PHP combobox can't save the selected value on Edit Page
- by bEtTy Barnes
hello I've got problem with my combobox. It's not saving the selected value in Edit page.
Here what I'm working with:
private function inputCAR(){
$html = "";
$selectedId = $this->CAR;
//$html .= '<option value="Roadmap Accelerator - Core">Roadmap Accelerator - Core</option>';
//$html .= '<option value="Roadmap Accelerator - Optional Core">Roadmap Accelerator - Optional Core</option>';
//$html .= '<option value="Regulatory">Regulatory</option>';
//$html .= '<option value="Mission Critical">Mission Critical</option>';
//$html .= '<option value="Various CARs/Types">Various CARs/types</option>';
$selection = array(
"Roadmap Accelerator - Core",
"Roadmap Accelerator - Optional Core",
"Regulatory",
"Mission Critical",
"Various CARs/types" );
$html .= '<label for="car">CAR Type</label>';
$html .= HTML::selectStart("car");
foreach($selection as $value){
$text = $value;
$html .= HTML::option($value, $text, $selectedId == $value ? true : false);
}
$html .= HTML::selectEnd();
return $html;
}
My option function:
public static function option($value, $text, $isSelected=false) {
$html = '<option value="' . $value . '"';
if($isSelected) {
$html .= ' selected="selected"';
}
$html .= '>';
$html .= $text;
$html .= '</option>';
return $html;
}
When I first created a record. The selected value from my combobox got saved into the DB then the page refreshed to display. When I went to edit page, to select another value, and clicked save button. On the display page, it's not saving.
For example.
on Create page I selected Regulatory. then I changed my mind and changed it to Mission Critical on Edit page. On display page it is not changed.
I don't know what's wrong or what I'm missing here. Any help is welcome and truly appreciated. Thanks.
