Your post was kinda hard to understand as there was no direct question but if I am guessing the question right then I would say your product type drop down box can be created with a while loop looping through the results of all products. Then when the product is submitted another query is submitted where it searches for the information relating to the selected product using the mysql Where clause. I think that sums it up but if you can provide some code and a direct question instead of just statements then I may be able to provide some code for you.

Thank you for the reply.

thats makes sense, and sum it well, would you be able to give me some sort of code, that i can work with please.

Thank you

try yourself first , if you have any error, post them here somebady may help you?

An example of searching through the list is as follows:

$result=mysql_query('SELECT * FROM `table_name_here`') or die(mysql_error());
while ($item=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    echo '<option value="'.$item['column_name_here'].'">';
    echo $item['column_name_here'].'</option>'."\n";
}

I would suggest searching through a few mysql tutorials...
