[PEAR:QuickForm] Dynamically Change A Dropdown Menu According To Another Menu?
I've been using QuickForm for a few months now and I am now given a new challenge: I've got a search form with a dozen of dropdown menus, the first dropdown menu being "Brand". If you select either Brand A, B, C, D... Z, the second dropdown menu "Model" must be dynamically changed to model AA, AB, AC, AD..., according to the models manufactured by the brand selected in the first box. I've seen that done on quite a few sites, but never found if QuickForm had a quick & clean way of doing that.

2 Questions. Dropdown Menu And # Of Rows.
1. I have a table named pics and a column named name, just to let you know for use. I want to take the data from each row in the name column and insert it into a dropdown menu. I know how I could do it, but I would have to go: Code: <SELECT NAME="name" SIZE="1"> <OPTION SELECTED><?php $name[10 ?> <OPTION><?php $name[1] ?> <OPTION><?php $name[2] ?> <OPTION><?php $name[3] ?> <OPTION><?php $name[4] ?> <OPTION><?php $name[5] ?> <OPTION><?php $name[6] ?> </SELECT> but then I could make too many or too less. I want it to automatically adjust to the number of rows. 2.What is the code needed to find out how many rows are in a table?

Unwanted URLs In URL Dropdown Menu
I'm working on a PHP script and it has a user login, and the variables (username, password, id number) are passed via the URL bar. Is it possible to somehow not allow the visited page show up in the dropdown list of URLs in the browser? The problem is that people can view the list and easily see people's usernames and passwords. Example: http://www.somesite.com?username=john&password=12345 What I only want is: http://www.somesite.com/ I know that Hotmail.com doesn't show all of the pages that have been visited, all it shows in the list is hotmail.com, so I think it is possible to do this, but I don't know how.

And then when the person selects the name of the member and presses submit, it deletes the row with that name from the table and the database.
