Populating a second select box depending of the fi

问题:

I'm having this select, let's call it "X", that is populated with car brands as options from the database via a SELECT.

<select name="X">
<?php
$row = mysqli_query("SELECT * FROM brands");
while($row2 = mysqli_fetch_array($row))
echo '<option value="' . $row2['brandID'] . '">' . $row2['brandName'] . '</option>
?>
</select>

Now i have to populate the second select, called "Y", with the models specifics to a brand selected.

For example, if the option that's selected in the first select box (X) is Audi i should have as options in the second select (Y) the following: A4,A6,TT,TTs

To populate the second select box manually is easy, basicaly the same thing as for the first just with a different SQL request.

$row = mysqli_query("SELECT modelName from modele WHERE brandName = '$brand'");

Where $brand would have a value according to the first select's selection.

Thanks

Put an id in your <select name="X"> code like <select name="X" id ="X">

Put another select like <select name="Y" id="Y">. Which will be blank.

put this jquery in your page.

$("X").on("change",function(){
    var x_value=$("X").val();
    $.ajax({
        url:'ajax.php',
        data:{brand:x_value},
        type: 'post',
        success : function(resp){
            $("#Y").html(resp);               
        },
        error : function(resp){}
    });
});

in your ajax.php add the query.

<?php
$row = mysqli_query("SELECT modelName from modele WHERE brandName =".$_POST['brand']);
while($row2 = mysqli_fetch_array($row))
    echo '<option value="' . $row2['modelId'] . '">' . $row2['modelName'] . '</option>
?>

Hopefully it will work. Please tell me if you need anything.

Use ajax and on change event together,

method: 1- build a page where you post your queries to. 2- that page should react to the query and sends a respond with the desired list of options. example :

if ($_POST["vehicle"] == car) // send response with array of car names as json obj for example
else // send response with array of motorbikes names

your ajax should receive it and populate the filed on-complete.

If you need more details, I'll be happy to provide it
