splitting <SELECT> drop down values

hi guys

Sorry for posting a question that has undoubtedly been answered many times before... I'm just a bit stuck trying to figure it out.

I have a <SELECT> list, which brings in values from the database - the option name and the price ($row_rstGetOptions)

http://www.rtmedia.co.uk/test/davidhayward/product_Details.php?product_ID=22

I can get the name to bind to $ATC_itemName, but can't get the price to bind to $ATC_itemPrice as the price comes from the same <SELECT> list...

Here's my relevant code, thanks for all your help:


$ATC_itemID = $_POST["eCart1_1_ID_Add"];
$ATC_AddIfIn = 2;
$ATC_RedirectAfter = "cart.php";
$ATC_RedirectIfIn = "";
if (isset($totalRows_rstProduct) && $totalRows_rstProduct > 0) {
$row_rstProduct = WAEC_findRecordMySQL($rstProduct, "product_ID", $ATC_itemID);
if ($row_rstProduct) {
$ATC_itemName = "".$row_rstProduct['name'] ." - ". $row_rstGetOptions['option'] . "";// column binding
$ATC_itemDescription = "";// column binding
$ATC_itemThumbnail = "";// column binding
$ATC_itemWeight = floatval("0");// column binding
$ATC_itemQuantity = "".$_POST["eCart1_1_Quantity_Add"] ."";// column binding
$ATC_itemPrice = "".$_POST["eCart1_1_Price_Add"] ."";// column binding


<select name="eCart1_1_Price_Add">
<?php
do {
?>
<option value="<?php echo $row_rstGetOptions['price']?>"><?php echo $row_rstGetOptions['option']?></option>
<?php
} while ($row_rstGetOptions = mysql_fetch_assoc($rstGetOptions));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($rstGetOptions);
if($rows > 0) {
mysql_data_seek($rstGetOptions, 0);
$row_rstGetOptions = mysql_fetch_assoc($rstGetOptions);
}
?>
</select>

I would probably set the value of the list to the ID column from the database. Then create a second recordset to look up the row based on the submitted ID. That way you would have access to any of the fields in that row through the second recordset.

thanks for your help Ray - not sure place to place that recordset though...


I've set the select list value to the Options Recordset ID :

<option value="<?php echo $row_rstGetOptions['option_ID']?>">


then created a recordset to pull in the posted value:

I've put it before the Add To Cart behaviour:

$colname_rstGetOption = "-1";
if (isset($_POST['option_ID'])) {
$colname_rstGetOption = $_POST['option_ID'];
}
mysql_select_db($database_hayward, $hayward);
$query_rstGetOption = sprintf("SELECT * FROM OPTIONS WHERE option_ID = %s", GetSQLValueString($colname_rstGetOption, "int"));
$rstGetOption = mysql_query($query_rstGetOption, $hayward) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rstGetOption = mysql_fetch_assoc($rstGetOption);
$totalRows_rstGetOption = mysql_num_rows($rstGetOption);


then set the add to cart code to bring in those recordset values

$ATC_itemName = "".$row_rstProduct['name'] ." - ". $row_rstGetOption['option'] . "";// column binding
$ATC_itemDescription = "";// column binding
$ATC_itemThumbnail = "";// column binding
$ATC_itemWeight = floatval("0");// column binding
$ATC_itemQuantity = "".$_POST["eCart1_1_Quantity_Add"] ."";// column binding
$ATC_itemPrice = "".$row_rstGetOption['price'] ."";// column binding
