PHP script help!!!!!

[davide78]

Hi guys,

I need to do something that for a lot of you would be very easy, but for me, that I do not know anything of php language, it is very hard to accomplish.

What I want to do is to make a form field ( which I displayed below) add its details to the notes box after being submitted.

Basically, I want my customers to choose one of the rooms in this cascade menu:

<tr><td>Room*</td><td>

<select name="Room" class="bookingtext">
<option value="">Room...</option>
<option value="Praia de Buzios">Praia de Buzios</option>
<option value="Pirangi">Pirangi</option>
<option value="Praia do Amor">Praia do Amor</option>
<option value="Praia de Ponta Negra">Praia de Ponta Negra</option>
<option value="Baia dos Golfinhos">Baia dos Golfinos</option>
<option value="Praia de Genipabu`">Praia de Genipabu`</option>
<option value="Praia do Meio">Praia do Meio</option>
</select>
</td></tr>

and than, I would like the choice to be shown in the text box.

Can someone tell me, step by step, how to do it?

If necessary, I can post the whole [PHP]program.


Thank you very much for your support.

So you want the value of the dropdown to also be in a corresponding textbox on the same page?

hope this will help :




<?php
if(!empty($_GET['Room'])) echo "selected room <input type=text value=\"".addslashes($_GET['Room'])."\">";
else
echo "select a room :D";
?>
<form methode=get>
<tr><td>Room*</td><td>

<select name="Room" onchange=this.parentNode.submit(); class="bookingtext">
<option value="">Room...</option>
<option value="Praia de Buzios">Praia de Buzios</option>
<option value="Pirangi">Pirangi</option>
<option value="Praia do Amor">Praia do Amor</option>
<option value="Praia de Ponta Negra">Praia de Ponta Negra</option>
<option value="Baia dos Golfinhos">Baia dos Golfinos</option>
<option value="Praia de Genipabu`">Praia de Genipabu`</option>
<option value="Praia do Meio">Praia do Meio</option>
</select>
</td></tr>
</form>

Hi Gays,

Sorry, I was not very clear before....Yes, I want the value of the dropdown menu to show also in the textbox, which is in the same page.

Do you know how to do it?

Thank you

Do you want to store the option selected as well, or is it okay if it disappears after use?

BTW, you should all use the [ PHP] [ /PHP], [ HTML] [ /HTML], [ CODE] [ /CODE] (remove the spaces) tags when posting code on the forums.

Hi Guys,

Is it possible?

Thank you again.

This doesn't answer xav's question.


JS would be a more efficient choice, as it would reduce a round-trip. You'd still want the PHP handler, for those browsers that have JS disabled or don't support JS.

<form ...>
   <select name="Room" onchange="roomChange(this);">
      ...
   </select>
   <input name="RoomName" value="<?php isset($_REQUEST['RoomName']) && echo $_REQUEST['RoomName']; ?>"/>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
    function roomChange(roomField) {
        roomField.form.RoomName.value = roomField.value; 
    }
</script>

Don't be so self-centered. Maybe you should have used the [ PHP] tags to make your code stand out, and also, as misson pointed out, there are better ways of achieving the same thing.

@davide78: do you want the value to be stored (kept on the server, so it always show up)
