Hi,

you have to use javascript for this issue.
1)
for your first dropdown you must have something like"
<select name="ddlType" onChange="pageRedirect(this.value)">

you have to build your javascript function to redirect you to the same page but with a new parametter (let call it type). you take the type value ($_GET["type"]) and populate the second drop down.

2)
you can build 2 arrays, one for first dropdown and one (actually will be an array of arrays) for the second dropdown. this way you don't have to interogate the database for every change.

3)
use AJAX
