PHP: Dynamic Menu/List

I have a database that has a bunch of locations and I have
created a page using PHP that has a Dynamic Menu/list that pulls
the locations. Users have the option to select a location and
perform a search returning information. My problem is, I want to
create an option "Search All Locations." I have tried every special
character that I can think of and all results bring back nothing. I
am using Dreamweaver 8. I have pasted some of my code below:
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="get"
action="resultslocations.php">
<label></label>
<p>
<label>
<select name="neighborhood_list"
id="neighborhood_list">
<option value=""%"">Search by
Neighborhood</option>
<?php
do {
?>
<option value="<?php echo
$row_Location['Location']?>"><?php echo
$row_Location['Location']?></option>
<?php
} while ($row_Location = mysql_fetch_assoc($Location));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($Location);
if($rows > 0) {
mysql_data_seek($Location, 0);
$row_Location = mysql_fetch_assoc($Location);
?>
</select>
</label>
</p>
<p>
<label>
<input name="neighborhood_submit" type="submit"
id="neighborhood_submit" value="Submit" />
</label></p>
</form>

Here's the code again, it seems it was cut off.
<?php
require_once('../../Connections/ResturantsDatabase.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType,
$theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
$theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue)
: $theValue;
$theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ?
mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) :
mysql_escape_string($theValue);
switch ($theType) {
case "text":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" :
"NULL";
break;
case "long":
case "int":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
break;
case "double":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) .
"'" : "NULL";
break;
case "date":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" :
"NULL";
break;
case "defined":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue :
$theNotDefinedValue;
break;
return $theValue;
mysql_select_db($database_ResturantsDatabase,
$ResturantsDatabase);
$query_Location = "SELECT Location FROM Locations ORDER BY
Location ASC";
$query_LocationFindAll = "Select * FROM Locations ORDER by
Location ASC";
$resultalllocations=mysql_query($query_LocationFindAll);
$Location = mysql_query($query_Location, $ResturantsDatabase)
or die(mysql_error());
$row_Location = mysql_fetch_assoc($Location);
$totalRows_Location = mysql_num_rows($Location);
mysql_select_db($database_ResturantsDatabase,
$ResturantsDatabase);
$query_Cuisine = "SELECT * FROM Cuisine ORDER BY Cuisine
ASC";
$Cuisine = mysql_query($query_Cuisine, $ResturantsDatabase)
or die(mysql_error());
$row_Cuisine = mysql_fetch_assoc($Cuisine);
$totalRows_Cuisine = mysql_num_rows($Cuisine);

Re-clarify--Urgent -- Can Apex create a dynamic menu list from table?

Hi All,
I am asked to investigate the possibility of using APEX to create a table data driven drop down menu, which means the menu list is dynimically generated from what is in the table. Eg. if there are 3 rows in the table, then the application will generate 3 list, if I add a row, then user will see 4 lists next time when the page is refreshed.
Such menu list will need to be a home page, which means it is the first page to be called in the URL. If such function needs to be implemented in PL/SQL procedure, can the procedure be called in Apex's URL?
The deadline is tomorrow and I have spent quite a bit of time but still have not had any clue. Could any one have such experience to point me a way to focus on please? Many thanks.

Creating dynamic nemu list

hi ,
I had created dynamic menu tabs and menu bars. but not able to create a mmenulist from it. can anyone send me the link where there is creation of dynamic menu list?

OK I got it working... Mostly... I don't know if it was a combination of changes that made the difference, but I'll put down what I did. First, I switched my select object in the form bean into just a string type from a string array (it was allowing the selection of one entry anyways). Second, rather than just blanking out the options map, I also blanked out the select object [eg form.setSelect("")].
Now when I select an entry and click delete, the resulting select list is short one visible element. However, you can still select the blank spot where that last entry used to be. However, this is not a huge issue for me now; I will investigate this at a later time.

