Hello
In a php file I have a drop down list with index numbers in whos default
value is feed into an sql query that filters records from my database and
displays them in an html table. Trouble is this happens as soon as the php
is run so bringing up the same records filtered from the default index. Also
when I select a new index no from the drop down list is doesnt refilter the
records bringing up the ones for the new list. It still shows the old
default ones and the dropdown list changes back to the default value. What
alterations do I need to make?
Some of my code below (Ive taken irrelevent bits out and simplified the SQL
Statements to show only the important bits)
Also I dont want to display the index no in the dropdown box. I wish to
display its accociated description and only use the index for filtering. How
do I acheive this?
<?php
$query_NC = "SELECT NCIndex, TopicDesc FROM NC WHERE StatusID = 1 ORDER BY
TopicDesc ASC";
$NC = mysql_query($query_NC, $conn) or die(mysql_error());
$row_NC = mysql_fetch_assoc($NC);
$totalRows_NC = mysql_num_rows($NC);
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</p>
<p>Use the drop down lists to filter the database:</p>
<blockquote>
<form name="form2" method="post" action="<?php echo
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">

(!(strcmp($row_NC['NCIndex'], $row_NC['NCIndex']))) {echo "SELECTED";}
?>><?php echo $row_NC['NCIndex']?></option>
<?php
} while ($row_NC = mysql_fetch_assoc($NC));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($NC);
if($rows > 0) {
mysql_data_seek($NC, 0);
$row_NC = mysql_fetch_assoc($NC);
