LOL.
I appreciate the comments. Not asking for full code, don't want that ever. I think I may be going at this the wrong way - biting off too much at one sitting. I'm working from a book by Steven Schafer "Apach, MySQL, and PHP - Weekend Crash Course'. It's well written but, as with many technical books, starts slow - well structured - small steps, and then blows into something complex without any link between the simple and complicated stuff.
I'll find some resources on basic HTML and see if that helps tie the bits together.
Thanks again for the responses.

I'm still not quite there, I can see the misty shape of a solution but the details are still a bit hazy.
The code I posted it the whole shebang. I've made some attempts to 'form enable' it, but can't figure out where to put the <form.../form>, and submit stuff so the entire thing renders as a form and creates the variable you describe.
Well, I think it's a little out of the scope of this list to explain forms and HTML to you. You need a second page that your form is going to be "posted" to that'll receive the value the user has selected. Then on this second page you create a second query with the value the user selected to pull the specific data. If anyone just writes the whole thing for you, what'll you learn? :)
