Dynamic Selectors in PHP/MySQL?

[mrhinman]

Hi All,

I have a form that currently draws a list of company names from the MySQL table (using a while() loop and the <select> and <option> stuff). What I'd like to do is get other info from that same table (contact name, phone, etc) and have it pre-fill other parts of the form when you select that company from the drop-down list.

I've seen lots of JS to do this, but I'm not very skilled in that yet. I was hoping PHP could do it.

Example:

Job Order Form:
Pick Company ABC from drop-down
Contact Name, Phone, Email, etc, automatically fill in on the form on screen into <input type="text"....> fields.

Any ideas?

This thread is very simular to your question : http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?t=10329073

Hopefully that might solve your problem, but it seems that JS is the most common way to solve these issues.
