inbowns Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I have a select box and I would like to select data click on it and I guess it should reload the page and populate the text boxes i have below with the data from the database. Below is the code so you can have an idea what i'm trying to do. Is this possible and help would be greatly appreciate. Thanks in advance. <html> <head> <meta name="generator" content="PhpED Version 5.9.5 (Build 5989)"> <title> RSVP Administrator</title> <link rel="shortcut icon" href=""> </head> <body> <fieldset> <legend>Events</legend> <table> <tr> <td> Select an address: </td> <td> <SELECT NAME> <option value=' '> <? echo $option1 ?>;</option> </SELECT> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Place of Event: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="location" value="<?php if($option1 == " "){ echo " ";} else{ echo $address_1;} ?>"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Address 1: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="address_1"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Address 2: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="address_2"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> City: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="city"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> State: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="state"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Zip Code: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="zip_code"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Telephone: </td> <td> <input type="text" name="phone"> </td> </tr> </table> </fieldset> </body> </html> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/236249-having-problems-with-selectbox-entry/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougjohnson Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Put this in your SELECT tag: <SELECT NAME="" onChange="this.form.submit()"> Then receive the values with $_POST at the top of the page. Or I may not understand your question? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/236249-having-problems-with-selectbox-entry/#findComment-1214673 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougjohnson Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Or you could use Ajax. Which is cooler but tricker to do. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/236249-having-problems-with-selectbox-entry/#findComment-1214674 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougjohnson Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 ? If you use the [onChange=this.form.submit()] and add the $_POST's to receive the select values, the page will refresh and the text fields will be populated with the matching database values. This isn't what you want? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/236249-having-problems-with-selectbox-entry/#findComment-1214693 Share on other sites More sharing options...
