The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

php drop down list onChange not submitting the form

Asked by cyberwebservice in PHP Scripting Language, Web Languages/Standards

Hi,
This is a very simple code where I am populating a drop down list from mysql table PERIODS and upon selecting the value from the drop down, I want the starttime and endtime fields filled from the table PERIODS. Then the details are entered into another table on clicking the submit button.

I thought this is very simple and can be finished in 20 to 30 minutes. But I am struggling with this for more than 2 hours because the drop down change event does not do anything. I tried many variations and nothing works.

I don't want to use AJAX here, because, this code is to demonstrate to a beginner coder.  Also, if you find anything insecure in the code, please feel free to tell me.

Thanks.
