change list value in form

[dune12]

Hi there,

I have a general question. I hope someone can help me. I want to have in a form a list element that gives you the opportunity to choose between "taken" and "not taken". At the beginning the list value is on "not taken". What I want know is that when a costumer clicks on the list value taken and then submits the form that then the web page will be updated so that the next visitor who visits the page sees that that item has already been "taken".
Can I do this maybe with Ajax or with a php-cgiform or can I do it over mysql? When yes how can I do it?

Thanks for any help.

You could do this easily with mysql - just have a table with fields like 'itemID', 'status' (taken or not), and maybe customerID (who took it), etc. When the page is loaded you get the data and display accordingly.
