I have spent absolutely weeks playing around with this but cant get it to work no matter what.

I am trying to change a couple of fields in my php page from a text box to a drop down box.

Fields i am trying to change on my form are:

Php form name ----- Mysql store name

Beds              -----  Bed
Bathroom        -----  Bath
Year              -----  Year
Local Authority-----  Subdiv
Local Hospital  -----  Schoold
Grounds Acres -----  lot_size
Sqfeet          -----  sqft

I store the values of the drop down box in my mysql table

Table structure is as follows:

[code]
CREATE TABLE `categories` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `title` varchar(50) default NULL,
  `description` text,
  `image` varchar(50) default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=23 ;

--
-- Dumping data for table `categories`
--

INSERT INTO `categories` VALUES (14, 'Yes', '-', '');
INSERT INTO `categories` VALUES (15, 'No', '-', '');
[/code]

so in this case you can see I am just trying to use a yes or no value.

I want to store this in my table as a number

I already use the results from the drop down options in another field but cant seem to get this duplicated for my other fields.

my database store structure is as follows

[code]
CREATE TABLE `items` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `cid` int(11) default NULL,
  `scid` int(11) default NULL,
  `mid` int(11) default NULL,
  `title` varchar(50) default NULL,
  `price` double default NULL,
  `special_price` double default NULL,
  `pdate` datetime default NULL,
  `sold` varchar(4) default NULL,
  `description` text,
  `address` varchar(50) default NULL,
  `city` varchar(45) default NULL,
  `state` varchar(45) default NULL,
  `zip` varchar(50) default NULL,
  `exp` int(11) default NULL,
  `featured` varchar(4) default NULL,
  `active` varchar(5) default NULL,
  `hits` int(11) default NULL,
  `bed` int(11) default NULL,
  `bath` int(11) default NULL,
  `subdiv` int(11) default NULL,
  `schoold` int(11) default NULL,
  `year` int(11) default NULL,
  `lot_size` int(11) default NULL,
  `sqft` int(11) default NULL,
  `lat` varchar(40) default NULL,
  `long` varchar(40) default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=13 ;
[/code]

I want my php code to be able to update the database using only yes or no values from my categories field…

I aint reading all that code cos its too late for me

to make a drop down box from a database
<?php
echo "<select name='mydropdown'>\n"
."<option>Default Option</option>\n";
$query = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE whatever = 'something'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
echo "<option>".$row["filedname"]."</option>\n";
}
echo "</select>\n";
?>

ok i stripped the code right down thought it would be easier if people could see the whole picture

I have spent absolutely weeks playing around with this but cant get it to work no matter what.

I am trying to change a couple of fields in my php page from a text box to a drop down box.

Fields i am trying to change on my form are:

Php form name ----- Mysql store name

Beds              -----  Bed
Bathroom        -----  Bath

I store the values of the drop down box in my mysql table

Table structure is as follows:

[code]
CREATE TABLE `categories` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `title` varchar(50) default NULL,
  `description` text,
  `image` varchar(50) default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=23 ;

--
-- Dumping data for table `categories`
--

INSERT INTO `categories` VALUES (14, 'Yes', '-', '');
INSERT INTO `categories` VALUES (15, 'No', '-', '');
[/code]

so in this case you can see I am just trying to use a yes or no value.

I want to store this in my table as a number

I already use the results from the drop down options in another field but cant seem to get this duplicated for my other fields.

my database store structure is as follows

[code]

  `bed` int(11) default NULL,
  `bath` int(11) default NULL,

[/code]

I want my php code to be able to update the database using only yes or no values from my categories field…

[code=php:0]
  $updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE items SET `long`=%s, `lat`=%s, cid=%s, title=%s, price=%s, special_price=%s, description=%s, address=%s, city=%s, `state`=%s, zip=%s, bed=".GetSQLValueString($_REQUEST['bed'],"text").", bath=".GetSQLValueString($_REQUEST['bath'],"text").", subdiv=".GetSQLValueString($_REQUEST['subdiv'],"text").", schoold = ".GetSQLValueString($_REQUEST['schoold'],"text").", year = ".GetSQLValueString($_REQUEST['year'],"int").", lot_size = ".GetSQLValueString($_REQUEST['lot_size'],"double").", sqft = ".GetSQLValueString($_REQUEST['sqft'],"double")." WHERE id=".GetSQLValueString($_REQUEST['id'],"int")."",
                      GetSQLValueString($address['long'], "text"),
                      GetSQLValueString($address['lat'], "text"),
                      GetSQLValueString($_POST['cat'], "int"),
                      GetSQLValueString($_POST['title'], "text"),
                      GetSQLValueString($_POST['price'], "double"),
                      GetSQLValueString($_POST['special_price'], "double"),
                      GetSQLValueString($_POST['description'], "text"),
                      GetSQLValueString($_POST['address'], "text"),
                      GetSQLValueString($_POST['city'], "text"),
                      GetSQLValueString($_POST['state'], "text"),
                      GetSQLValueString($_POST['zip'], "text"),
                      GetSQLValueString($_POST['id'], "int")
  );
[/code]

and further down my code is this

[code=php:0]
  <tr>
    <td class="colText">Bed(s)</td>
    <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="rowText"><input name="bed" type="text" id="bed" value="<?php echo $row_item['bed']; ?>" size="15"></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td class="colText">Bathroom(s)</td>
    <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="rowText"><input name="bath" type="text" id="bath" value="<?php echo $row_item['bath']; ?>" size="15"></td>
  </tr>
[/code]

i believe this bit is the code that i need to be using to use for the drop down box.

[code=php:0]
    <td class="colText">Category</td>
    <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><select name="cat" id="cat">
      <?php
do {
?>
      <option value="<?php echo $row_cat['id']?>"<?php if (!(strcmp($row_cat['id'], $row_item['cid']))) {echo "SELECTED";} ?>><?php echo $row_cat['title']?></option>
      <?php } while ($row_cat = mysql_fetch_assoc($cat));
  $rows = mysql_num_rows($cat);
  if($rows > 0) {
      mysql_data_seek($cat, 0);
  $row_cat = mysql_fetch_assoc($cat);
  }
?>
[/code]

Please help this is driving me insane, i have cut out all the rubbish from the code, and only left in the bits that refer to the section i am trying to change.
