    <p>DB MAP:</p> <pre><code>Carriers "table1": carriername, carrierid, ect... Post data carrierinfo "table2": carriername, id, contact, ect... carrier list </code></pre> <p>I am using <code>mysql_query</code> from <code>table2</code> for my <code>carriername</code> drop down. Using this I am able to post a carrier name to <code>table1</code>. I am trying to use the same drop down to post the related <code>id</code> from the selcected <code>carriername</code>. So in short I need to have one drop down that displays only the Carrier names but querys both <code>carriername</code> &amp; <code>id</code> from table2. When the form is posted I need to post to the <code>carriername</code> &amp; <code>carrierid</code> to table1. Below is the drop down I am using. Please let me know how I can connect the dots and add what is needed. If its possible. </p> <pre><code> &lt;?php if (isset($_POST["submit"]) &amp;&amp; $_POST["submit"] == "Submit") { for ($count = 1; $count &lt;= 9; $count++) { $fields[$count] = ""; if (isset($_POST["field" . $count .

Querying!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
