How to save a select option loaded from database in PHP
Question
[sample][1]
Good day,
I successfully fetched the values from the database **(db) for the select option using mysqli but the problem is whenever I try save it in the database it doesn't retrieve the value selected in select the option .
Can you please give any suggestions on how to deal with this.
<?php $conn = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', '', 'db') ; if (mysqli_connect_error()) { echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error(); } else if (!$conn) { die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error()); } else { echo"db_connection.php RUNNING<br>"; } /* CONNECTION IN DATABASE*/ /* WHILE LOOP FOR SELECT OPTION IN DATABASE*/ $result = $conn->query("select b_fname from tbl_client"); echo "<html>"; echo "<body>"; echo "<select name='id'>"; while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { unset($b_id, $b_fname); $b_id = $row['b_id']; $b_fname = $row['b_fname']; echo '<form action ="dropdown_demo.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" >'; echo '<option name="b_fname" value="/'.$b_fname.'/">'.$b_fname.'.'.$b_fname.'</option>'; echo " </form>"; } echo '</select><input type="submit" name="add_drop" />'; echo "</body>"; echo "</html>"; /* SQL INSERT THE VALUE TO THE */ $sql = "INSERT INTO tbl_client (b_fname)VALUES ( '$b_fname' )"; if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) { echo('<script>alert("Record Added Successfully!");</script>'); // header('Refresh: 1; URL= import_addnew-Copy.php'); error_reporting(0); } else { error_reporting(0); } mysqli_close($conn); ?>

I have made some changes in your code. pu the tag out side while loop etc... Try the below code:
$conn = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', '', 'db') ;
if (mysqli_connect_error())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
else if (!$conn) {
die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}else
{
echo"db_connection.php RUNNING<br>";
}
/* CONNECTION IN DATABASE*/
/* WHILE LOOP FOR SELECT OPTION IN DATABASE*/
$result = $conn->query("select b_fname from tbl_client");
echo "<html>";
echo "<body>";
echo '<form action ="dropdown_demo.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" >';
echo '<select name="b_fname" >';
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
unset($b_id, $b_fname);
$b_id = $row['b_id'];
$b_fname = $row['b_fname'];
echo '<option value="'.$b_fname.'">'.$b_fname.'.'.$b_fname.'</option>';
}
echo '</select><input type="submit" name="add_drop" />';
echo " </form>";
echo "</body>";
echo "</html>";
/* SQL INSERT THE VALUE TO THE */
if(isset($_POST['add_drop'])){
$b_fname = $_POST["b_fname"];
$sql = "INSERT INTO tbl_client (b_fname) VALUES ( '".$b_fname."' )";
if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) {
echo('<script>alert("Record Added Successfully!");</script>');
// header('Refresh: 1; URL= import_addnew-Copy.php');
error_reporting(0);
} else {
error_reporting(0);
}
}
mysqli_close($conn);
