I've got a dynamic dropdown on http://www.northjerseydirectories.com
I generate the js using php and a MySQL database. The dropdown does what
you're looking for. Since the dropdown is client side you either need to
go with javascript, an applet, or have the person submit a form that loads
the second box which is pretty clumsy.

So, if the user selects mercedes, then the next box is 500Sl, 300Sc and
so forth. If they select ford, then the second box has completely different
values?
You'll either have to reload the page after the first select, or use
javascript or some other kind of client script. I don't think there is a way
to do it with PHP, but maybe someone else has an idea to help you. I hope
they do, because I need to do the same sort of thing, and I am trying to
avoid js at all costs.

Does anyone know how I might populate a drop down box based on the users
selection from a previous drop down box? For example, if I have a table
called 'autos' with 2 fields, 'make' and 'model'. I select distinct 'make'
and populate the first drop down box. Based on the user selection, the 2nd
drop down box would be populated with the distinct 'make' for that model
(ie; if the user selects Ford in the first drop down, the 2nd drop down
would be populated with Explorer, Expedition, Ranger, etc.).
Thanks,
Randy Rankin
