    <p>I'm having trouble with my dynamic select forms. When the "subject" form is submitted it works perfectly, but when the "course" form is then submitted, the form seems to submit properly (localhost/page.php?subject=1&amp;course=2), but it returns the option back to <code>null</code> so it isn't working with later php that is dependent on the <code>course_id</code>. </p> <p>Header PHP:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $subject = $course = null; $conn = mysql_connect('', '', ''); $db = mysql_select_db('',$conn); if(isset($_GET["subject"]) &amp;&amp; is_numeric($_GET["subject"])) { $subject = $_GET["subject"]; } if(isset($_GET["course"]) &amp;&amp; is_numeric($_GET["course"])) { $country = $_GET["course"]; } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Javascript:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script language="JavaScript"&gt; function autoSubmit() { var formObject = document.forms['theForm']; formObject.submit(); } &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>HTML Form:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form name="theForm" method="get"&gt; &lt;select name="subject" onChange="autoSubmit();"&gt; &lt;option value="null"&gt;Select a Subject...&lt;/option&gt; &lt;?php $sql = "SELECT DISTINCT subj_name, subj_id FROM table1 ORDER BY subj_name"; $result = mysql_query($sql) or die ("couldn't execute query"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo ("&lt;option value=\"$row[subj_id]\" " . ($subject == $row["subj_id"] ? " selected" : "") . "&gt;$row[subj_name]&lt;/option&gt;"); } ?&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;?php if($subject != null &amp;&amp; is_numeric($subject)) { ?&gt; &lt;select name="course" onChange="autoSubmit();"&gt; &lt;option value="null"&gt;Select a Course...&lt;/option&gt; &lt;?php $sql = "SELECT DISTINCT course_id, course_name, subj_id FROM table1 WHERE subj_id = $subject"; $result = mysql_query($sql); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo ("&lt;option value=\"$row[course_id]\" " . ($course == $row["course_id"] ? " selected" : "") . "&gt;$row[course_name]&lt;/option&gt;"); } ?&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;?php } ?&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre>

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.
