I am trying to display all and selected data based on an IF condition. It will either execute all the data from the table or selected data based on category. well at least it is supposed too. I can take out the select * query and it will work but I need to use both. And I want the page to load all the data from the table on reload or load and when someone selects the list box and hits submit it will only display the selected ones on a web page.  Its probably something simple but I cant see why I dont get any results to display.

need help on this

Add this to the top of your pages:

ini_set('display_errors', 1);

error_reporting(E_ALL);

 

This one and the db one

my errors are turned on. the whole page isnt blank just the part where the data needs to be displayed. I still get the list box and text to display.

Well thats not what you said before.

I don't see where you print that variable, but you need to print it only if it's already defined.

I know my mistake.

 

here is my code. can you maybe see where its causing the error Notice: Undefined variable: display_block in C:\www\vhosts\reagan\sqllistbox.php on line 69"

my code half way works when I make this change...

 

if (isset($_POST['submit'])){

delete this //get all data from table
delete this //$sql = "SELECT * from products";
delete this//$result = mysqli_query($mysqli, $sql) or die(mysqli_error($mysqli));

//}else{

 

but it only displays the selected data not all the data on page load or reload . I am trying to get it to do both???
