I am trying to make an select field
for data according to my database. So, basically, I want it to have a dropdown menu for all the users in my database. So like instead of doing:
<select>
<option>1st User in Db</option>
<option>2nd User in Db</option>
</select>
It just automatically shows all.
I tried fetching a $row['uname'], and setting it as $user, but then it only shows MY user in the dropdown.
Example: http://prntscr.com/dwksy
It only shows my account, admin, instead of all the other ones. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks!
<?php
session_start();
include 'config.php';
$user = $_SESSION['username'];
$qry=("SELECT `rank`, `uname` FROM users WHERE uname='$user'");
$result=mysql_query($qry);
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
$rank = $row["rank"]
if ($_SESSION['loggedin'] == true) {
if ($rank >= 3) {
$qry=("SELECT `rank`, `uname` FROM users");
$result=mysql_query($qry);
echo "
<form action='' method='POST'>
<select>";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$rank = $row['rank'];
$users = $row['uname'];
$lol = ucwords($users);
echo "<option>$lol</option>";
}
echo "</select>
</form>
";
} else {
echo "Your level is not 3, but you are logged in.";
}
} else {
echo "Please login.";
}
Your query only fetches the user recorded in $_SESSION
. Drop the WHERE clause to get all users in the result, then read them with @andrewsi's loop and spit out one <option>
for each user returned:
$qry=("SELECT `rank`, `uname` FROM users");
