postback situation

gos1 · December 18, 2006

Hi
Does any one know how to keep the values of the list menus same after an error occurs. For example in the birth date fields when an error occurs all th values return to 1/1/1900. I want users value to remain same

Assuming you are posting the page back to itself for validation, you just need to create a loop to add selected to the appropriate option. Would have been helpful if you had posted your code so we could provide a more appropriate example, but here you go:

[code]<?php

$_POST[test1]="March";

$selectList = array ("January","Februrary","March","April","May","June",
"July","August","September","October","November","December");

echo "<select name=\"test1\">\n";
foreach ($selectList as $option) {
echo "<option value=\"$option\"".(($option==$_POST[test1])?" selected":"").">$option</option>\n";
}
echo "</select>\n";
?> [/code]

For standards compliant html, you should change the suggested line from this:

[code=php:0]echo "<option value=\"$option\"".(($option==$_POST[test1])?" selected":"").">$option</option>\n";[/code]

To this:

[code=php:0]echo "<option value=\"$option\"".(($option==$_POST[test1])?" selected='selected'":"").">$option</option>\n";[/code]

sorry but it is a bit long thats why I did not send it in my first post

There's no select list in that code. So your question makes no sense now. You need to have the form post back to itself and do the validation if there are posted values. If the validation fails you can then reset the values accordingly.

oh really sorry I included the form in a variable in another file let me add that too. Sorry for inconvinience.

Well, you just need to follow the example I gave you when you create your form. You can either test each and every option or (highly recommended) put the values in an array and do it programatically.

For example, for your country list you could do this:
[code]<?php

$contactformform = '
.
.
.
<td colspan="2" valign="top"><select name="country">';

$countryList = array (
"Afghanistan", "Albania", "Algeria", "Andorra",
"Angola", "Anguilla", "Antigua & Barbuda",
"Argentina", "Armenia", "Aruba", "Australia",
"Austria", "Azerbaijan", "The Bahamas", "Bahrain",
"Bangladesh", "Barbados", "Belarus", "Belgium",
// Continue
"Vietnam", "Yemen", "Zambia", "Zimbabwe"
);

foreach ($countryList as $country) {
$contactformform .= "<option value=\"$option\"".(($option==$_POST[country])?" selected=\"selected\"":"").">$option</option>\n";
}

$contactformform .= '</select></td>
.
.
.
</form>';';

?>[/code]
