[RESOLVED] listbox

arth

Hi all,🙂
I am new to this forum.I am here for some help.
I am novice in programming.
I want to make a list box in PHP which will display numbers from 1 to 100,along with it there will be a text box where I can write my name.
I want to make it such that in the first page it comes with 50 selected by default.
How to do it? :rolleyes:
Can anyone help me please..i mean what should the code be?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

This will give you your select listbox...

<?php
echo "<select name=\"numbers\">";
foreach (range(1, 100) as $number) {
	$selected = "";
	if($number == 50) {
		$selected = "SELECTED";
	}
    echo "<option value=\"".$number."\" ".$selected.">".$number."</option>";
}

echo "</select>";
?>

Thanks.
But my code is :

<select name='price'>
<?php
for($i=1;$i<=100;$i++)
{
?>
<option value="<?php echo $i ?> ">
<?php echo $i; ?>
</option>
<?php
}?>
</select>

What should I add to show 50 as default value selected in the list box?

Thanks in advance.

Why post asking for help and code, and then AFTER getting the info you seek, come back and post your own code asking for that to be fixed?!?

The code I provided originally works fine, lasts long time... but if you want to know how to make your code work as you request (and you don't wish to try to learn by picking apart the code I provided you, then here you go...

<select name='price'> 
<?php 
for($i=1;$i<=100;$i++) 
{ 
$selected = ""; 
if($i == 50) { 
	$selected = "SELECTED"; 
} 
?> 
<option value="<?php echo $i; ?> " <?php echo $selected; ?>> 
<?php echo $i; ?> 
</option> 
<?php 
}?> 
</select>

No, don't sweat it. I owe you the apology because I didn't mean that the way it came across. All I meant to say was if you already have code, post it so we can tweak it for you instead of writing code that may not fit into your plans. Also, do yourself a favor and take advantage of the learning oppostunities you get on this forum by trying to gain an understanding of code that is handed to you... That learning will go a long ways.
