[SOLVED] Select Box

[Daney11]

Hey guys,

 

Im using

 

<?php 
echo '<select name="member_nation">';
echo '<option value="NoNation" selected="selected">Please Select...</option>';
foreach ($location as $key => $value) { echo "<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>\n"; 
} 
echo '</select>';
?>

 

and it works perfect. Now im not at all sure how to make it so when they select a $value, the image comes up at the side

 

<?php 
echo '<select name="member_nation">';
echo '<option value="NoNation" selected="selected">Please Select...</option>';
foreach ($location as $key => $value) { echo "<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>\n"; 
} 
echo '</select>';
?>
<img src="flags/<?php echo $member_nation ?>">

 

So that everytime a value is selected the image changes with it....

 

Anyone know how to do this?

 

Thanks

well that will be done by javascript you'll have to use the onchange event of a select box

 

try this not sure it will work as I have not tested it

 

<?php 
echo "<select name=\"member_nation\" onChange=\"document.getElementById('flag').src = this[this.selectedIndex].value\">";
echo '<option value="NoNation" selected="selected">Please Select...</option>';
foreach ($location as $key => $value) { echo "<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>\n"; 
} 
echo '</select>';
?>
<img id='flag' src="flags/<?php echo $member_nation ?>">

Nope, that doesnt work mate. However i refreshes when selected.

 

Actually it does work. but doesnt do the extention .gif even though its there

[Daney11]

Even if i add .gif at the end it doesnt work.

 

and it gives me

 

http://localhost/ai

 

not /flags and .gif

[rajivgonsalves]

Is it the $key or the $value which is the gif image ?

[Daney11]

$key

I see try this code

 

<?php 
echo "<select name=\"member_nation\" onChange=\"document.getElementById('flag').src = 'flags/'+this[this.selectedIndex].value+'.gif';\">";
echo '<option value="NoNation" selected="selected">Please Select...</option>';
foreach ($location as $key => $value) { echo "<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>\n"; 
} 
echo '</select>';
?>
<img id='flag' src="flags/<?php echo $member_nation ?>">
