Darkmatter5 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I have 2 relevant tables for this code. genres genre_idgenre 1UNKNOWN 2Action 3Role-Play game_genres game_idgenre_id 12 22 33 Now I have 2 instances where I use the genre dropdown list. As a list for searching or a list for forms. Here's the function call I use when I'm needing a search list. <?php $vein->list_genres('list',$_GET['g']); ?> Here's the function call I use when I'm needing a form list. <?php $vein->list_genres(form,''); ?> if the list is on the add form <?php $vein->list_genres(form,$_GET['i']); ?> if the list is on the edit form Now here's my code: <?php function list_genres($type,$default) { include 'library/config.inc.php'; $conn=mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die('Error connecting to mysql'); mysql_select_db($dbname); $query=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM genres ORDER BY genre ASC") or die(mysql_error()); echo "<select name='g' method='post' class='text_boxes'>"; if($type=="list") { echo "<option value='all'>All Games</option>"; } while($row=mysql_fetch_array($query)) { $r1=$row['genre_id']; $r2=$row['genre']; switch($type) { case "list": if($default==$r1) { echo "<option value='$r1' selected='selected'>$r2</option>"; } else { echo "<option value='$r1'>$r2</option>"; } break; case "form": if(empty($default)) { $default=1; } else { $Qgenre_id=mysql_query("SELECT genre_id FROM game_genres WHERE game_id='$default'") or die(mysql_error()); $Dgenre_id=mysql_fetch_array($Qgenre_id); $default=$Dgenre_id['genre_id']; } if($default==$r1) { echo "<option value='$r1' selected='selected'>$r2</option>"; } else { echo "<option value='$r1'>$r2</option>"; } break; } } echo "</select>"; mysql_close($conn); } ?> So the desired end result should be 1. On a search list the dropdown should be a a list of all the genres with "All Games" listed first and if $_GET['g'] is set then select that genre. 2. On the add form the dropdown should be a list of all the genres and default to "UNKOWN". 3. On the edit form the dropdown should be a list of all the genres and default to the specified games genre. The list portion of the switch seems to be working fine, but the form stuff keeps defaulting to another genre besides the games genre or the default UNKNOWN. Clear as mud? Thanks in advance!!
