</select>
</td></tr>

so here is what i want to ask. if a user select 1 then one text area will be displayed. if 2, then two text will be displayed. i have tried some coding but ity takes a lot work to do. so i hope you can help me. thank you.

Hey, I liked the challenge, so I tried it out.

//in the head section: This function makes the text input elements depending on the number selected in the options.

<script type="text/javascript">
function makeInputs(amt){
    var str="";
    for(i=0;i<amt;i++){
        str += 
        "<input type=\"text\" name=\"text_" + 
        (i+1) + "\"" + 
        " id=\"text_" + i + "\"" +
        " value=\"\" />\n";
    }
    document.getElementById('inputs').innerHTML = str;
}
</script>

//in the body, this makes the select area on the page, also there is a div in which to show the text inputs when they are made.

<select style="width:160px;" id="text" name="participants" required="required">
<option id="" value="" name="">-Select participant-</option> 
<script type="text/javascript">
for(i=0;i<30;i++){
    document.write(
    "<option id=\"opt_" + i + 
    "\" value=\"" + i + 
    "\" name=\"opt_" + (i+1) + 
    "\" onclick=\"makeInputs(" + (i+1) + ")\">" + (i+1) + 
    "</option>\n");
}
</script>
</select>
<div id="inputs">
</div>

Hope this helps, any more questions let us know.

That's great!
Are we solved then... are we, are we?

Hey :)
There are no database calls that I can see in your code, can you repost your whole code and re-tell exactly what you want to acheive?

this is my php code to connect with database

<?php


    //Connect to mysql server
    $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
    if(!$link) {
        die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error());
    }

    //Select database
    $db = mysql_select_db(DB_NAME);
    if(!$db) {
        die("Unable to select database");
    }



    $user =& JFactory::getUser();
    $ID = $user->id;

    $null = null;

    $Title = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Title']);
    $participants = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['participants']);
    $Email= mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Email']);
    $Name= mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Name']);
    $Position= mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Position']);
    $Company = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Company']);
    $Website = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Website']);
    $Phone = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Phone']);
    $fax = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['fax']);
    $Address = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Address']);
    $P= mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Box']);
    $City = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['City']);
    $Postal = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Code']);
    $country= mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['country']);
    $request = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['request']);
    $Payment = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Payment']);


    $view = '0';
    $post = '0';
    $minus = '1';


$dbc = mysql_connect(DB_HOST,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD) or
die('Unable to connect to MySql: '.mysql_error());

mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $dbc) or
die('Unable to connect to MySql: '.mysql_error());

$reg = "INSERT INTO jkhlc_registrationT values      
('$null','".$Title."','".$participants."','".$Email."','".$Name."','".$Position."','
".$Company."','".$Website."','".$Phone."','".$fax."','".$Address."','".$P."','".$City."','
".$Postal."','".$country."','".$request."','".$Payment."')";//insert into table


                    $regRes = mysql_query($reg) or die (mysql_error());


echo "<script language='JavaScript'>alert('Successfully Submit.');window.location ='/index.php/registration'</script>";



if(!mysql_query($regRes,$dbc))
{
    die('Error:' .mysql_error());

}



mysql_close($dbc);


?>

and this is my form.
