Hi Everyone,
I have this file 'gardens.php', which pulls data from a table called 'generalinfo' and I use fopen to send that data to a file called 'index.html'. Here is the issue, only one option is filled. I have a demo running here Garden Demo <-- this is a new updated page and location, there are more errors than I have locally If anyone could help me fix them Username:stack1 Password:stack1
Is there a better way to achieve what I want to?
Thanks! Always.
GARDENS.PHP
<?php
    include("connect.php");
    $results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM generalinfo");
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($results)){
    $country = $row['country'];
    $province = $row['province'];
    $city = $row['city'];
    $address = $row['address'];
    //echo $country;
    //echo $province;
    //echo $city;
    //echo $address;
}
    $fd = fopen("index.html","r") or die ("Can not fopen the file");
        while ($buf =fgets($fd, 1024)){
            $template .= $buf;
        }
    $template = str_replace("<%country%>",$country,$template);
    echo $template;
?>
INDEX.PHP SNIPPET
<form name="filter" method="get" action="filter.php">
    <select class="country" name="country">
        <option><%country%></option>
    </select>
</form>
