Pulldown1 Selection Populates Pulldown2 Menu?
So I've been reading the forums and researching the web and my books and once again... stuck. I am trying to design a page with a form in it that will have two pull down menus that are dynamically loaded from two seperate mysql tables automatically. The first pull down will pull from one mysql table. Once a value is choosen the second pull down should populate based on the selection of the previous pull down menu. For example, if I select a company in pulldown menu 1 it would send info and pull projects that are owned by the pulldown 1 company from a second table and automatically populate pulldown menu 2 with projects. Upon hitting the submit button the two values would be passed on and info from a third table with project journal entries will be listed.

Dynamic Dropdown And Hardcode Dropdown In Select Form
I have plenty of examples of dynamic dropdown choices but none of hardcoded dropdown choices.

MySQL Dropdown
Is there a way to make a dropdown by getting the options directly from the database? And I'm using this as a form so it has to have a name so I can call upon the value and do something to it. Example to what I want to do: - I have a database table named members and in that table, it has 3 columns - name, age, sex. What I want to do is make a dropdown inside a <form> using the data from the database. 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.

I can't think of a logical way to do this, and still account for the fact that some months have 29 days, some have 30, and some have 31.

What would be the best way to repeat the code without repeating all of the code. Basically looking at an more economical way to do things. Would you do a while statement and loop through them or maybe a single array and call it when you need it. Any opions?

Subcategory would have a list of fruits, like Apples, Bananas, Oranges. If one changes Category to Vegtables, I want subcategory to automatically refresh with a new list,like Beans, Carrots, Peas.

Dropdown Box With Search
I am seeking to create a page that has a drop down and depending on the drop down I choose allows me to search tables within my sql based on that chosen drop down. Similar to the one found at www.imdb.com but the drop down would be a list of the tables within the dba that the user could search. The purpose is to create a search box where an runn can enter in his name or bib number and select the year he wishes to view his resutls. The search would then look within the table of the year selected and display the runners info. I am not sure on how to accomplish this. If anyone knows of some resources that i can read or if anyone knows others who have done this and are willing to share knowlege.

Remember Selected Value DropDown
I am attempting to have a drop down menu that displays url from 1 table called links the same table also contains a name for the url. i.e. google.com = name and http://www.google.com = url The value of just the url from links is stored in a separate table called users in a field named search after form is submitted by user. Everything Posts correctly except when go back to edit the record and submit the form the drop down box does not retain the value of what had been previously selected although it is the correct record until form is updated when whatever value is currently in the drop down list will update the record. I know the code is doing exactly what it is told to do, because I have no functionality in it to recall the value from the field search in the users table. I don't know if it is something I would have to add to the array or option value. I can get it to work if it is all hard coded, but I am attempting not to do this. I am pretty new to php mysql and any help is greatly appreciated. This is the code I am working with that came mostly from a tutorial. PHP Code:

Maximum Dropdown Size
I have a strange issue with dropdowns. Using php4, mySQL5, Apache 2 on a fast XP pro PC, I have a form which requires 5 dropdowns populated with indentical values. I extract the values using SQL and populate 2 variables and use a for-next loop to create the dropdown. The dropdown contains some 310 items! It works beautifully if I have 1 or 2 dropdowns but as soon as I add more it partially creates the 3rd and just stops until it times out! All 5 work because I have altered their positions but it always stops part way through creating the 3rd dropdown. I tried an alternative method by doing away with the variables and constructing the dropdowns with a 'while' statement reading through the results of my SQL and got exactly the same problem only 2 and a bit dropdowns. Stopping it running after a few seconds or several minutes makes no difference, it seems to reach a certain point and just stop - no error messages or anything! I have tried increasing the resourses in my php.ini file but this also made no difference. Can anyone suggest an alternative or a fix?
