hi...
I am developing an application using PHP/MySQL.
here, i have one page(say P1), which contains a form(just one drop down menu, say D1, with only 2 options , say O1 and O2)...
the target of P1 is another page, say P2.
Now,
P2 is also a form, and contains a number of fields (all text fields)...
THE PROBLEM
P2 also contains a drop down menu.
Now, this is not a static drop down menu.
If, on P1, the user selectes O1, then a particular drop down menu is displayed on P2.(say D2)
If, on P1, the user selects O2, then another drop down menu is shown (say D3)
Both D2 and D3 are different from D1.
I have coded this, but it shows me errors. I guess i may be mixing HTML and PHP code at some place, but am unable to figure it out... pls help me out if u can...
I am posting the code i developed...
THE CODE
P1.php
Code:
<html>
<form action = "P2.php" method = "POST">
<select name = "dbase">
<option>abc</option>
<option>xyz</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Enter Client Details"/>
</form>
</html>
P2.php
Code:
<html>
<?php
$db = $_POST["dbase"];
?>
<form action = "P3.php" method = "POST">
Name: <input type = "text" name = "Name">
ID: <input type="text" name="ID" />
<?php
if($_POST["dbase"] == 'abc')
{
<select name = "tests">
<option>Maths</option>
<option>English</option>
</select>
}
else
{
Test : <select name = "tests">
<option>Physics</option>
<option>Chemistry</option>
<option>Geography</option>
</select>
}
?>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
</html>
please help me out...
