Dynamic Drop down

Recommended Posts

You'll need to look into AJAX.

Basically, using JavaScript you trigger a call (ajax or fetch) to a php script on your server - in the call you pass the selected value. The php script will use this passed value to determine what to show in the next drop-down and return that to the JavaScript which will then display that data to the user as a second drop-down.

How do I capture the selected value and post that value to another table.
