ShootingBlanks Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hello. I need some help getting started with a PHP app. Even if specifics aren't provided, just a general "how to" of what I should google for or look into would be great (although specifics would be even better! )... I'm going to have three MySQL tables: One will hold "categories" One will hold "subcategories" One will be a lookup table to relate the two based on their unique ids I can make that part up no problem, so I don't need help on that... I want to have either an HTML combo box or an HTML drop-down menu that lists all the categories. I can do that too. Here's the part where I'd have trouble... ...After a user selects one of the categories, I'd want ANOTHER combo box/drop-down menu to appear with that selected category's list of associated sub-categories to choose from. So, basically the page would update as soon as a category was selected. Is this possible? Is the "PHP Forum" even the right place to be asking this question??? (I'm making the whole overall app in PHP - this is just a part of it)... Thanks so much for any help that can be offered!!!