Dynamic Form list/menu

I'm trying to insert a dynamicly generated form list/menu dropdown item.
Everything works but the list always shows me the last record from the database as the first item in the list (ASC or DESC).
I want to put a dummy label as the first item in the list like: Select from list
How can i do this, because even if i put a static value in the value list items, it still shows the last item from the recordset first instead of the static value.
Does anybody have an idea how i can create a dynamic pulldown list in my form with the first item listed to be a statich dummy tekst or label like "Select from list etc"
Thanks,

I created a normal recordset with Dreamweaver getting tea
m_id and team_names out of the database. Then i list the teamnames in a form list/
menu (dropdown) to show all the available teams. Again it shows me the last record from the
recordset as the first list item and i want a standard "select this" text or something default.
The form code below is generated by dreamweaver itself. I already tried to also put one static value in the value list property but i get the same result. To me it looks like the while loop is overriding whatever you put as static text.
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
<label for="list_teams">Teams:</label>
<select name="list_teams" id="list_teams">
    <?php
do {
?>
    <option value="<?php echo $row_Teams['team_id']?>"<?php if (!(strcmp($row_Teams['team_id'], $row_Teams['team_id']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_Teams['team_name']?></option>
    <?php
} while ($row_Teams = mysql_fetch_assoc($Teams));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($Teams);
if($rows > 0) {
      mysql_data_seek($Teams, 0);
   $row_Teams = mysql_fetch_assoc($Teams);
?>
</select>
</form>

PHP dynamic content for form list field on tabbed panel

I have been trying to use PHP dynamic content to populate a
form list field. Works fine on a regular page, but doesn't seem to
work (or works very erratically) if the form is on a tab of a Spry
tabbed panel. Erratically means (as I've observed) the values will
appear if the list field is the second on a tab but not the first.
Haven't tried three on a tab... Anyone know if this is supposed to
work?

Thank You !!! to both of you above.
Shant,
The scheme youv'e proposed makes sense and I had thought of the same before posting the question. I already did a little POC on it but then realised this works if I can use complete list of values of 1st Field to decide the value of 2nd and so forth. But I rather need to know which one among those was clicked. Moreover, my right side list is usually not null when page loads for the first time (bcoz Field name is a path exp).
Also, the real problem here is that, when I click on different values on the right side of multi-select(already selected values) of 1st Field, allowedValues and Derivation of 2nd should change. That GUI event is not capturable from whatever I've been able to read (onClick is not applicable for MultiSelect, and onChange doesn't serve my purpose, coz I need to know what value was clicked on).
The solution I thought and implemented was to take the right side of multi-select, into an extra (read redundant), single-select Field. And then have the 2nd multi-select depend on it via Derivation and allowedValues.
Having two redundant single-selects, isn't the most elegant solution but I can't think of anything better. Any thoughts ???
If I'm not really overlooking something MultiSelect class should have an extra Property exposed....

Dynamic select list crashes with php

HI All,
I can't seem to get a dynamic select list to work in
dreamweaver. It completly crashes everytime I try adding it to my
page. I found someone else in the forum who had the same problem
but no one ever responded. I've tried several things including
putting just the record set and dynamic select on it's own page
with no other code on it. It still crashes DW. I also tried coding
it myself by making a listmenu and modifying it so that the option
value equals a PHP echo of a value. It crashed there too. Does
anyone have a piece of code with a working dynamic select list that
uses a record set that I could look at? That way I can see where
I'm going wrong. All I'm trying to do is get a simple drop down
select list of employee names so someone can choose their name to
get commission. It's a one table, 2 fields (first & last name)
record set.
Using DW CS3, php & MySQL.,windows XP Pro
Any help would be really appreciated!

