nwduckett Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hi everyone, I have two select boxes on a form one created from contents in a folder and another with 4 options. when i submit the form, the values reset to default how can i get them to stay on the selected choice after submit (save). Here are the two select boxes below: <label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('image1'); ?>"> <?php $path = "/"; //change this if the script is in a different dir that the files you want $show = array( '.jpg', '.gif', '.png' ); //Type of files to show $select = "<select class=\"widefat\" name=\"widget-scr[3][image1]\" value=\"".$instance['image1']."\">"; $dh = @opendir( $path ); while( false !== ( $file = readdir( $dh ) ) ){ $ext=substr($file,-4,4); if(in_array( $ext, $show )){ $select .= "<option value='$file'>$file</option>\n"; } } $select .= "</select>"; closedir( $dh ); echo "$select"; ?> </label> <label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('anchor1'); ?>"> <?php _e('Anchor:'); ?> <select class="widefat" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name('anchor1'); ?>"><option name="1">1</option><option name="2">2</option><option name="3">3</option><option name="4">4</option></select> </label> I am a beginner at php so I will need good instructions.

WebStyles Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 you need to add 'selected' like this: $select .= "<option value='$file' selected>$file</option>\n"; so, basically, when you're looping through and building the dropdown menu, you compare the value with the one that was posted, and add ' selected' if necessary: $select .= '<option value="'.$file.'"; if($_POST['your_var_name'] == $file) $select .= ' selected'; $select .= '>'.$file.'</option>'; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/243729-keep-a-select-box-selected-after-submit/#findComment-1251493 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwduckett Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hi WebStyles, I am a beginner so please bear with me, (note: this script for selecting list of files from a folder and creating a drop down box was taken from a help forum and i have altered it slightly.) Where do i place the if statement in my code also 'your_var_name' what variable do i need to add in here?

WebStyles Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 you place the if statement just like I showed you in my example. your_var_here needs to have the value you put into name="whatever" when you create your <select... box..

WebStyles Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 instead of this: if($_POST['widget-scr[3][image1]'] == $file) $select .= 'selected'; try something like this: if($_POST['widget-scr'][3]['image1'] == $file) $select .= 'selected'; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/243729-keep-a-select-box-selected-after-submit/#findComment-1252501 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwduckett Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 thanks for the super fast reply, that works thanks, after clicking save the file selected stays selected. But on page refresh or when i come back to the page (wordpress widget page) the selected option goes back to the first option in the dropdown box (default). Is there something else i need to add to get it to stay selected on refresh or when i come back?

WebStyles Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 it's being sent through POST, so if you access the page without submitting the form, it will not be present. what you could do to solve that is place it in a session variable, so it will always exist.
