    <p>I need the values of form inputs to be populated by the sql database. My code works great for all text and textarea inputs but I can't figure out how to assign the database value to the drop down lists eg. 'Type of property' below. It revolves around getting the 'option selected' to represent the value held in the database.</p> <p>Here is my code:</p> <pre><code>$result = $db-&gt;sql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."_users WHERE userid='$userid'"); $row = $db-&gt;sql_fetchrow($result); echo "&lt;center&gt;&lt;font class=\"title\"&gt;"._CHANGE_MY_INFORMATION."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br&gt;\n"; echo "&lt;center&gt;".All." ".fields." ".must." ".be." ".filled." &lt;form name=\"EditMyInfoForm\" method=\"POST\" action=\"users.php\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\"&gt; &lt;table align=\"center\" border=\"0\" width=\"720\" id=\"table1\" cellpadding=\"2\" bordercolor=\"#C0C0C0\"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align=\"right\"&gt;".Telephone." :&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;input type=\"text\" name=\"telephone\" size=\"27\" value=\"$row[telephone]\"&gt; Inc. dialing codes &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align=\"right\"&gt;".Type." ".of." ".property." ".required." :&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Select from list: &lt;select name=\"req_type\" value=\"$row[req_type]\"&gt; &lt;option&gt;House&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Bungalow&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Flat/Apartment&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Studio&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Villa&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option&gt;Any&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; .... </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
