Problem with a drop down menu, help appreciated

PHP
1

The drop down menu is not showing the things it should, code is

							<?php echo form_label(lang('tips_select_sport') . lang('bf_form_label_required'), 'sport_id', array('class' => 'control-label')); ?>
							<select name="sport_id" id="sport_id" class="form-control">
								<option value=""><?php echo lang('tips_select_sport');?></option>
								<?php foreach ($sports->result() as $row) {
									$sel = ($row->id==set_value('sport_id'))?'selected="selected"':'';
									?>
									<option value="<?php echo $row->id;?>" <?php echo $sel;?>><?php echo $row->name;?></option>
								<?php }?>
							</select>
							<span class='help-block'><?php echo form_error('sport_id'); ?></span>
						</div>
					</div>

What is wrong with what it shows? Does it leave stuff out, or display in the wrong format, or what?

3

It leaves all the stuff out, the only part that is there is the title

4

OK. What is $sports here, can you show where that was built?

5

If you go to http://www,livefootballtips.com you can log in with demo1 for both name and password, click on name then post new tip and you will see the problem I have

6

Yes, but I won’t be able to see the code for how you build the list.

7

$sports are the different sports I can select in the backend which was built in the database

8

Im sorry I am quite new to this, I was hoping you may have spotted something wrong in the code or something

Well, I guessed that. Your loop seems to iterate through that variable, and as I can’t see any specific issue in the code you posted, that suggests there is an issue in the way that the $sports variable was built.

10

Without sounding stupid! how do I check that?

11

I don’t know. Further up in your code there will be something that runs a query to retrieve the list of available sports. I’m guessing you are using some kind of framework here, unfortunately I have no knowledge of such things so can’t help further.

ok well thanks for trying, cheers
