Drop-down return MYSQL results - El Forum - 10-09-2013 [eluser]Unknown[/eluser] Good morning, I am new to Code Ignitor and rather new to PHP as well so I appreciate your assistance to begin with. I have a drown-down menu (hard coded with options) that stores the results in a table. My question is if I go back to edit those results they of course default back to the hard coded order. How do I make the drop-down display the option that was originally selected and stored in the DB? <select name="client_type"> <option name="client_type" value="Retail">Retail</option> <option name="client_type" value="Ad Speciality">Ad Speciality</option> <option name="client_type" value="Combination">Combination</option> </select> Drop-down return MYSQL results - El Forum - 10-09-2013 [eluser]CroNiX[/eluser] http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/helpers/form_helper.html Look at the form helper, specifically the form_dropdown() function. |
