emehrkay Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 thorpe's implementation works fine, but you'd have to do that for every entry why not put the countries in an array and loop through the resutls builidng the drop down? $countries = array(); //('AF' => 'Afghanistan' ...); $drop = "<select ...>\n"; foreach($countries as $key => $val){ $sel = (isset($_GET['country']) && $_GET['country'] == "AF") ? " selected='selected' " : ''; $drop .= "<option value=\"". $key ."\" ". $sel .">". $value ."</option>\n"; } $drop .="</select>\n"; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

per1os Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 thorpe: Thanks for the help. I have to do that code for ALL the options? Man that blows, there inst an eaiser way? I think emehrkay posted a nicer solution to that...that sort of automates everything and makes it easier without having to write a ton of code. You just need to convert the countries into an array. Not hard if you take the option code put it into a string and parse it out, you can get the array generated pretty easily: <?php $option_html = "<option value=\"AF\">Afganistan</option>\n<option value=\"Ab\">Albania</option>"; $options = explode("</option>", $option_html) $country = '$countries = array('; foreach ($options as $option) { list($key, $val) = split('">', $option); list(,$key) = split("value=\"", $key); $country .= '"' . $key . '" => "' . $val . '", '; } $country = substr($country, 0, -2); // remove last , $country .= ');'; echo $country; ?> That saves you the hassel of typing.

dough boy Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 He was helping you quickly build an array of counties. Now loop through that array (the result he is echoing to your screen) and loop through it to display and "select" the country desired.

JustinK101 Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Dough boy: $countries inst an array its a string, right? He builds up a string and just echos out the string, but doesnt acutally build an array in php right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dough boy Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Yes, but that was just for display purposes. Copy and paste that "text" starting with $countries = and ending with , "" => ""); and put that into your PHP code. That is the PHP array of countries.

JustinK101 Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Ok, much clearer. I am getting a parse error inside this. syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING <?php foreach($countries as $abv => $full) { $selected = ($abv == 'SELECTED') ? 'selected="selected"' : NULL; echo '<option value="'.$abv.'"'..$selected'>'.$full.'</option>'; } ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinK101 Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Ok got it. The final code is: foreach($countries as $abv => $full) { $selected = ($abv == $_POST['country']) ? 'selected="selected"' : NULL; echo '<option value="'.$abv.'"'.$selected.'>'.$full.'</option>'; } Thank you greatly for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
