Selectbox

[comodo]

Hi!

 

I have questionary page where people must select some values but it doesn't remember the selected values when you go back to edit.

 

I select and save but it goes back to

 

I am new in PHP ,sorry

 

Code:

 

 

 

 

<tr>

<td width="100" align="right" class="key"><?php echo JText::_( 'Staatus' ); ?>: </label></td>

<td><select name="proforma" id="proforma">

<?php

 

$Noproforma = " ";

$proforma = " ";

?>

<option> </option>

<option <?php echo $proforma;?> value="NoProforma"><?php echo JText::_('NoProforma');?></option>

<option <?php echo $proforma;?> value="Proforma"><?php echo JText::_('Proforma');?></option>

</select></td>

</tr>

Have you tried spelling "Staatus" (Status) correctly?

[Christian F.]

That has no bearing on the problem, and not a problem at all. staatus is the label, which is showing.

 

The problem at hand is two-sided:

1. The browser does not keep the form details in the history, so when you go back in the history it'll show the form as sent by the server.
   
2. Your users have to go back in the history to edit the details, instead of you adding the user-inputted data into the form and show it anew. Alongside the error message.

create a session variable for your first submission.

 

$selectedvalue = $_SESSION['selectedvalue'];

 

and in the select box you must include a selected="selected" there for the code should be like

 

<option <?php echo $selectedvalue;?> value="<?php $selectedvalue ?>" selected="selected"><?php echo $selectedvalue></option>

<option <?php echo $proforma;?> value="NoProforma"><?php echo JText::_('NoProforma');?></option>
