I have two php pages, admin_bkp.php and db_submit.php.
The admin_bkp.php gives a user a table that let’s the user set permissions to employees and save the permissions to a MySQL table called rights. The employee info is gathered from hs_hr_employee and saved to rights together with an extra ‘Permissions’ column.
It was working at first, you could save the data and when you refresh the page, the admin_bkp.php shows you the default value in the comboboxes as you had previously chosen.
However, now it is returning the default value as ‘All’ which is something I don’t want. I want it to show the chosen value from before.
The admin_php.bkp saves the values upon clicking the ‘Save’ button
This is the code:
admin_bkp.php
<?php
$connection = mysql_connect('localhost','admin','root');
if( isset($_POST['submit']) )
{
if( isset( $_POST['cb_change'] ) && is_array( $_POST['cb_change'] ))
{
foreach( $_POST['cb_change'] as $emp_number => $permission)
{
echo "$permission";
$sql = "UPDATE `rights` SET Permission='".mysql_real_escape_string($permission)."' WHERE emp_number='".mysql_real_escape_string($emp_number)."'";
echo __LINE__.": sql: {$sql}\n";
mysql_query( $sql );
}
}
}
?>

Can you kindly point me in the right direction?
If the correct values are displaying in the database, then your problem is with displaying the data at the other end. From what I understand, you want to output a list of permissions in an html select box, with the currently stored permission set as ‘selected’ for that user, correct?
If so, your code here:
Is wrong. you need to match the
<option>value to the currently selected value, then stick attribute on it.eg:
That should work.
FINAL EDIT
The following code marked ‘Code’ should be placed underneath:
