wmguk Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 i'm not sure what your asking.. Sorry, basically I mean i need to make <?php echo $row['descr'];?> give the result of <?php echo $row['descr'+'type'];?> so the result is 8 x 6 - Colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTechie Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 you still lost me <?php echo $row['descr'.'type']; ?> <?php $avar = "descrtype"; echo $row[$avar]; ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmguk Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 ok, urm, at the moment the description says "8 x 6" and I have added a drop down box called "type" with the options of Colour, B&W and Sepia.. so if i select colour, it would need to show "8 x 6 - Colour" so, this <?php echo $row['descr'];?> just shows "8 x 6" and im trying to amend the info to something like 'descr' - 'type' and display "8 x 6 - Colour" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTechie Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 so <?php echo $row['descr'].$row['type'];?> ??? or am i still missing it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmguk Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 the only issue is that doesnt work, that is what i thought it would look like, but the "type" section just isnt shown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTechie Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 you must have a field in the database called type and part of the sql select statement (or use * for all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmguk Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 thats the problem, its not generated from the database, its a select dropdown on the page.... nothing to do with the database, i want to add to the description thats added to the database.

MadTechie Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 i want to add to the description thats added to the database. Huh.. ??? Okay your need to re-explain what your attemping to do.. start from the end.. whats the goal ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmguk Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 sorry, scrub everything said earlier... lets start over. I have a database with 2 rows. 8 x 4 | 8.00 9 x 5 | 9.00 this information is pulled from the product database and displayed on a page. <?php echo $row['descr'];?> <select name="type" class="formnames" id="type" style="color:#999999"> <option selected="selected" value="Colour">Colour</option> <option value="B&W">B & W</option> <option value="Sepia">Sepia</option> </select> <? echo $symbol ;?><?php echo $row['price'];?> (Displaying "8 x 4 XXXX £8.00") the XXXX is the drop down box. what i need to do is make descr become 8 x 4 - Colour - this is then inserted in to a totally different order database....

MadTechie Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 was reading and all was find until this make descr become 8 x 4 - Colour still doesn't make sense! explain with more words! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTechie Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Okay.. just had a thought while making my coffee.. do you mean you wish to append the field descr to the selection thats submitted so the post will be for example "8 x 4 Colour" (thats all i can think of) if so try <?php echo $row['descr'];?> <select name="type" class="formnames" id="type" style="color:#999999"> <option selected="selected" value="<?php echo $row['descr'];?> Colour">Colour</option> <option value="<?php echo $row['descr'];?> B&W">B & W</option> <option value="<?php echo $row['descr'];?> Sepia">Sepia</option> </select> <?php echo $symbol ;?><?php echo $row['price'];?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
