I changed all the short tags and I'm still having the same problem. Any more ideas?

Hello, I got the following code from someone and have tailored it to fit my needs but I have a problem. The first menu populates from my MySQL database. However, when the first menu is selected, the...

Well, that's kinda working. The dropdown now populates with all the years for all the Makes. I only want it to display the relevent years for each car the user clicks on. Any ideas?

Any help?

Well, I've actually got two pieces of code. The first one I'll post was given to me by someone else but I've managed to get it to work for my application. Here it is:

Hello everyone, I'm having trouble populating a dropdown box with mysql data. I have a table with columns makeid, yearstart, yearend and makename. Sample data would be 1, 1936, 1941, American Bantam....

Ok, I've been working on this code and have gotten it figured out except for one thing. I cannot populate the drop down boxes with the years that are specific to the makes. Here's the modified code:...

Awesome! Thanks for posting but I still have a slight problem. I got it to echo the Makes out and when I click them, it takes me back to the page. However, I want the page to be where you click on...

Hey everyone, I want to use mysql to list all of the makes of vehicles and I want the user to be able to click a make and the years that make were made pop up. Is there a way to do this using PHP?...

Hello, I have a problem that someone can hopefully help me with. I have a page where Make, Year and Model menus are dynamically created via mysql. Upon selection, the user presses submit and those...

I'm trying to decode a variable the user inputs into two different things, depending on the input.

Here it is in context:

User inputs 591P1001; 59 is the year, 1 is the series, P is the...

I've got some code using a lot of complex if statements that I'm using for a VIN decoder. I finally got it working and I'm hesitant to alter it but these if statements are huge! If a switch statement...

Thanks for the reply. That wouldn't work for what I'm trying to do either. I only want "Skylark" to display if $Series == "D" && $ModelYear == "2". I'm just looking for a way to incorporate that into...

I know how they work but the example you posted still isn't doing what I'm trying to accomplish. If a user was to input 4A27H2H111111, then what you posted would echo something for A. Whereas, if the...

Well, I tried using a switch statement but I'm stuck again. I have this so far:

switch ($Series)
{
case ($Series == "D" && $ModelYear == "2"):
echo "Skylark";
break;

case ($Series ==...

When I echo out that statement in the else statement, nothing shows up. Likewise, when I take away that second set of parenthesis, nothing shows up. In fact, skips over that set of if-else statements...

I've hit a new road block on my VIN decoder page. I want to echo something only if two variables are true.

Here's what I want to do:

if (($Series == "D") && ($ModelYear == "2")){
echo...

Hello again, I previously asked a question about how to seperate text in a form. I understand how to do that now (thanks KKeith29), but my question now is this: How do I use the data entered in the...

I get what you are saying but I've not been using PHP for long and I don't know how to implent this into my code. Is there anyway you could give me an example using the VIN format I listed above?...

Can anyone help me here? Supposedly it's not hard so someone has to know!

I've seen that before but I was wanting to make my own. It will focus on old cars. That VIN decoder only does the newer 17-digit VINs which means only cars from 1981-present can be decoded. There's...

Hey Keith, thanks for the response. The format depends on the make of the car but they are standardized for each make or year range. For example, the VIN format I posted above would be correct for...

Hello everyone, I've been trying to build a website with a VIN decoder for a few weeks now and I'm getting no where. I have no experience with PHP but have been doing a lot of reading. My question is...