Using a Menu List to dynamically set text

Hi,
I want to create a menu list and depending on the selected
element in the list, set some related text in a variety of
different text fields. I've been looking at the various behaviours
available on a menu list and I've noticed the attribute
spry:selected as well both of which look relevant.
I've been trawling the web to find some guidance but so far
haven't found much. I guess I'm looking for some general guidance
on best practice for achieving this. If anyone can point me in a
good direction that would be great.
Wisdom greatfully received.
Chris

Let's see your form. Tell us what you are trying to set and
which field you
are trying to affect.

Multiple Menu List Selection question.

In a form I have a multiple select list that's populated dynamically from a table, e.g. label = full name, value = name_id. I need to be able to insert both label and value into another table. Normally, selecting a label will insert the value, but what technique (short example, please) can I use to extract the label itself as well as it's value from the list?
Thanks!

Advanced Searching - Multiple Menu/List/Radio Button Criteria

Hi All,
I am looking for a dreamweaver and/or PHP/MySQL tutorial
and/or extension and/or tool that can walk me through creating an
advanced search page. For example, I have multiple search criteria
which allow users to select various criteria:
Menu/list #1 (Allows multiple)
Option 1, 2, 3…25
Menu/list #2 (Allows multiple)
Option 1, 2, 3…50
Menu/list #3 (Allows multiple)
Option 1, 2, 3…10
Radio button (allows user to select the way the information
is displayed)
By Date
By State
By Score
By whatever…
Drop down (allows user to select how many records to display)
View 25
View 50
View 75
View 100
View ALL
Any comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I consider myself a step above the beginner level - could
consider myself an intermediate user of Dreamweaver, PHP/MySQL so
please be gentle

Dynamic select list: link to another page

Hi
Have following dynamic select list at the bottom in "product.php" page (www.dolls.com.sg)
<div id="selectcat">
<select name="Categories">
    <?php
do {
?>
    <option value="<?php echo $row_rsCategories['categoryName']?>"<?php if (!(strcmp($row_rsCategories['categoryName'], $row_rsCategories['categoryName']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_rsCategories['categoryName']?></option>
    <?php
} while ($row_rsCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($rsCategories);
if($rows > 0) {
      mysql_data_seek($rsCategories, 0);
   $row_rsCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories);
?>
</select>
My target is, whenever a visitor clicks on a category in the pull down menu, he is forwarded to the respective "categories.php" page.
How can I do that?
Thanks
Helmut

Change your code to this:
<div id="selectcat">
<form method="get" action="categories.php">
<select name="Categories">
    <?php
do {
?>
    <option value="<?php echo $row_rsCategories['categoryName']?>">
    <?php echo $row_rsCategories['categoryName']?></option>
    <?php
} while ($row_rsCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($rsCategories);
if($rows > 0) {
      mysql_data_seek($rsCategories, 0);
   $row_rsCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories);
?>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="View Dolls">
</form>
</div>
In categories.php, use $_GET['Categories'] to filter the recordset.

Menu/List Dreamweaver

Hi guys,
I have a table called agents I want to show the name of the agents in a menu in order to select one agent from that list.
I added in a form the menu/list and added the value dynamically with a recordset, I have 14 items in that table but the menu/list is only showing 10.
I would like to show the name of all the 14 agents.
This is the code dreamweaver is generating, do I need to add something there?
<select name="agente" id="agente">
                <?php
do {
?>
                <option value="<?php echo $row_nombreagenteingresar['nombre']?>"<?php if (!(strcmp($row_nombreagenteingresar['nombre'], $row_nombreagenteingresar['nombre']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_nombreagenteingresar['nombre']?></option>
                <?php
} while ($row_nombreagenteingresar = mysql_fetch_assoc($nombreagenteingresar));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($nombreagenteingresar);
if($rows > 0) {
      mysql_data_seek($nombreagenteingresar, 0);
       $row_nombreagenteingresar = mysql_fetch_assoc($nombreagenteingresar);
?>
            </select>
Regards,

Looks like you either...
1. Haven't uploaded the re4.jpg image
2. Uploaded it to the wrong location (the link says it should be in your site root)
3. Uploaded the image with the wrong name (RE4.jpg and re4.jpg are the same on your local system, but on a server they're separate files)
Actually, #3 is true, I found the image as RE4.jpg, but the link is to re4.jpg
To avoid this in the future, make sure your files all use lowercase, alpha-numeric names. Avoid using spaces (use hyphens and underscores instead) and avoid special characters like #&$ all together.

