Question

I am writing a reservation system. On the main page I would give a choice of category, viewed the equipment available for booking.
For example I have code like this:

<select>
        <option value = "a">A</option>
        <option value = "b">B</option>
        <option value = "c">C</option>
        <option value = "d">D</option>
        <option value = "e">E</option>
</select>

I wish that each choice was associated with a separate query to the database, and that was the result of a query dynamically displayed on the screen.

It would be great if you could show me some sample code.

Regards

Answer 1

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM choices");
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
  echo '<option value="'.$row['value'].'">'.$row['value'].'</option>';
}

If you need separate query for each choice the code doesns’t change much:

$query = mysql_query("(SELECT * FROM choices) UNION (SELECT * FROM choices1) [etc]");
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
  echo '<option value="'.$row['value'].'">'.$row['value'].'</option>';
}
