Drop Down Menu Select And Populating Data Fields
I have a PHP/MySQL Content Management System set up for the job I work at. It's basically a shift program that lets users pick up shifts, post shifts, etc.
The data fields are tied to the shift ID which is selected from a dynamically populated drop down box. However, I cannot get the data fields to be updated when I select a new value and I cannot get the form to accept the new selected Shift ID. I have tried using JavaScript but cannot quite get it to work. Code:

Populating Drop Down Fields
I am trying to populate a drop down menu with a mysql database. I was hoping to have a selection of months in the dropdown menu, based on date fields in my database when a user then selects a month, they will be brought to a new page that will have only the records created in that month. But in my database, the date is stored in this format: 2006-05-12 00:00:00 if you need to see my code, here it is: <? //database connection $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM casinocredit"); // start to print out the form echo "<form action="cats.php" method="POST"><select name="clients"><option value="" "selected">Select A Client</option>"; // loop through the records while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { echo "<option value="{$row['ID']}">{$row['ddate']}</option>"; }.........

Chain Menu But The Menu Should Be Multiple Select Menu/list
I am looking for codes to be able to do the same thing with multiple select menu/list. PHP codes or javascripts codes are both fine. 1) javascript + php approach: Prefer to be javascripts codes to display the chain menu. I can use the php to get the all three levels menu data from the database, and assign these values to the javascript. 2) php codes only: Or use the pure php codes (the problem is if just using php codes then I have to submit the form to the server every time, when top level menu select changes to create new menu.).

Populating Drop Down And Table
I have a database with the following fields. Name | Company | Date values in each column could be repeated, or not. as in there could be several same names with the same company with different dates, or different names with same company. How do I populate a table with this info and have drop down boxes, so that I can narrow down the search? For example: Name | Company | Date 12 | 1 | 1929 13 | 1 | 1929 14 | 1 | 1929 12 | 2 | 1929 12 | 4 | 1929 13 | 1 | 1941 12 | 6 | 1929 So if in the drop down I select '12' under name, only those entries with 12 are shown, and then I can further sort it by selecting only '1' under Company. Hope I'm clear, I manage to complicate things when I post them.

Auto Populating Multiple Drop Downs.
im trying to create two dropdowns, i need the first one to be the category and the second one to be the subcategory. The category drop down autopopulates with the correct info from the database. and uses the table "category", the value of each drop down is represented by the "cat" field in the table (cat is basically and integer id number) and "Category" is used as what the user actually sees in the drop down (category is the actual word of the category). Once the category is selected i would like to have the sub category auto populate with everything that has the same values as the selected category (cat) Here is a break down of how the tables work. Table 1 Name: "category" Fields for Table 1: "cat" (the id number), "category" ( the actual name of the category) Table 2 Name: "subcategory" Fields for Table 2: "cat" (corresponds with the cat id from table 1 to pull the correct data), "subc" (the basic id of the subcategory), "subcat" the actual name of the subcategory. so the way i see it, have a normal drop down populated by a php query. then on change, populate subcategory drop down where cat = cat and display sub category.

Populating The Drop Down And Pressing The Submit Button
1. The first is I have two drop down menus. The first is "year" and the second is "mfr". When a user selects a year from the drop down it then populates the second drop down, mfr, from the MySQL database. Theat is working fine. But the problem I am having is the "submit" button (which I have labeled as "browse"). When I click it. Nothing happens, no action tacks place. I have looked over the code and I can't figure it out. (See Code Box 1 Below). 2. Right now the "mfr" drop down is populated by the MySQL database and reads with a list like "Acr", "Alp", etc. These are abreviations. I need to set up an array to have them instead read the entire mfr name. Example: Instead of "Acr" it needs to be "Acura". Instead of "Alp" it needs to be "Alpine". I need these full names to appear in the drop down. I know I need to do something like this (See Code Box 2 Below) but I can't get my finger on it. Code:

Populating A Select Box From A Database
I have a subscription database that allows you to edit a subscribers data. For example, you enter a search term like "Bob" and it returns a list of everyone named Bob. You click the one you want and it goes to a subscriber detail page, where all of his data is populated to a form. You can directly edit this form and click save to overwrite it. The only issue is the select boxes (drop downs) - say I have four options in the drop down box, red, blue, green and black. On my details page for bob I end up with five, I have those four PLUS whatever was saved for his color, so it shows up twice. If Bob is green, my select box looks like: Green Red Blue Green Black How can I make it so that Green only shows up once?

So one of the select boxes should have all the various departments listed in the select box but the currently selected value should be whatever is in the department field in the 'dates' table for the record the user is trying to update.
