[SOLVED] Auto-populating dropdowns and multiple forms.

[matthewst]

Here's what I have so far:

 

First drop down = select a state (works)

This populates the second drop down (works)

Second drop down =  select a city (works)

This populates the third drop down with local restaurant names (not quite)

 

When I select a restaurant from the drop down the form is submitted but the $rest_name variable isn't carried over

 

 

 

Site: www.abcgreatdeals.com

Select:California, La Quinta for an example

 

I'm sure it's something simple that I'm just over looking. Thanks for any input.

My mistake.

 

Select Missouri, Osage Beach for an example

[matthewst]

got it

had to change $rest_name to $rest
