#286 Computer_type Dropdown will not retain data

[Anonymous]

IRM 1.5.7 on Ubuntu Dapper LAMP: MySQL version 5.0.22,PHP 5

System: Gigabyte/Athlon 64 1 gb ram

While all other dropdown items perform as expected in
added inventory, the computer_type dropdown does not
retain the set value in the inventoried item. It
reverts to the first entry in the field. This seemed to
occur after 12 items were inventoried correctly, all
other items default to the first item in the dropdown.
subsequent edits on any inventoried item cause this to
happen.

Had this problem also (Fedora 5). Upgrading to 1.5.8-dev
seems to have fixed the problem.

But in version 1.5.7 it doesn't works. What is the patch?

I test it on Ubuntu Server (Dapper), and I discover the
problem appears with PHP5. When you enable PHP4 it works
fine, but with PHP5 there is a problem.

In the DB it save well, but when IRM show computer
information, the type doesn't appear well. It show the the
first entry in the field. So if you modify and update
without change to the correct value: the database change ;)

I had the same problem on PHP5 running MAMP.

Managed to fix it by adding the following line to the
showComputer($ID, $expand) function in
/include/computers.functions.php:

$type = $result["type"];

Added this line below $date_mod = $result["date_mod"]; about
9 lines into the function.