Flex Table Add Row Issue with Dynamic Entry Lists in Visual Composer

All,
Your help would be kindly appreciated in resolving an 'Add Row'-issue within a Flex Table that uses Dynamic Entry Lists in Visual Composer. The issue here is as follows :
When I use a [Local Dynamic Entry List |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=O5hrG2aMxWZ84Mu1211193041]to populate a row field, the initial row and all next rows are emptied upon 'insert row', they loose their selected values and also the entry list values ('pull-down menus') are lost. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=FPLr2cABcgiHRou1211192889].
The initial row does [show the entry list values |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=2HybmEHAuQYs9cg1211192766]from the Local Dynamic Entry List based on the dynamically assigned input value; upon 'insert row' the entry lists are lost. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=FPLr2cABcgiHRou1211192889].
When using a [Global Dynamic Entry List |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=m5p2KYuBb442dTq1211193501]to populate the row fields the Flex-table behaves normally as expected. Unfortunately with a Global Entry List it is not possible to dynamically assign a input value. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=U96V0zENCCyO3gA1211193157].
Please also see the [issue summary image|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=06xti08tIEfely1211195178] I made to visualize the issue. What I basically would like to know is whether this is a 'known issue' or not, or that it is an issue that can be fixed or whether there is an alternative workaround available ... I'm using Visual Composer 7.0 and the Portal is at SP 13.
Many thanks,

you should be able to assign a dynamic value with global entry lists as well. If you say @myParam as dynamic value. VC will indicate in red letters, that the field @myParam is unknown. However, it will work, as long as @myParam is known in the form or table where you use the entry list.
I have never heard of the problem that entry lists are emptied after "insert"-event.

Flex Table Add Row Issue with Dynamic Entry Lists

All,
Your help would be kindly appreciated in resolving an 'Add Row'-issue within a Flex Table that uses Dynamic Entry Lists in Visual Composer. The issue here is as follows :
When I use a [Local Dynamic Entry List |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=O5hrG2aMxWZ84Mu1211193041]to populate a row field, the initial row and all next rows are emptied upon 'insert row', they loose their selected values and also the entry list values ('pull-down menus') are lost. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=FPLr2cABcgiHRou1211192889].
The initial row does [show the entry list values |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=2HybmEHAuQYs9cg1211192766]from the Local Dynamic Entry List based on the dynamically assigned input value; upon 'insert row' the entry lists are lost. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=FPLr2cABcgiHRou1211192889].
When using a [Global Dynamic Entry List |http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=m5p2KYuBb442dTq1211193501]to populate the row fields the Flex-table behaves normally as expected. Unfortunately with a Global Entry List it is not possible to dynamically assign a input value. Please also see [screenshot|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=U96V0zENCCyO3gA1211193157].
Please also see the [issue summary image|http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=06xti08tIEfely1211195178] I made to visualize the issue. What I basically would like to know is whether this is a 'known issue' or not, or that it is an issue that can be fixed or whether there is an alternative workaround available ... I'm using Visual Composer 7.0 and the Portal is at SP 13.
Many thanks,
Freek

Validate Menu List in form.

I was wondering if there is a way to validate a menu or list in a form. ie. at http://www.metrobham.org/register.html I would like to at least make the "Choose One" menu/list a required field as well as the "Age" and "Gender" fields.
Thanks

You can do it quickly and simply with javascript before the information is sent to your php processing script. I've validated the 'Choose One' select, the 'Gender' radio buttons and the 'Age' select. You can do the rest if you want but you will have to look at the code and see how it works. It's not that difficult when you see the pattern forming.
