 Drop Down Menu Filter Help |
 |
I am using this code for a drop down menu "filter" option :
 | | <?php
include '../head.php';
$sday[] = '';
$sday[0] = 'Day';
for ($i = 1; $i < 32; $i++){
$sday[$i] = $i;
}
$smonth[] = '';
$smonth[0] = 'Month';
$month_names = array("1" => "January", "2" => "February", "3" => "March", "4" => "April", "5" => "May", "6" => "June", "7" => "July", "8" => "August", "9" => "September", "10" => "October", "11" => "November", "12" => "December", );
for ($i = 1; $i < 13; $i++){
$smonth[$i] = $month_names[$i];
}
$syear[] = '';
$syear[0] = 'Year';
for ($i = 1996; $i < (date('Y') + 1); $i++){
$syear[$i] = $i;
}
?>
---------------------
<form method="post" action="results.php" style="margin:0px; padding:0px">
<select name="category" ><option selected value="">Choose a Category</option>
<?
$custom_cats = array("10" => "All", "11" => "HS Track", "13" => "HS XC", "15" => "College Track", "16" => "College XC", "14" => "Road Race", "12" => "Trail Race", "17" => "Track", "18" => "XC", "19" => "Triathlon", "23" => "Duathlon",);
foreach($custom_cats as $cat_id => $cat_name){
echo '<option'.($category == $cat_id ? ' selected' : '').' value="'.$cat_id.'">'.$cat_name.'</option>';
}
?>
</select>
<?=makeDropDown($smonth, 'month', 'Month'); ?>
<?=makeDropDown($sday, 'day', 'Day'); ?>
<?=makeDropDown($syear, 'year', 'Year'); ?>
<input name="Go" type="submit" id="Go" value="GO" />
</form> |
And it works great. Just two questions:
1). I was wondering how I could make an error output if there is no search results? (instead of being blank)
2). If there was a way to keep the value in the select menu after the submit button is pressed? The Category Drop down menu keeps its value, but the Month, Day and Year go back to default???
Here is a picture after the action :
Thanks.

1. In your form you are linking to results.php. What's in this file?
2. Try this instead:
| | <?=makeDropDown($smonth, 'month', $_POST['month']); ?>
<?=makeDropDown($sday, 'day', $_POST['day']); ?>
<?=makeDropDown($syear, 'year', $_POST['year']); ?> |

PERFECT!

a- just an include code for results. I have a different include code for the index page.
| | <?php
$category = '10';
$number = '40';
$template = 'results_justadded';
if($_POST['category']){
$category = $_POST['category'];
}
include $cutepath.'/show_news.php';
?> |

In inc/show.news.php add this:
| | if (!$query){
?>
<div class="error_message"><?=$echo['notFound']; ?></div>
<?
return;
} |
above:
| | foreach ($query as $bg => $row){ |
