hi list. i have a script that works initially. here is the script: <?php $conn=pg_connect("host=127.0.0.1 dbname=db user=name password=pword"); if (!$conn){ echo("<P> Unable to connect to the database server at this time.</P>"); exit(); } else{$query0="SELECT municipality FROM municipality where provinceid=$provid order by municipality;"; $result0=pg_exec($conn, $query0); } $numrows0=pg_numrows($result0); $CurrentRow0=0; while ($CurrentRow0 < $numrows0) { $model0=pg_result($result0, $CurrentRow0); echo "<font face=\"Verdana\" size=1><option value=$model0>$model0</option></font>"; $CurrentRow0++; } ?> this is only part of the script. when no municipality is chosen, this still works. what i mean is that it still shows the municipalities in the drop down box. but if i choose a certain municipality, there will be no municipalities shown in the drop down box. i know there's something wrong with the script but i just can't figure it out. any ideas? thanks. ryanne
