populating combo box dynamically

[priyanshub26]

Sir
when I click on a Country name in the first combo box
the name should be checked on the database and the name of the respective states should be populated in the next combo box dynamically
please give us the basic code and the way to go ahead to develop the code
We are new to PHP ,we have read the basics but how to develop now ?

PHP is serverside so it won't do exactly waht you want without serving two pages: Page 1 - form with country not selected. Post form with country selected. Return new form with states populated.

If you want to do this in one go without going back to the server you need to use javascript. Check out www.javascript.com
