louisstephens Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Ok. I could really use some help on this. I have a database populated with data {firstname, lastname, street, city, state}, and I have a drop down list wich lists the states in the database. SO when you pick the state, it shows the entries from that state in a table. However, I really need my second drop down (which is last name) to populate the same table (using a query) to arrange them by the last name I choose. I really do not know how to achieve this. I have it written out on paper, what I need them to do, but I dont really know how to achieve this through php. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerRobot Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 If you're looking to do this without having the page re-load, you'll need to look into AJAX. There's an FAQ about this very thing here There's two posts - the first showing how do it without a database, the second with. If you don't care about the page reload, you just need to have the form submit to itself - you can then grab the information for the second drop-down and fill it in.
