Hi Im a newbie here,

I made a form with a dropdown list and I wanted to show a particular result in just one page

here for example:

in the dropdown list

Agriculture
Management
Business
Marketing

if a user selected Agriculture.

a page will show only results with Agriculture and same with the other list with their own results.

thanks

Hi geeknet,

The basic methodology is to create a form in the Header section - then use the results of the form to build a MySQL WHERE query in the Where box. In this case the Where might be just

<?php
$area = JRequest::getString('area', 'some_default_value', 'post);
echo " WHERE `area` = '$area' ";
?>

and the selection is Agriculture

Hi Roy,

The WHERE code would look like:

<?php
$area = JRequest::getString('select_13', 'some_default_value', 'post);
echo " WHERE `column_name` = '$area' ";
?>
