The examples in the link I supplied are PHP/MySQL specific. However, the funtionality of the dropdown being auto populated is done with javascript in any solution you will find. No language including PHP can do what you need without the use of javascript.<br />

I need to put a dependant drop down in my form. Basically the user would select a building and based on the number of that building the second drop down would populate with the unit numbers within the building. I'm aware that this is typically a AJAX thing, but I'm looking for a good quick tutorial to get this done fast. I know a little php an mysql and will be learning javascript in the near future, but I need to find something now to finish this form. Any help is appreciated

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is a group of interrelated Web development techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous Web applications. With AJAX, web applications can send data to and retrieve from a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. HTML and CSS can be used in combination to mark up and style information. The Document Object Model (DOM) is accessed with JavaScript to dynamically display and allow interaction with the information presented.
