mysqli dropdown
I got one of those AHA moments. The following code
is what I want in that it creates a menu and I can select and
display a table row. I still need to use that selection to update
the "lastused". I really appreciate your help.
<!DOCTYPE><html><head><title>email menu</title></head>
<body><center>
<form name="form" method="post" action="">
<?php
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","cookie","homedb");
//============== check connection
if(mysqli_errno($con))
{echo "Can't Connect to mySQL:".mysqli_connect_error();}
else
{echo "Connected to mySQL</br>";}
//This creates the drop down box
echo "<select name= 'target'>";
echo '<option value="">'.'--- Select email account ---'.'</option>';
$query = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT target FROM emailtbl");
$query_display = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * FROM emailtbl");
while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($query))
{echo "<option value='". $row['target']."'>".$row['target']
.'</option>';}
echo '</select>';
?>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"/><!-- update "lastused" using selected "target"-->
</form></body></html>
<!DOCTYPE><html><head><title>email menu</title></head>
<body><center>
<?php
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","cookie","homedb");
if(mysqli_errno($con))
{echo "Can't Connect to mySQL:".mysqli_connect_error();}
if(isset($_POST['target']))
{
$name = $_POST['target'];
$fetch="SELECT target,username,password,emailused,lastused, purpose, saved FROM emailtbl WHERE target = '".$name."'";
$result = mysqli_query($con,$fetch);
if(!$result)
{echo "Error:".(mysqli_error($con));}
$lastused = "CURDATE()"; // update "lastused" using selected "target"
//display the table
echo '<table border="1">'.'<tr>'.'<td bgcolor="#ccffff align="center">'. 'Email menu'. '</td>'.'</tr>';
echo '<tr>'.'<td>'.'<table border="1">'.'<tr>'.'<td bgcolor="#ccffff align="center">'.'target'.'</td>'.'<td bgcolor="#ccffff align="center">'.'username'.'</td>'.'<td bgcolor="#ccffff align="center">'.'password'.'</td>'.'<td bgcolor="#ccffff align="center">'.'emailused'.'</td>'.'<td bgcolor="#ccffff align="center">'.'lastused'.'</td>'.'<td bgcolor="#ccffff align="center">'.'purpose'. '</td>'.'<td bgcolor="#ccffff align="center">'. 'saved' .'</td>'.'</tr>';
while($data=mysqli_fetch_row($result))
{echo ("<tr><td>$data[0]</td><td>$data[1]</td><td>$data[2]</td><td>$data[3]</td><td>$data[4]</td><td>$data[5]</td><td>$data[6]</td></tr>");}
echo '</table>'.'</td>'.'</tr>'.'</table>';
}
?>
</body></html>
