Hi Torsten,
I believe this is what I need, I'll give it a try, and I'll add the
'onChange()' event as you say.
I'll get back to the list once I did some extra effort trying this ;-)
Kind regards,
Francisco

Subject: [PHP] Re: PHP- Dependant dropdown based on Mysql queries
Francisco Puente XFMP (QA/EMC) wrote in message

Hi All,
I'm trying to generate a PHP page with 3 or 4 dropdown menus, each of one
dependant upon each other, that means:
#2 dropdown should change upon selecting something on dropdown #1, #3
should change based on the selection at #2 to finally submit the desired
query. Each dropdown menu should be generated from a mysql query based on
the previous selection.
I need to generate mysql queries based on each dropdown selection and the
page should reload the content for the next dropdown menu. I couldn't yet
figure out how to accomplish this.
Let me know if I make myself clear enough :)
Any help is very welcome!!
Thanks in advance,
Francisco
Hi Francisco,
just point the form action to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. Then check the POST
value of the relevant dropdown and do your queries. For example:
// the value of your selects will probably be ids that's why you should cast
them to integers
if (isset($_POST['select1'])) {
$select1 = (int) $_POST['select1'];
// do your query for select2
}
if (isset($_POST['select2'])) {
$select2 = (int) $_POST['select2'];
// do your query for select3
}
if (isset($_POST['select3'])) {
$select3 = (int) $_POST['select3'];
// do your query for select3
}
if (isset($_POST['select4'])) {
$select4 = (int) $_POST['select4'];
// insert your data
}
I hope you get my point. For user convenience you could use JavaScript's
onChange() event to auto-submit the first three selects when the user has
selected a value.
Best regards, Torsten Roehr
