dynamic select

slevytam

Hi,

I have a dynamic select box that i would like to modify for boolean use. I have done this in the past but can't seem to remember how...

The select looks like this:

$inviteds=array('Select', 'Yes', 'No');
echo '<select name="invited">';
foreach ($inviteds as $value){
echo '<option value="'.$value.'"'; if ($invited==$value) {echo ' selected';} echo'>'.$value.'</option>';
}
echo '</select>';

What i would like is to modify this so the value of the entries are as follows: Select -1, Yes 1, No 0

If someone can help I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

seby

$options = array('Yes', 'No');
echo '<select name="invited">';

foreach($options AS $value)
{
	$selected = ($invited == $value) ? 'selected' : '';

echo '<option value="'.$value.'" '.$selected.'>'.$value.'</option>';
}

echo '</select>';

well, now that i look at it, you seem to be doing it correctly..
What exactly are you trying to do? What isn't working?

Thanks for your reply..

The listbox is working fine.

The problem is I would like the value of the options to be
Select: -1
Yes: 1
No: 0

Currently the values are
Select: "Select"
Yes: "Yes"
No: "No"

Unfortunately, I need all three options so this complicates things...

Thanks,

$inviteds = array(
   'Select' => '-1', 
   'Yes' => '1', 
   'No' => '0');

echo '<select name="invited">'; 

foreach($inviteds AS $name => $value) 
{ 
    $selected = ($invited == $value) ? 'selected' : ''; 

echo '<option name="'.$name.'" value="'.$value.'" '.$selected.'>'.$name.'</option>'; 
} 

echo '</select>';

I'm not sure what your comparing $invited with.. but edit
$invited == $value with whatever you are comparing to check if its selected or not.

$inviteds = array ('-1' => 'Select', '1' => 'Yes', '0' => 'No');

echo '<select name="invited">';
foreach ($inviteds as $key => $value)
{
	echo '<option value="' . $key . '"'; if ($invited == $key) {echo ' selected';} echo '>' . $value . '</option>';
} 
echo '</select>';
