[SOLVED] pulling value

[dare87]

I have an edit page that I am trying to make pull the default selection but I am a little lost. I know that I need to do a $_GET['level'] but I don't know how/where to do it.

 

Here is what I have.

 

Being passed on the URL

 

http://www.domain.com/team_edit.php?name=Bob%20Dole&title=Team%20Manager&id=10&level=1

 

On the page

 

<tr>
<td>Access Level:</td>
<td>
  <select name="access" class="required">
   <option value="2">Officer</option>
   <option value="1">Manager</option>
   <option value="3">Other</option>
  </select>
</td>
</tr>

<?php

$lvl = $_GET['level'];

 

echo $lvl;

 

?>

 

output:

1

 

 

any help?

[dare87]

not really, but thanks

could you rephrase the question.

 

are you asking how to get a page depending on what is sent through the drop down box?

[dare87]

I have a team_review page that lists everyone from a database. Next to there name is a delete and edit button. When you click edit, this information is passed to the url and it opens the team_edit page.

 

http://www.domain.com/team_edit.php?name=Bob%20Dole&title=Officer&id=12&level=2

 

On the edit page it has fields that can be edited. aka

 

Name

Title

Phone

Email

Leve

 

The Level is a <select> with three options

<option value="2">Officer</option>

<option value="1">Manager</option>

<option value="3">Other</option>

 

What I want it to do is when they/I click edit for it to auto select the option depending on the value... in this case 2... selected

[dare87]

does that make sense?

[Lamez]

kinda, what about a IF statment?

 

if ($lvl == ('1')){

do somthing

}

[dare87]

It didn't like this

 

<?php
echo "<option value=\"2\"";
if($_GET['level'] == 2){echo " selected ";}
echo ">"Officer"</option>";}
else if
if($_GET['level'] == 1){echo " selected ";}
echo ">"Manager"</option>";}
else
if($_GET['level'] == 3){echo " selected ";}
echo ">"Other"</option>";}
?>

why, if it works, then use it.

[dare87]

Try this:

<option value="2">Officer</option>
<option value="1"<?php if($_GET['level'] == '1') echo " selected";?>>Manager</option>
<option value="3"<?php if($_GET['level'] == '3') echo " selected";?>>Other</option>
