PHP:下拉框中的选定值
I am doing an dropdown box, where I have let's say we have "option1" and "option2", the dropbox selects(marks) the "option1" and then we select the "option2", I want it to mark the "option2" in the dropdown box, but it doesn't mark it.
I'm trying to avoid to do javascript on this one, so I wonder if I can do it only on PHP.
Advices? Thanks!
Edit. Well the problem is that i dont know how many options i have before building the dropdown menu. I get an array generated from a table in a database and make the options based on that. Code:
<select name="department">
<?php foreach(bloggModelControler::getDepartments($_SESSION['user']) as $tempDepartment){
if(strcmp($tempDepartment, $department) == 0){
$selected = ".selected='selected'.";
}else{
$selected = ".selected=''.";
}
$dropdown = "<option \"$selected\" value=\"$tempDepartment\">\"$tempDepartment\" Selected</option>";
echo $dropdown;
}?>
</select>
and $department:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['department'])){
$department = $_POST['department'];
}else{
$departments = bloggModelControler::getDepartments($_SESSION['user']);
$department = $departments[0];
}
?>
我正在做一个下拉框,让我们说我们有“option1”和“option2”,这是一个dropbox 选择(标记)“option1”然后我们选择“option2”,我希望它在下拉框中标记“option2”,但它没有标记它。 p>
我试图避免在这个上做javascript,所以我想知道我是否只能在PHP上做。 p>
建议? 谢谢! p>
编辑。 问题是我在构建下拉菜单之前不知道我有多少选项。 我得到一个从数据库中的表生成的数组,并根据它生成选项。 编码: p>
&lt; select name =“department”&gt;
&lt; ?php foreach(bloggModelControler :: getDepartments($ _ SESSION ['user'])as $ tempDepartment){
if(strcmp($ tempDepartment,$ department)== 0){
$ selected =“。select ='selected '。;;
} else {
$ selected =“。select =''。”;
}
$ dropdown =“&lt; option \”$ selected \“value = \”$ tempDepartment \“&gt ; \“$ tempDepartment \”Selected&lt; / option&gt;“;
echo $ dropdown;
}?&gt;
&lt; / select&gt;
code> pre>
和$ department: p>
&lt;?php
if(isset) ($ _POST ['department'])){
$ department = $ _POST ['department'];
} else {
$ departments = bloggModelControler :: getDepartments($ _ SESSION ['user']);
$ department = $ departments [0];
}
?&gt;
code> pre>
div>
Updated answer based on updated question (included code)
Don't put the periods inside the text variables for 'selected'.
if(strcmp($tempDepartment, $department) == 0){
$selected = "selected='selected'";
}else{
$selected = "selected=''";
}

In your PHP code that generates the HTML for the Select box, you have to specify which option is selected.
For example:
<select name="selectbox">
<option <?php if ($_POST['selectbox'] == 'option1') echo 'selected="selected"';?>>option1</option>
<option <?php if ($_POST['selectbox'] == 'option2') echo 'selected="selected"';?>>option2</option>
</selected>
Alternate syntax:
<select name="selectbox">
<option <?= ($_POST['selectbox'] == 'option1')? 'selected="selected"' : '';?>>option1</option>
<option <?= ($_POST['selectbox'] == 'option2')? 'selected="selected"' : '';?>>option2</option>
</selected>
