Hi Brent,
I believe this is the way to go, but since I'm not a javascript guy I would
like to get some php help for doing this.
I you know some javascript can you please post some code for this task?
Someone else proposed to query ALL the information from the database to
populate the javascript code to be used but I disregard this since the data from the
database is pretty big and a lot of user accessing at the sime will put the load on
the roof. I'm sure there is an easier way to go..
Thanks a lot!
Francisco

Using a combination of javascript and php this is easily done. Below is just
a way off the top of my head. There are probably simpler ways of doing it or
even more elegant but again this is just off the top of my head.
You would populate your first dropdown box by whatever method. Then you
would do an onselect javascript event to submit the form, the php code would
check to see what "step your at" by seeing which select form field was
submitted and then take the value of select form field , query against the
value, and then use the results to populate the other select form fields.
Wash, rinse, repeat.

dependant upon each other, that means:

should change based on the selection at #2 to finally submit the desired
query. Each dropdown menu should be generated from a mysql query based on
the previous selection.
> I need to generate mysql queries based on each dropdown selection and the
page should reload the content for the next dropdown menu. I couldn't yet
figure out how to accomplish this.
