What you're asking to do is generally a client side thing (getting the
browser to fill in a form is normally done with javascript). You *could*, I
guess, get the combo box to submit the form, which PHP then prints out
prepopulated, but its rather a waste of resources. Unless, of course, you
need to populate it with a database query, in which case get the combo box
to submit (using JS), perform your query, and use a lot of print statements
to send the prefilled form back.
Check a javascript site for info on how to do it with JS. If you need more
help, you should take this to the PHP-General list. This list (PHP-DEV) is
for actual development of PHP, not the use of it.
