need help. please

Post by gymsmoke »

i'm trying to setup a page which has multiple dropdown lists populated from a mysql db...
the listboxes are based on a hierarchy of tables (i.e.)
list1 shows table A
make a selection
list2 shows table B (where somecolumn = selection made from list1)
make a selection
list3 shows table C (where somecolumn = selection made from list2)

i tried this with nested forms in php, and the only problem i have is that when the subsequent level lists are displayed, the list above it loses the value that was displayed.

any help would be greatly appreciated. i'm under the gun to get this working.

Thanks

If I search for that author (within PHPDev), I get over 1,100 returns. If I search Google for that author, I get over 7,000 hits. Could you please be a little more detailed with a reply like this? (A link would be most helpful). I'm sure that the 'regulars' here know all about exactly which tutorial you may be referring to, but as someone a bit new to this, I'm thinking this author could have written alot more tutorials than one...

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate your assistance with this.
