on click of the select element run the php file through ajax which will fetch the values from the db and will populate the select element.

It will be good if you try to code yourself, we are always there to help you out if you get stuck up somewhere in the code, to start with, here is the ajax functions you can use -
JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. function httpRespObj(url)
  2. {
  3.    try
  4.    {
  5. 	 xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();        
  6.    }
  7.    catch (e)
  8.    {
  9. 	 try
  10. 	 {
  11. 		xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
  12. 	 }
  13. 	 catch (e)
  14. 	 {
  15. 		try
  16. 		{
  17. 			xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");                
  18. 		}
  19. 		catch (e)
  20. 		{
  21. 			alert("Your browser does not support AJAX!");
  22. 			return false;
  23. 		}
  24. 	 }
  25.    }
  26.  
  27.    xmlHttp.open("GET",url,false);       
  28.    xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=responseBack;
  29.    xmlHttp.send(null);
  30. }
  31.  
  32. function responseBack()
  33. {
  34.    if(xmlHttp.readyState==4)
  35.    {
  36.    	//put the response to the html select element 
  37. 	 document.getElementById("selElement").value = xmlHttp.responseText;
  38.    }
  39.    else
  40.    {
  41. 	 document.getElementById("selElement").value="";
  42.    }         
  43. }
you can call the httpRespObj(url) on focus of the select element(whatever way you like it).
"url" is your php script (i called it fetch.php) which fetches the data from the db.
<select onFocus="return httpRespObj('fetch.php?id=<?=$id?>');">
If you dont need to pass any id to the request, you can safely omit that part
