Query database using 3 dropdown menus

Recommended Posts

Hi there, I am new to PHP and need some help! I am trying to setup a form where customers can use 3 dropdown menus and recieve back products from a database. I have no problem connecting to the database and recieving specified data from 1 dropdown menu, but i need the query to be based on the values selected from all 3 menus. In the end I need customers to select their specific - Treadwidth / Profile / Diameter from the lists and recieve the all the tires having that specific size. The Treadwidth menu is working, but the Profile / Diameter are having no impact on the search. Here is the code I have so far(remember I am a newbe!):<?php require_once('Connections/tires_db.php'); ?><?phpif (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") { $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue; $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue); switch ($theType) { case "text": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "long": case "int": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL"; break; case "double": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "date": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "defined": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue; break; } return $theValue;}}$colname_Recordset1 = "-1";if (isset($_POST['treadwidth'])) { $colname_Recordset1 = $_POST['treadwidth'];}mysql_select_db($database_tires_db, $tires_db);$query_Recordset1 = sprintf("SELECT * FROM tireinfo WHERE treadwidth = %s", GetSQLValueString($colname_Recordset1, "text"));$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $tires_db) or die(mysql_error());$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);mysql_select_db($database_tires_db, $tires_db);$query_Recordset1 =("SELECT * FROM tireinfo");$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $tires_db) or die(mysql_error());$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);$colname_Recordset1 = "-1";if (isset($_POST['treadwidth']))if (isset($_POST['profile']))if (isset($_POST['diameter'])) { $colname_Recordset1 = $_POST['treadwidth']; $colname_Recordset1 = $_POST['profile']; $colname_Recordset1 = $_POST['diameter'];}// Connect databasemysql_connect("localhost","root","");mysql_select_db("tires_db"); // If submitted, check the value of "select".

are you verifying that the values a user selects are actually being sent to the script? You say one drop down works, and is that because you verified that their selection from the first drop down is being sent to the script via the form? If so, you should do the same with the rest, so that if you added this to the top of the script:

var_dump($_POST);

you should see the values you selected. after that it's a matter of verifying that they are making their way to the query correctly.

right, but did you submit the form to actually populate the $_POST array first? Nothing will be in it the first time you land on the page.

Ok, I now have this coming up, array(4) { ["treadwidth"]=> string(3) "215" ["profile"]=> string(2) "50" ["diameter"]=> string(2) "17" ["Submit"]=> string(12) "Search Tires" }but the problem I have is that when I submit this 215/50/17 in the dropdown menus, I am get tires that 215/45/16, etc. The only query that seems to be working is the treadwidth menu. How can I get the query to send all 3 values, and if any of them is missing it will send a error.

If I add AND to the select statement will it work?Old:$query_Recordset1 = sprintf("SELECT * FROM tireinfo WHERE treadwidth = %s", GetSQLValueString($colname_Recordset1, "text"));New:$query_Recordset1 = sprintf("SELECT * FROM tireinfo WHERE treadwidth = 'treadwidth' AND profile= 'profile' AND diameter= 'diameter'");

what happens when you try it? Are you shouldn't be trying with php variables instead?

WHERE treadwidth = $treadwidth
