    copied!<p>Finally just had to figure it out on my own, but thanks for those who tried to help. </p> <p>I will post my middle table from my Class/Category/Style/Type cascading tables. First make a function such as the below: </p> <pre><code> &lt;?php //Category Selection function Category_Selection($link) { global $connection; $options=""; if(isset($_GET["class_id"])) { $query="SELECT categories.category_id, categories.Category_Name "; $query.="FROM categories "; $query.="ORDER BY categories.Category_Name ASC"; $result=mysql_query($query, $connection); $class_id=$_GET['class_id']; if(!$result){ die("Database query failed: " . mysql_error()); } while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $name=$row["Category_Name"]; $id=$row["category_id"]; $link2=$link."&amp;category_id={$id}"; $options.="&lt;OPTION VALUE=\"$link2\" "; if(isset($_GET["category_id"])) { $category_id = $_GET['category_id']; if($id==$category_id) { $options.=" selected=\"selected\" "; } } $options.=" &gt;".$name.'&lt;/OPTION&gt;'; } } else { $options.="&lt;OPTION selected=\"selected\" VALUE=0&gt;First Select Class&lt;/OPTION&gt;"; } return($options); } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Then place on your main page:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php session_start() ?&gt; //Category if(isset($_GET['category_id'])) { $category_id=$_GET['category_id']; setcookie('category_id',$category_id); $link.="&amp;category_id={$category_id}"; }elseif(isset($_COOKIE['category_id'])) { $_GET['category_id']=$_COOKIE['category_id']; $category_id=$_COOKIE['category_id']; $link.="&amp;category_id={$category_id}"; } </code></pre> <p>Now make your selection drop-down:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php //Category Selection $options=Category_Selection($link); ?&gt; &lt;center&gt; &lt;SELECT NAME="category_id" ONCHANGE="location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;"&gt; &lt;OPTION VALUE=0&gt;&lt;/OPTION&gt; &lt;?php echo $options ?&gt; &lt;/SELECT&gt; &lt;/center&gt; </code></pre> <p>Repeat above for each required drop-down.</p> <p>Good luck...and, of course use MYSQLi to protect your site rather than the MYSQL shown above...</p>
