<?php
if ( $form->data['select'] == '1') {
  $db =& JFactory::getDBO();
  $query = 'UPDATE `jos_chronoforms` SET `content` = '<div class="ccms_form_element cfdiv_select multiline_start multiline_add" id="select_container_div"><label for="select">SELECT</label><select size="1" id="select" class="" title="" name="select"><option value="2">2</option><option value="3">3</option><option value="4">4</option></select><div class="clear"></div><div id="error-message-select"></div></div><div class="ccms_form_element cfdiv_submit" id="autoID-637e4a043cb63f2fc21335a1ede89e29_container_div"><input name="input_submit_12" class="" value="INVIA" type="submit" /><div class="clear"></div><div id="error-message-input_submit_12"></div></div>';
";
$db->setQuery($query);
$db->query();
}
?>

Data Array:

    [select] => 1
    [input_submit_12] => INVIA
    [039b288a50a4cb123270bd937576cb37] => 1

            [Itemid] => 
            [id] => 52
        )

    [content_id] => 52
)

nothing happen, it only create a new table in jos_chornoform with null value in the db
Help me please.

Hi solfri,

Don't **ever** try to amend a form like this - there's a 99% probability that it will break.

Save the options in a database table or a text file and use the Dynamic Data tab to create the Select drop down options. Delete the selected one with a simple MySQL query in a Custom action. Then next time you'll juet get the new option list.

Please Bob can you give me a simple pratice example? im very confused. thanks.

Hi solfri,

I can try but please explain to me exactly what you want to have happen with this form? What kind of options are these and why do you want them to be deleted?

This will help me work out a good way to solve it.

Bob

Simple.
a form with select box with some option:
1=1
2=2
3=3
4=4
and submit button
i wanna make like a exlusion
every time peple select a value
in the tanks message i wanna put
Tanks, you choice is stored.
after if someone open the same page with form
