how make dynamic form??

Anon

I'd like to know how I can make a dynamic form. For example, I have a <SELECT> about products and a second <select> on the same form about projects concerning this product. I'd like to know how I can make for when the user selects a product the other <select> on the form about projects is updating. Thanks

You need to do that using javascript.

make a product select menu (instead of a submit button, you can do onChange=submit()😉:

the second select is displayed only if something was chosen from the first one:

if($id_product != '')
{
?>
<select size=1 name=id_project onChange=submit()>
<?
}

as for the options of this select:

$sql = "select id,name from projects where id_product=$id_product";

this is the connection to the choice done in the first select.

and so on ... got it?

I read Majik's Post ... this can also be done using javascript, of course, but it's possible in PHP as well ... depends on the situation.

sorry, I forgot something:

as the user makes choices, the page reloads itself. therefore, do (e.g.):

<form action=<?=$PHP_SELF ?> method=post>

thus, in short:

if($id_product != '')
<select name=id_project ...>

</form>
