CosminStan Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Hello,I have a little problem. This is what I want to achive:I have 2 mysql tables (categories, channels), the channel table has a cat_id in it. I want to update/edit a product and place it in another category but the code that I've made shows just one catedory (id=1) even if the product has a parent id of 5. try { //prepare query $query = "select channel_id, name, category_id from channels where channel_id = ? limit 0,1"; $stmt = $pdo->prepare( $query ); //this is the first question mark $stmt->bindParam(1, $_REQUEST['id']); //execute our query $stmt->execute(); //store retrieved row to a variable $row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); //values to fill up our form $channel_id = $row['channel_id']; $name = $row['name']; $category_id = $row['category_id']; }catch(PDOException $exception){ //to handle error echo "Error: " . $exception->getMessage(); } $query2 = "SELECT * FROM categories"; $stmt2 = $pdo->prepare( $query2 ); $stmt2->execute(); $results = $stmt2->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); ?> <!--we have our html form here where new user information will be entered--> <form action='#' method='post' border='0'> <table> <tr> <td>Channel Name</td> <td><input type='text' name='name' value='<?php echo $name; ?>' /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Category</td> <td> <?php foreach($results as $rows) {?> <select name="fileselect"> <option name='cat_id' value=" <?php echo $rows['category_id']; ?>"> <?php echo $rows['name']; ?></option> <!-- <input type='text' name='category_id' value='<?php //echo $category_id; ?>' /> --> <?php } ?> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td> <!-- so that we could identify what record is to be updated --> <input type='hidden' name='channel_id' value='<?php echo $channel_id ?>' /> <!-- we will set the action to edit --> <input type='hidden' name='action' value='update' /> <input type='submit' value='Edit' /> </td> </tr> </table> </form> The update parte is ommited as it works if there is no dropdown, just a plain text input.
