Set the variable(s) to the values that you want to filter on. For ex.: your query is $sel = 1; $q = select Department, Manager, supervisor, Group Leader,Employees where $sel; Then when the user selects a department $d: $sel = Department = '$d'; OR if you have selected a department $d and a manager $m: $sel = Department ='$d' and Manager='$m'; One query.

[PHP] Re: SELECT data base on a upper level SELECT
Thanks for the information and help, The query can solve server side, but client side, user might select any one dropdown, for example, user might select manager from drop down without choose Department dropdown. For this case, application needs inject data for supervisor and lower level, Thanks again for helping, Regards, Iccsi, Jim Giner wrote in message news:8c.41.29774.c0e5a...@pb1.pair.com...
