Multiple Select List

Hello,

I created a SelectList but how do I store the values with DA in my table?

When I do it like that only the first selection is stored in the table :-(

<?php require_once('database/IchBinMusiker.php'); ?>
<?php require_once("WA_DataAssist/WA_AppBuilder_PHP.php"); ?>
<?php
if (!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;
}
}

mysql_select_db($database_IchBinMusiker, $IchBinMusiker);
$query_genre = "SELECT * FROM genre ORDER BY genre ASC";
$genre = mysql_query($query_genre, $IchBinMusiker) or die(mysql_error());
$row_genre = mysql_fetch_assoc($genre);
$totalRows_genre = mysql_num_rows($genre);

mysql_select_db($database_IchBinMusiker, $IchBinMusiker);
$query_profil = "SELECT profileid, genre FROM profile WHERE profileid = 5";
$profil = mysql_query($query_profil, $IchBinMusiker) or die(mysql_error());
$row_profil = mysql_fetch_assoc($profil);
$totalRows_profil = mysql_num_rows($profil);?>
<?php

mysql_select_db($WA_connectionDB, $WA_connection);
if (!session_id()) session_start();
$updateParamsObj = WA_AB_generateInsertParams($WA_fieldNames, $WA_columns, $WA_fieldValues, -1);
$WhereObj = WA_AB_generateWhereClause($WA_where_fieldNames, $WA_where_columns, $WA_where_fieldValues, $WA_where_comparisons );
$WA_Sql = "UPDATE `" . $WA_table . "` SET " . $updateParamsObj->WA_setValues . " WHERE " . $WhereObj->sqlWhereClause . "";

You need to use the DataAssist -> Update -> Multiple Record Updates Server Behaviour at the moment you are using the Single Record Update according to the code you posted.

Hi Dave,

I dont know how to do taht. I set the name of the select box to an array like, instruments[]

and I store the value with serialize() in my table.

but I cant get it back into the select box. I tried it with unserialize() but it does not work :-(

you can find the server behaviour I am referring to here:



There is also a Insert and Delete equivalent.

hi dave,

thats not what i need, i dont have a repeat selection and i dont need one. its like that:

<select name="instrumente[]" size="4" multiple="multiple" >
<?php
do {
?><option value="<?php echo $row_instr['instrumentid']?>"<?php if (!(strcmp($row_instr['instrumentid'], implode(',', unserialize($row_profil['instrument']))))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_instr['instrument']?></option>
<?php
} while ($row_instr = mysql_fetch_assoc($instr));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($instr);
if($rows > 0) {
mysql_data_seek($instr, 0);
$row_instr = mysql_fetch_assoc($instr);
}
?>
</select>



its just a list where you can choose more than 1 thing.

i already know how to store, but dont know how to give it back to the list :-(

I use this server behaviour to do multiple selections exactly as you are looking for all the time in my admin sections e.g.



and within the Update Server Behaviour there is the facility to populate the form with the existing entries.

where do you put the repeat selection? do I need one?

and the problem is, I got 2 diffrent lists in 1 form.

the update server behaviour handles all that for you, you can have both a multiple update and a normal data assist update on the same page if you need, just make sure the 2nd one in terms of code order does the redirect

hi dave,

now i am a little bit confused.

so, i can have 2 multiselect lists in my page. just add a multi update for each list?

and, i need to put a repeat region around every list?

here is an excerpt from a form in the admin section of one of my sites that has two multi select lists in it:

php:
<div>

    <label class="required" for="categories">Associated Categories<em title="Required">*</em></label>
    <select name="categories[]" size="10" multiple id="categories">
        <?php
do {  
?>
        <option value="<?php echo $row_rsCategories['id']?>"<?php if (!(strcmp($row_rsCategories['id'], WA_AB_returnPreSelectValue($WA_PreSelect_RelationalTable_1$row_rsCategories['id'])))) {echo " selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_rsCategories['title']?></option>
        <?php
} while ($row_rsCategories mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories));
$rows mysql_num_rows($rsCategories);
if(
$rows 0) {
mysql_data_seek($rsCategories0);
$row_rsCategories mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories);
}
?>
    </select>
</div>
<div>
    <label class="required"  for="prodtypes">Associated Product Types<em title="Required">*</em></label>
    <select name="prodtypes[]" size="10" multiple id="prodtypes">
        <?php
do {  
?>
        <option value="<?php echo $row_rsProdTypes['id']?>"<?php if (!(strcmp($row_rsProdTypes['id'], WA_AB_returnPreSelectValue($WA_PreSelect_RelationalTable_2$row_rsProdTypes['id'])))) {echo " selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_rsProdTypes['title']?></option>
        <?php
} while ($row_rsProdTypes mysql_fetch_assoc($rsProdTypes));
$rows mysql_num_rows($rsCategories);
if(
$rows 0) {
mysql_data_seek($rsProdTypes0);
$row_rsProdTypes mysql_fetch_assoc($rsProdTypes);
}
?>
    </select>
</div>



does that make things clearer ?
