Help with Input Type Hidden

[godrob]

Hi Guys,

 

Appreciate any help here please...

 

Basically I want to hide some inputs on my registration page and populate them will default values.  Everything works okay, apart from the input below:

 

<input type="hidden" name="seek_location" value="Anywhere">

 

When I use the above, the MYSQL database field for seek_location is left empty...

 

I've noticed that the code below pulls the location into a dropdown list.  You know the kind of thing, Australia, UK, USA etc etc:

 

$seek_location = $wcr[$seek_location];

<? $p=0;asort($wcr);reset($wcr);
while (list ($p, $val) = each ($wcr)) {
echo '<option value="'.$p.'">'.$val;
}
?>

 

So, all I want to do is have:

 

<input type="hidden" name="seek_location" value="Anywhere">

 

Populate seek_location with Anywhere

 

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Rob

$seek_location = 'Anywhere';

 

This may simply just drop the whole dynamically created dropdown box and allow Anywhere to pass to the database.  BUT I don't have the entire script your working with to clearly see what's going on so this is just my guess. The only issue I could see is if there are checks to see if $seek_location equals a set value before it's passed to the database.

Hi thanks for your reply.

 

I've tried changing the code as per your suggestion, but I'm afraid it sill doesn't populate the database.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks for your help

I fixed it...

 

The variable was actually looking for a number not a string.  Entering a 0 returned Anywhere

 

Thanks for your help
