Hi I'm trying to create a single dropdown menu for a search that will post results from multiple fields. I think this could be pretty simple if i wasnt a php newb.
For example I have two fields City and Park. Cities contain multiple parks. So in a single drop down i'd like to have something like
-City1 (all)-
park A
Park B
Park C
-City2 (all)-
Park D
Park E
Park F
Currently the search is only by city. I need to expand this into the single dropdown to reflect the parks.
$city = @$_GET['city'];
$park = @$_GET['park'];
if ($city =='%'){
$location = 'All';
}
if ($park =='%'){
$park = 'All';
}
if (empty($city)){
$location = 'All';
}
if (empty($park)){
$park = 'All';
}And the dropdown looks like:
<select name="city">
<?
if ($city== 'All'){
?>
<option selected="selected">All</option>
<?
}
else {
?>
<option>All</option>
<?
}
if ($city == 'city1'){
?>
<option selected="selected">city1</option>
<?
}
else {
?>
<option value="city1">--City1 (All)--</option>
<?
}
if ($location == 'city2'){
?>
<option selected="selected">city2</option>
<?
}
else {
?>
<option value="city2">--city2 (All)--</option>
<?
}
?>I need a way to add options from park in the list... underneath City1... maybe something like ...
if ($park == 'parkA'){
?>
<option selected="selected">parkA</option>
<?
}
else {
?>
<option value="parkA">parkA</option>
<?
}But that obviously doesnt work because the select name is for city and not park... so when i submit, there are obviously no results for city=parkA
The results will then just return information for each entry in the database matching those criteria...
thanks for the help...
