Hi all:
Well, when i bring out the page with the drop down list it was able to display all tutors' names from "tutor_name" column. Anyway here's a review of my code
(snip) again before i continue:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<snip> $sql = "INSERT INTO class (class_code, tutor_name, edu_level, timetable_day, timetable_time)
VALUES
('$class_code','$tutor_name','$edu_level','$timetable_day','$timetable_time')";
Where are the variables coming from?
<?//retrieve data from DB & display in dynamic drop down ?>
<SELECT class="textarea" name="tutor_name" />
| This is illegal -----------------------------+
<?
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT tutor_name FROM tutor "); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) { print "<OPTION VALUE=\"$tutor_name\" SELECTED> " .$row ["tutor_name"]. "</option> ";
Only one option can be selected unless the <select> is multiple
} $result = $db-> query($sql);
?> </select>
<?
while($selected_tutor_name == $tutor_name) echo $_POST["tutor_name"];
$_POST["tutor_name"] is printed out only if $selected_tutor_name == $tutor_name, in that case the while loop would be infinite however.
?>
</snip>

so when i submit the form, i am suppose to echo the values i have entered into the field and then INSERT the values into DB (Queries stated above). However i was able to echo all other values eg. class_code, edu_level, etc...but not "tutor_name"....same thing happen when i do an INSERT, all other values are inserted into DB but not $tutor_name....why is this so???Really need some help here...Anyway i have already specify a name to be reference :
<SELECT class="textarea" name="tutor_name" >
and then I also did an echo of "tutor_name" being selected:
while($selected_tutor_name == $tutor_name) echo $_POST["tutor_name"];
All help are greatly appreciated =)
