firstly, how do I set the "money tax" drop down menu so it corresponds with my database...

basically i want it so if($gang['tax'] == 0) then select 0%.... and so on...

 

can anyone help me with this first?

 

[MatthewJ]

you would need to add

 

<?php if($gang['tax'] == 0) { echo 'SELECTED'; } ?>

 

within each option. Changing the == to the right number.

[seany123]

can you do one for me as an example then ill do the rest?

 

so i know how its done?

[MatthewJ]

<option value='0' <?php if($gang['tax'] == 0) { echo 'SELECTED'; } ?>>0%</option>

A simple loop would work well for this:

<select name='tax'>
<?php for($i=0; $i<51; $i++): ?>
<option value='<?php echo $i; ?>'<?php if($i == $gang['tax']) { echo ' selected'; } ?>><?php echo $i; ?>%</option>
<?php endfor; ?>
</select>

<select name='tax'>
<?php for($i=0; $i<51; $i++): ?>
<option value='<?php echo $i; ?>'<?php if($i == $gang['tax']) { echo ' selected'; } ?>><?php echo $i; ?>%</option>
<?php endfor; ?>
</select>

 

Agreed!

thats brilliant... that little code to replace the amount i had

 

now when using php with that would this work??

 

<?php
if ($_POST['update'])
{
if ($_POST['tax'] != $gang['tax'])
{
//UPDATE $GANG['TAX'] QUERY HERE.
}
}
?>
