Question

Multiple Select Dropdown list with Ajax

Shown below is the text displayed on a web page that has a multiple dropdown select that connects to a mysql database. By selecting the dropdowns site, menu and categ the query returns the last column in the table called links which is displayed using ajax on page test.php. I would like to show all fields in the query?

Select: site: menu: categ:

My required result example Below is the actual output I would like to achieve

site, site, menu, categ

Research I have completed all the tutorials in the link below multi dropdown select search form (jQuery,php,mysql) searched this site and various others this is the 8th revision of my application this version only uses one mysql table as opposed to different tables to create the dropdowns ajax.

How can I produce the required result?

What I have tried

I have created a variable called $where_2 in select_list.php which contains the selected values of the drop downs but am not sure how I can append it to the output my best try is to join it to the variable $re_html on the last line of select_list.php this prints it but not in the format I want. Any help greatly appreciated as a newbie can you please keep it simple.

Scripts

I have included the working scripts below for reference they can be found at http://coursesweb.net/

      // removes data in elements with the id stored in the "ar_cols" variable
      // starting with the element with the id value passed in colid
      for(var i=1; i<ar_cols.length; i++) {
        if(ar_cols[i]==null) continue;
        if(ar_cols[i]==colid) z = 1;
        if(z==1) document.getElementById(preid+ar_cols[i]).innerHTML = '';
      }
    }

    // create the XMLHttpRequest object, according browser
    function get_XmlHttp() {
      // create the variable that will contain the instance 
          // of the XMLHttpRequest object (initially with null value)
      var xmlHttp = null;
      // for Forefox, IE7+, Opera, Safari
      if(window.XMLHttpRequest) { xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); }
          // IE5 or 6
      else if(window.ActiveXObject) { xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } 

      return xmlHttp;
    }

    // sends data to a php file, via POST, and displays the received answer
    function ajaxReq(col, wval) {
      removeLists(col);           // removes the already next selects displayed

      // if the value of wval is not '- - -' and '' (the first option)
      if(wval!='- - -' && wval!='') {
        var request =  get_XmlHttp(); // call the function with the XMLHttpRequest instance
        var php_file = 'select_list.php';     // path and name of the php file

        // create pairs index=value with data that must be sent to server
        var  data_send = 'col='+col+'&wval='+wval;

Answer 1

This looks a SQL injection attack waiting to happen:

 // define a string with the WHERE condition, and then the SELECT query
$where = isset($ar_where) ? ' WHERE '. implode($ar_where, ' AND ') : '';
$where_2 = isset($ar_where) ? ''. implode($ar_where, ',') : '';
// DISTINCT  only shows individual elements no duplicates in the drop down
    $sql = "SELECT DISTINCT `$col` FROM `$table`".$where; 

Use prepared statements: http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.prepare.php

Once you've fixed that, as far as your formatting question goes, just str_replace() the output.

echo str_replace('/',', ',$re_html);
