Hi guys,

I need to do something that for a lot of you would be very easy, but for me, that I do not know anything of php language, it is very hard to accomplish.

What I want to do is to make a form field ( which I displayed below) add its details to the notes box after being submitted.

Basically, I want my customers to choose one of the rooms in this cascade menu:

<tr><td>Room*</td><td>

<select name="Room" class="bookingtext">
<option value="">Room...</option>
<option value="Praia de Buzios">Praia de Buzios</option>
<option value="Pirangi">Pirangi</option>
<option value="Praia do Amor">Praia do Amor</option>
<option value="Praia de Ponta Negra">Praia de Ponta Negra</option>
<option value="Baia dos Golfinhos">Baia dos Golfinos</option>
<option value="Praia de Genipabu`">Praia de Genipabu`</option>
<option value="Praia do Meio">Praia do Meio</option>
</select>
</td></tr>

and than, I would like the choice to be shown in the text box.

Can someone tell me, step by step, how to do it?

If necessary, I can post the whole [PHP]program.

Thank you very much for your support.

Hi Davide,

I'm not sure if I really understand your problem, but the following code might help you:

PHP Code:


			
<form action="#">
<table><tr><td>Room*</td><td>
<select name="Room" class="bookingtext">
    <option value="">Room...</option>
    <option value="Praia de Buzios">Praia de Buzios</option>
    <option value="Pirangi">Pirangi</option>
    <option value="Praia do Amor">Praia do Amor</option>
    <option value="Praia de Ponta Negra">Praia de Ponta Negra</option>
    <option value="Baia dos Golfinhos">Baia dos Golfinos</option>
    <option value="Praia de Genipabu`">Praia de Genipabu`</option>
    <option value="Praia do Meio">Praia do Meio</option>
</select>
</td><td><input type="submit" value="Submit"></td></tr>
</table>
<textarea name="textbox" cols="40" rows="5">
<?php echo $_GET['Room']; ?>
</textarea></form>

(If you don't want to use any submit buttons, you might have to use javascript.)

Hi Trey,

Thank you very much for your support!
Sorry, I was not very clear before.... I would like the value of the dropdown menu to be shown and stored in my textbox, which is in the same page.

Do you know how to do it?

Thank you again.

Davide

It follows the PHP program I am using:

$websitepassword="**************";
$returnwebsite=*********************************** ****;

// HOW TO CONFIGURE YOUR IMRESERVE SOFTWARE ----------
// ( SETTINGS > EDIT SETTINGS > WEBSITE TAB)
// website update URL ----- is the web address of this file ( e.g. www.yourhotel.com/booking.php )
// website password ----- the password as you entered above

if (isset($_GET['test'])){
if (strtoupper(md5($websitepassword))==$_GET['password']){

exit;

exit;

Should the value displayed in the textbox change at the same time you change the value of the dropdown menu? (Even if you did not click on "Book Now" yet?)

Hi Trey

Yes, nice idea!

Thanks

**lizciz** · 10-03-2009, 05:40 PM

I think what Trey was getting at here was, then you need to use Javascript instead, since php is run at the server you can't dynamically change anything after the page has loaded, without reloading it (i.e. by sending a form).

Exactly.

If I got the problem right, then you need some kind of client-side language (like Javascript). If you did it with PHP, you would have to click "Book Now" (and reload the page) to make the value of the dropdown list visible in the textbox. But I don't think that's what you really want.

Hi Guys,

I understand the problem... I will figure something out!

Thank you anyway for your support

We can still help you, if that's what you want. We were just not sure of what the problem was, and we probably still are not. Do you want the php or Javascript solution? :P

Hi Guys,

My problem is that, as I wrote you at the beginning, I have no idea of any computer languages, so, if you ask me what solution I want: "the PHP or Javascript", my answer is: whatever solution is able to copy the value from the drop-down menu and paste into the text-box, without, of course, the need to reload the page...
If I well understood the problem, I cannot achieve this through the PHP script, so, I must go for the JavaScript solution.

Now, I also do not know where exactly add, in that program I published above, the script you will eventually come out with!

Those are my problem abdidalem....

Guys, I really appreciate your willingness to help me, and I know that you need more detailed explanations of my request in order to find a solution, but, unfortunately, I cannot give you any more details than those I have already given you .

If you feel that what I asked is too much work for you... it is fine with me!

Thanks

Davide

Go here this is a java script that will do what you need and the install instruction should be enough to get you through
