HTML FORMS selected question

I am having trouble getting values populated in my form... Here is what I got so far:

//The values that need to be selected
$result_ip=pg_query($dbconn,$test_query);

<SELECT    NAME="ip[]" SIZE=10 MULTIPLE>
<?php
//This will show ALL values.
while($rows=pg_fetch_array($result)){
foreach ($options as $index => $option) {
    if ($rows[1]==$option)
    {
echo "<OptioN VALUE=\"$rows[0]\" selected=\"selected\">$rows[1]</Option> \n";
break;
        }
else
{
    echo "<OPTION VALUE=\"$rows[0]\">$rows[1]</OPTION> \n";
    break;
}
}
}

What am I doing wrong?

TIA!

What does $rows contain? What does $options contain?

You could also simplify this a little bit. I'd at least remove the
foreach $options loop and use "in_array" - see php.net/in_array

while ($rows = pg_fetch_array($result)) {
   $selected = '';
   if (in_array($rows[1], $options)) {
     $selected = ' SELECTED';
   }
   sprintf('<option value="%s"%s>%s</option>', $rows[1], $selected,
$rows[1]);
}

I meant can you give an example of what they both contain?

I know what they *should* contain - what do they *actually* contain?

Maybe it's just a typo, but your pg_query is returning into the var
$result_ip, while your fetch is referencing var $result (without _ip).
Maybe that's just a typo for your question, but if not, that is at least one
error.

Also, it would be helpful to know what error you're getting....

Thx for the quick replies!

Chris:

$rows contain ip addresses (postgresql inet) type (example: 192.168.0.1)
$options contain ip addresses (postgresql inet0 type (example: 127.0.0.1)
(keep in mind) they are both arrays. $rows contact all ips, and $options contact the ip addresses that were selected

Randy:
I am not sure what you mean. The variables look right. I am getting no errors! Just the logic is messed up.

I think Randy's right.

At the top you have:

//The values that need to be selected
$result_ip=pg_query($dbconn,$test_query);
^^^^^^^^^
but you are doing this:

while ($row = pg_fetch_array($result)) {


$result_ip  at the top, $result in the second bit.


If you don't see errors, turn up error reporting & display errors:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);


Also that's not what I meant. I meant add a var_dump or print_r at each
stage to see what you are *really* getting from the code.

Sorry, I may of forgetten to give you this:
$result = pg_query($dbconn, "select id,address from ip");

This is right before the:
$options=pg_fetch_array($result_ip);

so, my $results is really all the ip addresses ($rows after I perform the pg_fetch_array).

I will add the var_dump to see it (never done it before, I will do some googling :) )

Ok, I think you are misunderstanding the process:

 

  1. first, you are querying a database (I assume a postgres db) like this:

 

$result = pg_query($dbconn, “select…”) , so,

 

$result now is a “resource reference” which contains the “result” of the query. However, now you need to tell php to return the contents of that resource to you (you can return in either an indexed, associative, or object array). So, to get your “array”, you now use $result like this:

 

$myArray = pg_fetch_array($result);

 

Now $myArray is the actual “row/s” you returned in $result.

 

Does that make sense?

 

So, when you first query, $result (or $result_ip) = pg_query(conn, sql), you need to be consistent with your variables. Either use $result_ip, or $result, but not both….My guess is that’s your problem.

 

Hope that helps!

Randy

After your query add it:

$result = pg_query(....)
var_dump($result);

if that's not a "resource" then you have a problem with your query. Use
pg_last_error to work it out.


Inside your loop, add it:

while ($row = pg_fetch_array($result)) {
   var_dump($row);
}

---------------------------

Mag, i'm not sure what is wrong with the specific code, however, i'll make a suggestion that i think will help you more than just resolving this issue.

i recommend you look into learning a forms class.  the code will be much cleaner and the thought process is much more obvious.  the icing on the cake is the increased functionality you will get "out of the box" because some smart person coded it right into their forms class.  for example, i get client side and server side error checking and error message reporting.  i also get to have my form give focus to the first element via javascript.  there is some ajaxy stuff i haven't learned yet, but it is available.

i use Manuel Lemos' free forms generation and validation class which can be found on phpclasses.org.  iirc, the license is such that it can be included in proprietary commercial applications.  there are others, too.  i believe pear has one, along with some other functionality.

i'm very glad i went with a forms class instead of "htmling" it all.  i think you will be, too.

Manuel has a yahoo mailing list that is very helpful and reasonably active.  Most questions are answered within a day or so.

good luck.
