  1. Hey guys.

     

    I am new to PHP and I have figured out how to populate a dropdown box with data from my database but now I want to create another dropdown box with data from my database but I want it to be data that depends on the data from the first drop down box.  I am making code for a supply order for a website I am making for tafe and I filled in the first drop down box with the supplier names and now I want a second drop down box of all the products that that supplier is supplying us.  I cannot for the life of me work out how to do this and I have no idea what to search to get this.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  I will show you the code for my first dropdown box.

     

    <?php
    $db_host = "localhost";
    $db_username = "root";
    $db_password = "";
    $db_name = "ocs";
    @mysql_connect("$db_host","$db_username","$db_password") or die("Could not connect to MySQL");
    @mysql_select_db("$db_name") or die("Cannot find database");
    $query = "SELECT ProductID FROM products";
    $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
    $dropdown = "<select name='products'>";
    while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $dropdown .= "\r\n<option value='{$row['ProductID']}'>{$row['ProductID']}</option>";
    }
    $dropdown .= "\r\n</select>";
    echo $dropdown;
    ?> 

     

    Thanks a lot
