hi
i have registration form where user selects from a drop down to
select their area code apart from filling other details in the form.
in the next page which is a confirmation page i would like to
display the select option that a user choose in the first page i am
able to display this using a textfield however i would like to
display using the select drop down.
following is the code for both select and radio button that i have
used.
1. Select tag
$pcontactnumber = addslashes($_POST["pcontactnumber"]);
<select name="pcontactnumber">
<option value="09"> <?php if $pcontactnumber == "09"
echo "selected" ?>09</option>
<option value="07"> <?php if $pcontactnumber == "07"
echo "selected" ?>07</option>
</select>
2. radio button
<script language="javascript">
var m = document.confirmregistrationform.gender.Male.checked;
var f = document.confirmregistrationform.gender.Female.checked;
</script>
echo "<input type =\"radio\" name=\"gender\" value=\"Male\" if
($gender=='Male') m // Male";
echo "<input type =\"radio\" name=\"gender\" value=\"Female\" if
($gender=='Female') f // Female";
2. radio button
echo "<input type =\"radio\" name=\"gender\" value=\"Male\" if
($gender=='Male') {gender.checked}>Male";
echo "<input type =\"radio\" name=\"gender\" value=\"Female\" if
($gender=='Female') {gender.checked}>Female";
please correct the code and provide the correct syntax to display
the information for select tag and radio button in the confirmation
page using php
also i have another question, how can i pass a variable to a php
file when a user clicks on a link without submitting a form
Ex:
Please choose your user name <input type="text" name="username"> <a
href="checkusername.php">check availability</a>
i have tried document.myform.submit(); onclick event for the <a> tag
however it does not work
please advice.
thanks
