Hello,
I came across following problem. I need to sort content by categories on my web page. Just like in bytes.com. User chooses area that is related to his / her question (PHP, JavaScript, HTML etc.) So when someone clicks on PHP section He / She only sees Posts related to Selected category (PHP Category).
I need to make something similar for my website, where user enters his content and than selects option. So selected option than get's stored in database and Then I can filter content by categories to show on my website.
I will attach image to explain it in more depth. http://bytes.com/attachment.php?atta...1&d=1305454554
I don't understand how to make part 2 and part 3 of this process. I know how to make field with options, but how do I store them in database and how do I filter by categories after?
Please let me know if you need more explanation.
Thank You

You Can do it in Simple old HTML Method.
step 1: When the page is load for the first time -
if(isset($_POST['Category'])==true)
-
{
-
$Category=$_POST['Category'];
-
}
-
else $Category="";
-
/*
-
Create Slelect view
-
*/
-
if($Category!='')
-
{
-
/*
-
Select Second View
-
*/
-
-
//and so on. You will have to do a little clever programming which must disturb the user.
-
}
-
Or I Will Suggest you to consider AJAX.
What is Ajax?
In a simple word Ajax is newly(not new anymore) added method to send request to the server dynamically . Server will response normally.
In general When we request for a page Browser regenerate the document. But In Case of Ajax. You are the one to choose at what part you want to make the modification.
First Try To understand Ajax.
It will solve your all question here
Hello,
Thank you for reply, but I think you misunderstood me, because you suggested ajax. I don't need to update anything on the page. What I needed help with is different. I would like to know how to store selected option in database.
For Example:
User goes on my webpage and want's to post article, he writes the article and choses category from <select> list and then clicks submit button. How do I send selected option to database than?
I was thinking about making field in database and setting it to TEXT. then I would put values in which are categories names (for example Music, Arts, Cars ...)
But I cant figure whole process out, as I'm still new to server side programing. Here is what I have so far. -
<?php
-
include_once "scripts/connect_to_mysql.php";
-
?>
-
<!doctype html>
-
<head>
-
</head>
-
<body>
-
-
<select name="Category" class="formFields" id="Category">
-
<option value="01">Option 1</option>
-
<option value="02">Option 2</option>
-
<option value="03">Option 3</option>
-
<option value="04">Option 4</option>
-
<option value="05">Other</option>
-
</select>
-
-
</body>
-
</html>
-
I need to understand how to store selected option in database.
Thank You )))

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
