This is a frequent problem. You may want to take a look at this forms generation class that comes with plug-in named linked select that achieves precisely what you want. http://www.phpclasses.org/formsgeneration It can link 2 or more select inputs, without chaining limits. It can switch to alternative set of options for one select when the previous input value changes. The alternative option sets may be defined statically, but there variants of this plug-in to fetch options from MySQL databases or any other database supported by Metabase or PEAR::MDB2 database abstraction layers. The plug-in may use AJAX to retrieve the alternative option sets from the server without reloading the pages. Here is a live demo: http://www.meta-language.net/forms-examples.html?example=test_linked_select Here you can see a tutorial video about the forms class with a section about this plug-in: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/video/1/package/1/section/plugin-linked-select.html Here you can see the slide presentation.
