[Resolved] Must database table be called up for dependent list box form?

[kiwibrit]

I want to produce a form which will post selections named size and drive to to a file blindsize.php. Looking around this forum and the web, it seems that the only way to do this is to set up a database table (I would set up one in MySQL) and call up that with javacript.

If setting up a MySQL table is the answer, then I would probably use this script. But as I am also new to javascript, I would now have a further learning curve with that, though at first glance the script tutorial looks very good.

But is setting up a database table the only way for a php user? When I first started looking around, I had though the way might be a series of elseif lines.

Hi,

Dependent on what specifically you want, you do not need a database, nor even PhP to set up a form, which will submit these things. It becomes more handy, when you start doing subsets of original data.

But it depends a bit on your situation. I have a lot of drop-down forms in pages which I hard-code in the page,

Thanks, I have found a way to do it in javascript without calling up from a database.

Thinking about it, that leaves an access problem. I guess I shall have to do a plain 2-choice form for those without javascript - and a "not available" page when the combination chosen is not possible.
