PHP / Javascript Menu List Population


I would like a web page to have 2 menu lists

The contents of the second menu list depending on the selection made in
the first.

The contents of the second would be populated from a database.

I am fairly new to programming using PHP, Javascript and MySQL but I am
sure what I am asking has been done before. Could someone please give
me some pointers or direct me to a tutorial.

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.).

Select List/Menu Using PHP And MYSQL

A few words to describe:
-$row_AllCountries['country_ID'](get from MySQL) is a unique country ID number
-$row_AllCountries['countryname'](get from MySQL) is the name of the country
-$acountry is the country ID number that i want to be selected when the form loads

I have all the values and country names named OK...the only problem is that when the form loads it selects the last country.

Ordering A Drop-down Menu List

$rows = mysql_num_rows($rsPhysician);
if($rows > 0) {

$row_rsPhysician = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsPhysician);
}

although if you have any generic code, I can play with it to get it to alphabetize my list. (the list is specialtyName and specialtyID is going into the database.

Default Menu/List Option
I'm trying to create a form with three menus, each with the same values, and I have no problems there. Each menu has it's initial value set at "None" and then the rest of the values are pulled from my MySQL db. Everything works great if the user selects three values that came from the database or selects something from the first menu but not the other two and then submits. The problem is when the user doesn't select anything from the first menu.

The next page reads the form value as "" instead of "None" but only for the first menu. The other three menus work fine. I know this isn't really php related, but this is usually such a helpful forum that I thought I'd post here before I start to search for some helpful html forum. Answers would be greatly appreciated, but so would corrections for my terminology (which I think I am confused about) or a good link to a place where I should be asking this question.

Flat File List Style Menu
I'm trying to build a Menu Building out of flatfiling with a section to add new areas to it.  The idea behind it is to have a header for each section (as the top order list item) then each one below is a link of that category.

I already figured I'm buillding it with limits (20 items Max per heading) and that to do it I will simply have each Heading/links in it be a new row in the document.  example row Tips tips.php Tips on Php, file tips File Tips tips/files.php, etc etc

With the first item of each row being the Heading and each other being the ones under it My question is What delimiters should I use to seperate in the row (I need to separate each item by 1 delimiter and then in each row separate the href, alt, name)

Secondly for rewrtiign it should I simply write it so each time it rewrites the whole file or should  I try and do string replacing and do modify sorta deal.

Multiple Dynamic Drop Down Population
I have a table with 3 pieces of data that I would like to use to
dynamically populate 3 drop downs using javascript. The fields are
state, orgname, office. If it's not already obvious, I'd like orgname
drop down to change when a state is selected and I would like office
drop down to change when an orgname is selected. I can do this with
multiple tables but am having difficulty getting it to work when the
data is in the same table. Below is the code to get state and orgname
from separate tables(the code reflects one table and is broken in the
below state). It's the best I can come up with and I can see why it
doesn't work but I know there must be a way to pull all the pieces from
a single table.

<code>
$list=$_SESSION['list'];
if(isset($list) and strlen($list) 0){
$quer=mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT orgname,org_id FROM organization
WHERE state=$list ORDER BY orgname");
}else{$quer=mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT orgname FROM organization ORDER
BY orgname"); }
$quer2=mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT state FROM organization ORDER BY
state");

//first drop down
echo "<select name='state' onchange="reload(this.form)"><option
value=&#390;'>Select one</option>";
while($state = mysql_fetch_array($quer2)) {
if($state['org_id']==@$list){echo "<option selected
value='$state[state]'>$state[state]</option>"."<BR>";}
else{echo "<option value='$state[state]'>$state[state]</option>";}
}
echo "</select>";

//next drop down
echo "<select name='org'><option value=''>Select one</option>";

Get List Of Messages From One Table, Message List Indicator From
I have two tables. One has a list of messages left by users using fields named mbxno for the mailbox and msgno for the message number. I have another table that has mailbox settings for each user that contains a field named "messagelist" to indicate if they want to be included on the message list or not.

What I'm trying to create is a list of the most-recent messages with a lookup on the users table to indicate whether a message in the list should be included in the message list based on the user's mailbox settings.

SELECT messages.msgno, messages.mbxno, users.messagelist FROM messages, users WHERE (users.messagelist = &#391;') ORDER BY msgno DESC LIMIT 100

What I'm getting, though is a list that looks like this:

mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1

I think what's happening is that I'm using the wrong type of join and more rows are being created than necessary.

If I add "DISTINCT" to the query, I get a list of the most-recent messages as I expect, but the "messsagelist" value is sometimes wrong (again, probably because the data is getting jumbled). For example, the messagelist value for the second row (2214) should be 0, not 1.

mbxno: 1114 msgno: 0412141623 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2214 msgno: 0412141622 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2189 msgno: 0412141408 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0003 msgno: 0412141213 msglist: 1
mbxno: 2265 msgno: 0412132029 msglist: 1
mbxno: 0000 msgno: 0412131950 msglist: 1

How should I be doing this? If nothing else, what kind of join will work with a long list compared to a value from a short list?
