Not a list box, but a menu of about 15 category titles, all shown on the page in a list, click on category get the category items listed. Both the category titles and the individual items will come from a database. I am trying this to make a faq's page - list the faq categories, click on the category and get the list of faq's. The first part is easy, the second part is easy, both seperately. Right, so make your links something like: http://www.example.com/faq.php?category=3 Your page then uses $_GET['category'] to builds a query to extract the items in the selected category. Then it builds links which looks something like: http://www.example.com/faq.php?category=3item=2 -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * /* It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God but to create him. -Arthur C.

[PHP-DB] a menu item from a database, linked to a list from a another table
Is this even possible? I have a menu that is generated from a table. Typically, the menu items are links to html pages. I would like to have the link bring up a list of items from another table in the database, not an html page. So I guess this would be a select statement linked from a select statement?
