Dropdown Menu Searchbox

[wolveirne2005]

This is whole system that's already built. The search functions need this kind of variable search[account_number] . Otherwise he result does not show up. How can I pass the value?

<div align="center"><br />Search:<br />
 <select name="searchby" id="droplist">
  <option name="search[company_name]">COMPANY NAME</option>
   <option name="search[account_number]">ACCOUNT NUMBER</option>
   <option value="all">SHOW ALL</option>
</select>
  <br/ ><br />For:<br><input type="text" name="" class="submit" size="16">
   <br></span><br /><?php echo create_link("Search","submit"); ?>	        <?php echo create_link("Reset","reset",$module->link()); ?>
</div>

Can I use javascript to pass the selected dropdown value.
The logic is this, if COMPANY NAME selected the it will search only on the company table. Thanks in advance

<option name="search[company_name]">COMPANY NAME</option>
   <option name="search[account_number]">ACCOUNT NUMBER</option>
   <option value="all">SHOW ALL</option>

should be:

<option value="company_name">COMPANY NAME</option>
   <option value="account_number">ACCOUNT NUMBER</option>
   <option value="all">SHOW ALL</option>

The select carries:

<select name="searchby" id="droplist">

On submit you pick up $_POST or $_GET, depending on the form method.
That will hold either company_name,account_number,all.
SO simple to pull out data from DB.

If you want ajax or autofill, that's something else.

Actually that is not working. the only thing that works is

<input type="text" name="<?php echo $_REQUEST['unisearch'];?>" class="submit" size="16">

However, the problem is I have to click the search twice to get the variable. That is the only problem I have right now. Thanks

Are you sending to a different page or the same one? I don't see any form tags.

The code you've posted is quite unorthodox.

But good luck with it.

Yes, there is form.
Basically,
<input type="text" name="<?php echo $_REQUEST;?>" class="submit" size="16">
the name needs to update as the user selects Company name or Account number, so the search function to look in that table database.

The name field for

<?php 
error_reporting(1);
if(getlevel()!="administrator"){exit;}
$search = $_REQUEST['search'];
$unisearch = $_REQUEST['search'];

$users = $module->get_users($db,$search);

?>

tr#hide{
	display:none!important;
	visibility:hidden!important;
}

</style>
