Question

I have an application you can view here to test APPLICATION, but I am having to little issues I can’t seem to figure out.

1. Even though the queries are correct it is not able to display the module selected in code below:

      <p>
       <strong>Selected Module:</strong><?php $dbModuleNo;?> - <?php$dbModuleName;?> <input type='hidden' value='<?php$_POST["module"];?>'>
       </p>
   

2. How can I display Please Select Module and Please Select an Assessment messages only after the user has selected a Please Select option from one of the relevant drop down menus and submitting it:

Code is below (I commented out queries):

<form action="" method="post"> 
                <?php            
                /*
                $moduleactive = 1;
                $sql = "SELECT ModuleId, ModuleNo, ModuleName FROM Module WHERE ModuleActive = ? ORDER BY ModuleNo"; 

                $sqlstmt=$mysqli->prepare($sql);
                $sqlstmt->bind_param("i", $moduleactive);
                $sqlstmt->execute(); 
                $sqlstmt->bind_result($dbModuleId,$dbModuleNo,$dbModuleName);
                $sqlstmt->store_result();
                $sqlnum = $sqlstmt->num_rows();
                */
                ?>
                Module: 
                <select name="module" id="modulesDrop">
                    <option value="">Please Select</option>
                    <?php
                    while($sqlstmt->fetch()) { 
                        $ov = $dbModuleNo . "_" . $dbModuleName . "_" . $dbModuleId; 
                        if($ov == $_POST["module"]) 
                            echo "<option selected='true' value='$ov'>$dbModuleNo - $dbModuleName</option>" . PHP_EOL; 
                        else 
                            echo "<option value='$ov'>$dbModuleNo - $dbModuleName</option>" . PHP_EOL;
                     } 
                    ?>

Answer 1

<strong>Selected Module:</strong> - <?php$dbModuleName;?> <input type='hidden' value='<?php$_POST["module"];?>'>

This is your error. If you view source you ll see that PHP code is being printed as it is because you are not spacing it properly. Try this

<strong>Selected Module:</strong> - <?php echo $dbModuleName;?> <input type='hidden' value='<?php echo $_POST["module"];?>'>

<?php$dbModuleName;?> should be <?php echo $dbModuleName;?>
