  • 0

I have created a webpage using php and mysql, the code works fine except the problem is I have included so many submit buttons and hence my webpage gets redrawn many times. I lose some values i.e. $emirate value and $areas value. I used a variable $choice for storing those values but since the page is being redrawn, I don’t get the values. Help me please.

$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM emirate") 
    or die(mysql_error()); 

    $choice="";

    Print "<table border cellpadding=3>"; 
    print"<tr><th><form method=get action=''><select id=EMIRATE size=1 name='EMIRATE' class='comboBoo'>";
    while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $data )) 
    { 
        Print "<option value=". $info['em_name'] .">".$info['em_name']."</option>"; 
    }
    print"</select><input type=submit value=OK></form></th>";
    if(isset($_GET['EMIRATE'])){
        $emirate=$_GET['EMIRATE'];
        $choice.=$emirate;
        $data = mysql_query("SELECT a_name FROM areas where em_id=(select em_id from emirate where em_name=\"".$emirate."\")") 
        or die(mysql_error());
        Print "<th><form method=get action=''><select id='AREAS' name=AREAS size=1 class='comboBoo'><OPTION value=ALL>ALL</option><OPTION value=ALL>ALL</option>";
        while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $data ))
        {
            Print "<option >".$info['a_name']."</option>";
        }
        print"</select><input type=submit value=OK></form></th>";
    }

    $choice.="->";

    if(isset($_GET['AREAS'])){
        $areas=$_GET['AREAS'];
        $choice.=$areas;
        $data = mysql_query("SELECT h_name FROM hypermarket_em where a_id=(select a_id from areas where a_name=\"".$areas."\")")
        or die(mysql_error());
        Print "<th><form method=get action=''><select name=HYPERMARKETS size=1 class='comboBoo'>";
        while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $data ))
        {
            Print "<option>".$info['h_name']."</option>";
        }
        print"</select><input type=submit value=OK></form></th>";
    }   
    Print "</tr></table>";
    Print "<table border cellpadding=3><tr><th>".$choice."</th></tr></table>";

    $choice="";

    Print "<table border cellpadding=3>"; 
    print"<tr><th><form method=get action=''><select id=EMIRATE size=1 name='EMIRATE' class='comboBoo'>";

 print"</select><input type=hidden name='areas_hidden' value=<?php echo $_GET['AREAS'] ?>/>"
 print"</select><input type=hidden name='emerates_hidden' value=<?php echo $_GET['EMIRATE'] ?>/>"
</th>";

    submit these value with both your forms submission action.then you will have both on your url.
