Populating dropdown - PHP Ajax MySQL

Question

I have 2 dropdowns on my HTML page : The first drop down contains the database column names based on which the the second dropdown would be populated i.e.

Answer 1

If you want a more dynamic solution (that will accommodate changes to the background DB) you can do something like this on your page:

...

Degree
City

and then a script similar to:

";
while($row=mysql_fetch_row($data)){
echo "".$row[0]."";
}
echo "";
?>

I guess for real flexibility you'd also want to dynamically populate that first one using mysql_field_name in another script similar to above
