Greetings All,
I am currently writing an application that has two tables.
Tables = CONTENT and THEME_IMAGE
CONTENT FIELDS = id, title, description, theme_id
THEME_IMAGE FIELDS = theme_id, title, filename
===================================
I have already written a script to output information from both tables. However, I am now working on a script to UPDATE the database from the web browser.
The CONTENT table is used to store information about an article. Each article has a theme image, but many articles can use the same theme image, hence the need for separate THEME_IMAGE table.
Now, when I go to edit the CONTENT article, there is a <select> field which should display ALL the contents from THEME_IMAGE table. This is so that when a user is editing the CONTENT article, they can select a new THEME IMAGE if one hasn’t been selected already.
Now, the problem I am getting is I don’t know how to interlink two tables (CONTENT + IMAGE_THEME) so that the user can see the IMAGE_THEME Image Title in the <select> <option> tags, and when they choose it, the “id” is written to the CONTENT theme_id table so that it can be referenced later.
Also, if there is a theme image already choosen, it should display that.
[code] <td>Theme Image:</td>
<td><select name=’Theme_Image’>
<? if($onecontent->Theme_Image!=””) { ?>
<option SELECTED value='<?php echo($Theme_Image); ?>’> <?php echo($Theme_Image); ?> </option>
<? } else {?>
<option value=”> No Theme_Image </option>
<? }?>
<?php
$sql = “select * from theme_image order by Theme_Title”;
$images = mysql_query($sql, $db);
while($oneimage = mysql_fetch_object($images))
{
echo (“<option value=’$oneimage->File’>$oneimage->Theme_Title</option>”);
}
?>
</select>
</td>
