revraz Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 You can't do it on the same page with just PHP unless you use a submit button, you need to use Ajax or Javascript if you want it dynamic.

aseaofflames Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 i would use ajax for this. function getval(KodGredSSM) { var ajaxRequest; // The variable that makes Ajax possible! try{ // Opera 8.0+, Firefox, Safari ajaxRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); } catch (e){ // Internet Explorer Browsers try{ ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) { try{ ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e){ // Something went wrong alert("Your browser broke!"); return false; } } } // Create a function that will receive data sent from the server ajaxRequest.onreadystatechange = function(){ if(ajaxRequest.readyState == 4){ document.getElementById("NamaJawatan").value = ajaxRequest.responseText; } } //this var php = "getval.php?KodGredSSM="+KodGredSSM; ajaxRequest.open("GET", php, true); ajaxRequest.send(null); } then change <select name="KodGredSSM" id="KodGredSSM" > to <select name="KodGredSSM" id="KodGredSSM" onChange="getval(this.value)"> and add id="NamaJawatan" to the textfield then create a file name getval.php (you need to add the code to connect to the database): <?php $KodGredSSM = $_GET['KodGredSSM']; $query = mysql_query("select NamaJawatan from Jawatan where KodGredSSM='$KodGredSSM' LIMIT 1"); $get = mysql_fetch_row($query); echo $get[0]; ?> every time the value in the select is changed, the value of the textfield should change.[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/130293-auto-drop-down-from-database/#findComment-677055 Share on other sites More sharing options...
