrecognized tag: ?>  C:\wamp\www\include\smarty\Smarty.class.php on line 1095

[F1Fan]

Yeah, because you're still doing it.

 

<option value="<? echo $row->user_userid; ?>"><? echo $row['user_userid'] ?></option>

 

See it? You have to replace ALL $row->user_userid with $row['user_userid'].

[herghost]

Sorry, posted wrong code:

 

<select name="user_userid">
<? 
while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)){ ?>
          <option value="<? echo $row['user_userid']; ?>"><? echo $row['user_userid']; ?></option>
<? } ?>
</select>

 

getting the error in my other post.

 

Thanks for your help so far

[F1Fan]

Well, it looks like you have a ?> tag misplaced somewhere.

[herghost]

Thanks F1Fan,

 

 

As far as I can see they all match up

 

There was a quote I remember reading on here a while ago, why wont it do what I want it  do to do instead of what I tell it to do!

[CroNiX]

Try changing your short tags "<?" with real php tags "<?php"

 

Never a good idea to use short tags.  Possibly your template parser is ignoring the short tags.

[DarkWater]

Smarty doesn't use php tags.  It uses {php}, but I wouldn't suggest using those anyway.  Use the proper Smarty structures, they're there for a reason.

[herghost]

yeah still stuck thanks for all your help guys, guess I am just trying to change something I don;t know enough about.

 

if anyone would be kind enough to post a code that would work then please do, got to be a good way of learning :0
