I got a tutorial request from my website reader, he asked to “Keep values selected after form submission in PHP”. In this tutorial, I will share the simple code to keep form values selected in textbox after form submission.
Let’s start to create an example for this. Copy the below code and change it as per your requirement.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | <?php $example = $_POST["example"]; ?> <form method="post"> <select name="example"> <option <?php if (isset($example) && $example=="a") echo "selected";?>>a</option> <option <?php if (isset($example) && $example=="b") echo "selected";?>>b</option> <option <?php if (isset($example) && $example=="c") echo "selected";?>>c</option> </select> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" /> </form> |
Here is another way to keep selected values after form submitted using JavaScript code. This code will avoid the many if else statement in your code. simply set the form fields value in ID and use that ID in your form fields.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | <select name="name" id="name"> <option value="a">a</option> <option value="b">b</option> </select> <script type="text/javascript"> document.getElementById('name').value = "<?php echo $_GET['name'];?>"; </script> |
