Next step. SELECT WHERE Dropdown menus

CEinNYC · December 4, 2010

Hello!

I have all information, via Get, passing into battle.php correctly.

In the Weapons Drop down, I need the selected weapon to pull from the correct associated number in the database. Do I pass that in the option value for each weapon? (Set a variable for each weapon)? (Whichever character has a higher number wins the battle).

Thanks for any advice, keywords, etc..!

<?php 
    //require 'header.php'; 
    //require 'footer.php'; 
    mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '');  //username and password of database 
    mysql_select_db('giantbattlemonsters') or die( "Unable to select database");  
     
    //Character 
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM game_char ORDER BY display_name ASC"; 
    $results = mysql_query($sql) or die("Query failed with error: ".mysql_error());       // execute the query 
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) 
    { 
    $id[] = $row['id']; 
    $display_name[] = $row['display_name']; 
    } 
     
    //Game Play 
    $command ="SELECT * FROM game_char"; 
    //options = mysql_fiend_name($command); 
         
?>

I've locked your other two topics -- clearly, you're starting a new thread for each incremental change to the same script.

Please keep the discussion in a SINGLE thread.

Also, it's bad form to post an entire script.

Will do.. Thanks.

Will do.. Thanks.

Great.

Now, back to your question -- which code snippet are we talking about/

CEinNYC · December 8, 2010

Thanks for this..

I'm looking to join this information:

<p>

<option value="power">Power</option>

<option value="intelligence">Intelligence</option>

<option value="speed">Speed</option>

<option value="reserve">Reserve</option>

</select>

</p>

with this information:

	$join = "SELECT * FROM game_weapons";
	$weapons_results = mysql_query($join);

		while($row2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($weapons_results))
		{
			if($row2["id"] == $id1)
			{
			$weapon_value1 = $row[$weapon1];
			$name1 = $row2["id"];
			}
			if($row2["id"] == $id2)
			{
			$weapon_value2 = $row[$weapon2];
			$name2 = $row2["id"];
			}

		}

picture of the database attached. Thank you! Perhaps I'm populating the drop down box incorrectly?

I'm not sure I'm clear on what you're trying to do -- you want the IDs as the values/
