Lee_Jones 0 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I have a column in my db called 'Sold' which is set to Binary. I need a dropdown in my form, that converst the binary into 'True', 'False' for the options, and also selects the one that is set in the db. This is for an edit form, so will then need to adapt it for a add form. This is my code, which doesnt seem to be working <?php $id = $_GET["id"]; $sqlSold = "SELECT Sold FROM Products WHERE idProducts = $id;"; $products = [ 'True' => true, 'False' => false ]; ?> <select name="Sold"> <option selected="selected">Choose one</option> <?php foreach($products as $item){ echo "<option value='strtolower($item)'>$item</option>"; } ?> </select> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barand 1,650 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 You don't execute any queries and you don't have anything in your query string that references the 'sold' column. Nor do have a form or any form submission. So what are you expecting it to do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lee_Jones 0 Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 At this point i just want to create the dropdown, it sits inside a form, I have just posted this bit. Sorry if its a bit vague. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barand 1,650 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 What RDBMS are you using? (If it's MySQL, boolean is stored as tinyint) Try $products = [ 'True' => 1, 'False' => 0 ]; then foreach($products as $txt => $val){ echo "<option value='$val'>$txt</option>"; } Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lee_Jones 0 Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Thanks Barand, Sorry its so basic, Im just starting out with PHP. To get the option to be selected accordign to the db value, i a trying the code below,and its not quite working. <?php $id = $_GET["id"]; $sqlSold = "SELECT Sold FROM Products WHERE idProducts = $id;"; $products = [ 'True' => 1, 'False' => 0 ]; ?> <select name="Sold"> <option selected="selected">Choose one</option> <?php foreach($products as $item => $val){ echo "<option value='strtolower($item)' if($val == $products ? 'selected=selected' : ''')>$item</option>"; } ?> </select> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barand 1,650 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) Perhaps <?php $res = $pdo->prepare("SELECT Sold FROM Products WHERE idProducts = ?"); $res->execute([ $_GET["id"] ]); $sqlSold = $res->fetchColumn(); function productOptions($current) { $products = [ 'True' => 1, 'False' => 0 ]; $opts .= ''; foreach ($products as $txt => $val) { $sel = $val==$current ? 'selected' : ''; $opts .= "<option value='$val' $sel>$txt</option>"; } return $opts; } ?> <html> <body> <select name="Sold"> <option selected="selected">Choose one</option> <?= productOptions($sqlSold)?> </select> </body> </html> Edited March 8 by Barand Quote Link to post Share on other sites
