// State lists

states['Canada'] = new Array('Alberta','British Columbia','Ontario');
states['Mexico'] = new Array('Baja California','Chihuahua','Jalisco');
states['United States'] = new Array('California','Florida','New York');


// City lists
var cities = new Array();

cities['Canada'] = new Array();
cities['Canada']['Alberta']          = new Array('Edmonton','Calgary');
cities['Canada']['British Columbia'] = new Array('Victoria','Vancouver');
cities['Canada']['Ontario']          = new Array('Toronto','Hamilton');

cities['Mexico'] = new Array();
cities['Mexico']['Baja California'] = new Array('Tijauna','Mexicali');
cities['Mexico']['Chihuahua']       = new Array('Ciudad Juárez','Chihuahua');
cities['Mexico']['Jalisco']         = new Array('Guadalajara','Chapala');

cities['United States'] = new Array();
cities['United States']['California'] = new Array('Los Angeles','San Francisco');
cities['United States']['Florida']    = new Array('Miami','Orlando');
cities['United States']['New York']   = new Array('Buffalo','new York');


function setStates() {
  cntrySel = document.getElementById('country');
  stateList = states[cntrySel.value];
  changeSelect('state', stateList, stateList);
  setCities();
}

function setCities() {
  cntrySel = document.getElementById('country');
  stateSel = document.getElementById('state');
  cityList = cities[cntrySel.value][stateSel.value];
  changeSelect('city', cityList, cityList);
}

function changeSelect(fieldID, newOptions, newValues) {
  selectField = document.getElementById(fieldID);
  selectField.options.length = 0;
  for (i=0; i<newOptions.length; i++) {
    selectField.options[selectField.length] = new Option(newOptions[i], newValues[i]);
  }
}
function addLoadEvent(func) {
  var oldonload = window.onload;
  if (typeof window.onload != 'function') {
    window.onload = func;
  } else {
    window.onload = function() {
      if (oldonload) {
        oldonload();
      }
      func();
    }
  }
}

I'm using php and mysql.

Sorry, but you are posting just javascript code. This is PHP forum, we can help you on PHP part. And in order to add something, if you want to use javascript, you need AJAX poiting to a PHP script which adds your input to your database. Otherwise just use a simple form. Bye :)
