Hi Guys
I need some help. I am trying to modify a website which is based on template engines and I am not sure how to do the following.
I have added a drop down box to the header.tmp and the form action posts the user selection (user_loc) to another form (loc.php). Loc.php updates the database with the user selection and then queries the same database to 'look up' the current value of user_loc so that it can be inserted as the default selection in the listbox for the current session and all subsequent sessions. So in effect, whenever the user makes a selection it is written to the database and that selection becomes the users default setting forever unless he changes it.
The problem is that I do not know how to get the looked up value of user_loc back into the header.tmp so it can be set as that users default selection. If I tell loc.php to process the header.tmp it does not have all the required variables because it was only designed to parse the user_loc variable.
Any help would be appreciated. I can paste my code on request.
Cheers
EJ
