Option Attributes "Please Select"

[Guest]

The problem is that I can add all the options on the products I want BUT, lets say for whatever reason the user never sees the "PLEASE SELECT" option. I want an alert to go off telling them they must choose a selection before they can add the product to the cart.

 

I added a line of code in the products_options_array to show "Please Select" across the board. I think I need some kind of alert function or something to make this do what I want it too. Could anyone please help?

 

					 <tr>
				   <td><?php
$products_attributes_query = tep_db_query("select count(*) as total from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS . " popt, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES . " patrib where patrib.products_id='" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'] . "' and patrib.options_id = popt.products_options_id and popt.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "'");
$products_attributes = tep_db_fetch_array($products_attributes_query);
if ($products_attributes['total'] > 0) {
?>
					 <?php
}
?>
					 <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
					 <tr>
					   <td class="main" colspan="2"><?php echo TEXT_PRODUCT_OPTIONS; ?></td>
					 </tr>
					 <?php
  $products_options_name_query = tep_db_query("select distinct popt.products_options_id, popt.products_options_name from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS . " popt, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES . " patrib where patrib.products_id='" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'] . "' and patrib.options_id = popt.products_options_id and popt.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' order by popt.products_options_name");
  while ($products_options_name = tep_db_fetch_array($products_options_name_query)) {
	$products_options_array = array();
// CODING I ADDED
	if (TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS < 2) {
	$products_options_array[] = array('id' => '', 'text' => PULL_DOWN_DEFAULT);
	}
// CODING I ADDED END
	$products_options_query = tep_db_query("select pov.products_options_values_id, pov.products_options_values_name, pa.options_values_price, pa.price_prefix from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES . " pa, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_VALUES . " pov where pa.products_id = '" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'] . "' and pa.options_id = '" . (int)$products_options_name['products_options_id'] . "' and pa.options_values_id = pov.products_options_values_id and pov.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "'". " order by pov.products_options_values_id");
	while ($products_options = tep_db_fetch_array($products_options_query)) {
	  $products_options_array[] = array('id' => $products_options['products_options_values_id'], 'text' => $products_options['products_options_values_name']);
	  if ($products_options['options_values_price'] != '0') {
		$products_options_array[sizeof($products_options_array)-1]['text'] .= ' (' . $products_options['price_prefix'] . $currencies->display_price($products_options['options_values_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($product_info['products_tax_class_id'])) .') ';
	  }
	}
	if (isset($cart->contents[$HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']]['attributes'][$products_options_name['products_options_id']])) {
	  $selected_attribute = $cart->contents[$HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']]['attributes'][$products_options_name['products_options_id']];
	} else {
	  $selected_attribute = false;
	}
?>

 

 

~P.s. I have tried the "Require Select in osCommerce mod" the problem with it is you can only do ONE id select. I have more than one option so this mod doesn't really work for me.
