Hi All,

 

I want to add data for the time tables. I have created 3 fields namely grade, class and stream which is only relevant for advanced level classes. otherwise the "stream" field should be disabled. In my database the class table and grade tables were already populated with data. But when i am trying to select from the drop down list no classes were get selected. It automatically selected grade "1" every time. I have posted my coding. Can anyone show me where i went wrong?

 

<form  name="form1" id="form1" method="get" action="addTimeTableValidation.php">
<?php
$con=mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db("student_management",$con);
?>
<table width="850" border="1" align="center" bgcolor="#00FFFF">

But still the same thing happens.... :(

 

  • When i selected a particular grade it does not get selected. It is redirected to grade "1".
    No classes were displayed to select.

 

My 2 tables are as follows.

 

class (class_id, class_name, grade_id, stream)

grade (grade_id, grade)

He needs to check the values coming from $_POST['grade_ID'], but the form use GET method. There is  js functions too, but I don't see ajax code...I don't know  :shrug:

Of course, good spotting jazzman1.  Unless you really need GET for some reason, change method to post.
