Phpfr3ak Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Could anyone point me in the correct direction of how to go about excluding results from a drown down menu, Basically i'm calling everyone who's a contact to the user in the code below, id like to remove contacts who already have a bank account with the user, So basically its something along the lines of if the player_id is already in the table bank_accounts as PlayersID, then its excluded, Hope this makes sense and any help would be great, Thanks <select name="contact1" class="maintablepstats" id="contact1"> <option value=""></option> <?php $sql = "SELECT player_id, contact_id, name, is_active FROM contacts as c JOIN players as p ON c.contact_id = p.id WHERE c.player_id = $playerID AND is_active = 1 ORDER BY name ASC"; $que = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); while($list = mysql_fetch_array($que)) { ?> <option value="<?php echo $list['contact_id'] ?>"><?php echo $list['name'] ?></option> <?php } ?> </select> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/255860-populating-dropdown/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proletarian Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 So out of a list of contacts, you want to select only contacts that meet a specific criteria?

Proletarian Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 SELECT * FROM table WHERE (table.contact = criteria)? I dunno, this looks like an SQL question, not a PHP question.
