Form dropdown list - pierre - 08-30-2017
Hi
I would like to have a dropdown list in a form in US 4.2.9. How can I create this? Is it as simple as using HTML select? Keep in mind I don't have any PHP knowledge.
Thanks
Pierre

You got it!
Simple as an HTML Select.
Similar to a name or ID for a input of text, it will only take the value you select as the value for this input.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Yep. If you need help, don't be afraid to ask.
Also, since you're new, you'll probably want this primer on using Php to work with the database.

Great, thanks mudmin.

I'm afraid I'm getting stuck. Here's where I am:
<label for="street">Residential address* (e.g. 1)</label>
<SELECT class="form-control" name="streetlist" form="payment-form">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="Street1">1</option>
<option value="Street2">2</option>
</SELECT>
<input class="form-control" maxlength="13" type="text" name="street" id="street" value="<?php if (!$form_valid && !empty($_POST)){ echo $street;} ?>" required >
I made the 1st <option> blank as an attempt to have the person select a street instead of leaving it at default.
The page still displays the original input field AND now a select box. So I remove the <input> section leaving:
<label for="street">Residential address* (e.g. 1)</label>
<SELECT class="form-control" name="streetlist" form="payment-form">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="Street1">1</option>
<option value="Street2">2</option>
</SELECT>
Now I've lost the php required validation. Some more messing around and found this to work:
<label for="street">Residential address* (e.g. 1 Douglas Carr)</label>
<SELECT class="form-control" name="streetlist" form="payment-form" value="<?php if (!$form_valid && !empty($_POST)){ echo $street;} ?>" required >
<SELECT class="form-control" name="streetlist" form="payment-form">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="Street1">1</option>
<option value="Street2">2</option>
</SELECT>
Problem solved. Happiness. Well, almost

OK, problem not solved. On testing my solution above:
<label for=”street”>Residential address* (e.g. 1 Douglas Carr)</label>
<SELECT class=”form-control” name=”streetlist” form=”payment-form” value=”<?php if (!$form_valid && !empty($_POST)){ echo $street;} ?>” required >
<SELECT class=”form-control” name=”streetlist” form=”payment-form”>
<option value=””></option>
<option value=”Street1″>1</option>
<option value=”Street2″>2</option>
</SELECT>
I now get error "Street is required". This is presumably because the php required check is before the <select>.
I'm in your hands, folks - how to get the <select> to work with validation? I will need the exact code I think.
Thanks!

One thing you should do is add the "required" attribute to your select:
Code:
<select class="form-control" name="streetlist" form="payment-form" required >Your validation imo should just be required, like this:

Thanks Brandin but that did not do the trick.
I added a couple of fields to users/views/_join.php
Added these fields in users/join.php as well.
I pasted users/join.php here

Thanks for your help so far!

As a test I commented out the <select> and reverted to the <input>. That works. So the problem is only with the <select> portion.

Your issue is that you did call the inputs in your post
Right after the post opens you see things like
Code:
$username = Input::get('username')
