Small List/menu Problem

Jas0n · February 29, 2008

Hi Guys,

I'm using a listmenu to storage engineers names, however I'm trying to load the engineers name from the database so I can update the record.

	
        echo "Job Details<br>";
echo "<form action=\"\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" name=\"updateAddJob\" id=\"formupdateJob\">"; 
echo "<select name=\"listEngineer\" id=\"listEngineer\">";
echo "<option value=\"Jason\" selected=\"selected\">Jason</option>";
echo "<option value=\"Paul\">Paul</option>";
echo "</select>";

For this particular job 'Paul' is the engineers name stored in the database. How could I select his name instead etc...?

I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to do.

Thanks for the help,

Jas0n

<?php
$query="select * from enginers";
$result=mysql_qurey($query) or die("Error");

while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
?> 
<form action=\"\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" name=\"updateAddJob\" id=\"formupdateJob\">"; 
<select n :(ame=\"listEngineer\" id=\"listEngineer\">
<option value=<?php echo $row["name"];?>"><?php echo $row["name"]?></option>
</select>
<?php
}
?>

might not be the correct version but it will work

[code]
$name=$_POST['listEngineer'];

$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM 'blah'(your table name) WHERE 'Name'(name of colomn where Engineet is named)=$name");

$row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

echo $row['Name'];(name of colomn to select information from)
echo $row['Age'];
echo $row['DOB'];
echo $row['Age'];

/*and so on*/

Then you can use update to update there name with a post get if you want here is an example of what i use.
