I thought this would be simple and there would be advice / tutorials
everywhere for this, but now that I'm working on it, I can't find any
reference except for ASP or Javascript code. PHP/MySQL - 3 form select
menus: Project, Categories, Subcategories. When a Project is selected, the
Categories list is populated based on Project selected, then Subcategories
list is populated based on Category selected. I see this all over the Net,
but through 10 books, there isn't anything specific. I think I get lost
with some of PHP structure since I've been using DW - I end up editing most
of it in order to follow it, but DW works pretty good for getting initial
testing done. I just can't seem to find further guidance on this. So far I
have:
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="add_file.php" method="post">
<table>
<tr>
<td width="23%" rowspan="2" valign="top"><p><strong>Project:<br />
</strong>
<select name="project">
<?php
do {
?>
<option value="<?php echo
$row_projects['projCode']?>"><?php echo $row_projects['projCode']?></option>
<?php
} while ($row_projects = mysql_fetch_assoc($projects));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($projects);
if($rows 0) {
mysql_data_seek($projects, 0);
$row_projects = mysql_fetch_assoc($projects);
}
?>
</select>
</p>
<p><strong>
Category:
<select name="category" id="category">
<option>Select a category...</option>
<option value="<?php echo $row_categories['catName']?>"><?php
echo $row_categories['catName']?></option>
<?php
do {
?>
<?php
} while ($row_categories = mysql_fetch_assoc($categories));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($categories);
if($rows 0) {
mysql_data_seek($categories, 0);
$row_categories = mysql_fetch_assoc($categories);
}
?>
</select>
</strong></p>
<p>
</p></td>
<td width="26%" valign="top"><p><strong>Subcategory:</strong>
<select name="subcategory" id="subcategory">
<option>Select a subcategory...</option>
<?php
if (isset('category'))
{
if ($row_subcat['catID']==$row_categories['catID'])
{
do
{?>
<option value="<?php echo $row_subcat['subcatName']; ?>"></option>
<?php
}
while ($row_subcat = mysql_fetch_assoc($subcat));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($subcat);
if($rows 0)
{
mysql_data_seek($subcat, 0);
$row_subcat = mysql_fetch_assoc($subcat);
}
}
}
}
?>
</select>
Thanks for any help with this.
