Dynamic drop down box with information transferred between different boxies


Recommended Posts

Hi all, what i am trying to do is like this website: chippeduk.com in the search area (bottom right), where the user selects a make (all fields grab from the database), then selects a model, then they select the fine tune, then they click search this will bring up the information about the car they have picked. How would i do this, would i use multiple tables and then link them together via an id? i am new to PHP/MySQL but very willing to learn. Thanks in advance. I have looked around many forums inc the devshed forums but i can't seem to find that i am looking for. How would i setup the database structure for this type of system? using two tables? how would i link them to each other. I am willing to pay someone to help me with this as i need it done ASAP PM me for more info.

 

Regards,

 

CM.

make table

1 - ID

2 - Make

 

Model table

1 - Make ID

2 - Model ID

3 - Model

 

Year table

1 - Model ID

2 - Year

 

Use a query of the table to display in the drop down box

and as user selects one option display the next box with an if statment

and the prior selection with set the display query for the next box and so on

using the onchange java trigger to process the action.

 

Dont have a sample code at this time with me but its not that hard
