Question

Although I’ve populated a dropdown list from an SQL database before (along time ago, don’t think I even remember how to do it) I now need some help with populating a dropdown list populated by the SQL database, then depending on what selection is selected, display the next dropdown list populated again by another table in the SQL database.

Can someone please help, ideally with a demo as It’s been a longtime since I’ve done anything SQL.

Thanks

Very Easy!

<select name="ALBUM">
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM `PHOTOALBUM` WHERE `USERNAME` = '{$Modules['User']->Username}' ;";
    $RESULTS = mysql_query($sql);
    while($ROW = mysql_fetch_assoc($RESULTS)) {
        echo '<option value="' . $ROW['ALBUM'] . '">' . $ROW['ALBUM'] . '</option>';
    }
</select>

this is one i use for one of the websites i created. It takes all of your photoalbums and creates a dropdown list of them to choose from when adding photos. hope this helps.
