Based on what I saw in http://opensource.platon.sk/forum/projects/viewtopic.php?t=31392

....

I have a field called " currency " with posible values "USD", "EUR", "GBP", etc.

I want to use the value of that field in the name of other field. I have a field called " amount " whose code is:

Code:
$opts['fdd']['amount'] = array(
  'default'    => '',
  'input'      => '',
  'maxlen'     => 15,
  'name|FLX'   => 'Amount',
  'name|ACPDV' => 'Amount (Currency: PMEtable0.currency)', 
  'options'    => 'ACPVDFLX',
  'select'     => 'T',
  'size|ACP'   => 12,
  'sqlw'       => 'TRIM("$val_as")',
  'escape'     => false,   
  'sort'       => true
);


However I get:

Amount (Currency: PMEtable0.currency)

Instead of

Amount (Currency: USD)

Amount (Currency: EUR)

Amount (Currency: GBP)

etc. etc.

What am I missing? (PLEASE HELP ME)

Thanks very much in advance

PD: I have aldo tried to put ."PMEtable0.currency". and things like that with no success.

That is not exactly what I wanted. However i realize what I want is very likely to be impossible so that I have used it and now I have it in a way very similar to what I wanted.

Cheers again!

I got a solution. I guess it is not the most efficient one, but at least it works for my case:

Code:
$recordid = @$_REQUEST['PME_sys_rec'];
$query_filenumber = 'SELECT file_number FROM a_system_offers_lmr WHERE id='.$recordid;
$result_1 = mysql_query($query_filenumber) or die ("No se ha podido ejecutar al consulta sobre la Base de Datos.");
$result_2 = mysql_fetch_array($result_1);
$result_3=$result_2[file_number];


So now that I have the value of the field "file_name" (of the current record) stored in $result_3, I can use it almost everywhere. For instance in the description of a another field:

Code:
'name' => 'Date of Filenumber: '.$result_3,

There is a little "error" in the code i posted before: The update of the description is delayed. I mean, you need to save twice to see the results.

In my case it is not important, but take it into account for other cases!
