sebthib55 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I made a drop down menu in a search feature. The search feature works great, except I wanted to add an extra feature to it... What I want is if a user selects GAME in the drop down, I wish to make a new drop down menu appear displaying categories... How can I do this? I've googled, but received no answer. <?PHP echo"<form action='' method='get'> Term: <input type='text' value='' name='search' /> <br /><br /> Search by: <br /><select size='1' name='by'> <option value='game'>Game</option> <option value='item'>Item</option> <option value='name'>User</option> <option value='usershop'>Usershop</option></select>"; //If User Selects GAME display Categories below echo"<br />In Category: <select size='1' name='searchcat'> <option value='All' selected='selected'>All</option>"; $catquery=run_query("SELECT * FROM phpqa_cats"); while ($catlist= mysql_fetch_array($catquery)) echo "<option value='$catlist[0]'>$catlist[1]</option>"; //End Display Categories ?> </select><br /><br /> <input type='submit' value='search' name='action' /> <br /><br /> </form> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67982-drop-down-menu-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocobueno1388 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 You would have to use JavaScript to do this, not PHP. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67982-drop-down-menu-help/#findComment-341774 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebthib55 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 I figured that I had to do Javascript and thats also what I googled and couldn't find a thing...

sebthib55 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 I feel really dumb right now as I cannot figure this out... I look at my code and I cannot seem to figure out how they go with the code I made....
