TOPIC: Populate items of a catid in dropdown

Populate items of a catid in dropdown 16 years 6 months ago #5664

For putting the title of all the content items of catid 34 in a dropdown, I found this code:
//<code>
$items = "|Please Select[c]\\n";
$rez = mysql_query("SELECT catid_34,title FROM jos_content"

Hello,

Here's a little fix:
//<code>
$items ="|Please Select[c]\\n";
$rez = mysql_query("SELECT id,catid,title FROM jos_content WHERE catid='34'"

Woow! It works, also with the title. Thanks a lot.

I got it with one empty (the last) item. Why is that? I removed the break in items.

I'm not really sure why that's happening. If the last item is empty, you can set this field as required and it will force the user to select something else.

Hello,
This code should work:
$rez = mysql_query("SELECT id,catid,title FROM jos_content WHERE catid='34' AND state = '1'"

OK, would this work for what I want:

I want a user to enter an office location, and have several of the form fields auto-populate items such as office location, manager, etc.

Do I use the script area for this?

The two characters before the close parenthesis aren't displaying properly for me. Can you tell me what they are?

I would like to know what those characters should be as well. Also where do I place this \"code\" to work?
