put dropdownlistbox in form tag, and post it on change event. get dropdownlistbox value in php code and apply the search from database related to your value (value get from dropdownlistbox).
this is most simple way to handle search with dropdownlistbox.

Javascript
function limiterOnChange()
{
document.limiterForm.submit();
}PHP
// near the top
$val='2';
if ($_POST['limiter']) {
$val=$_POST['limiter'];
if ($val==2) {
$db_data=mysql_query("select * from yourtable");
} else {
$db_data=mysql_query("select * from yourtable where activated='$val'");
}
// right above the area that displays the database info (is in HTML)
$lsel=array("","","");
$lsel[$val]='selected';
?>
<form name='limiterForm' action='' method='post'>
<select name='limiter' onchange='limiterOnChange()'>
<option value='2' <?php echo $lsel['2']; ?> >All</option>
<option value='1' <?php echo $lsel['1']; ?> >Activated</option>
<option value='0' <?php echo $lsel['0']; ?> >De-Activated</option>
</select>
</form>
<!-- now use PHP to display the mysql_fetch_array from $db_data -->I haven't tested this, but I think it's generally the right direction. The javascript simply allows it to automatically submit the change when you change the dropdown. You may have to correct for errors and add code to make it work. No warranties expressed or implied. ;)

This is just quick code, UNTESTED, but I think that this will get you in the direction that you are looking to go:
thispage.php
<?php
// Assuming you have set up the connection, let's play the get game
if(isset($_GET['listtype'])) {
$type = $_GET['selection'];
} else {
$type = "all";
}
if($type=="all") {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `whatever`";
}
switch($type) {
case "all":
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `whatever`";
break;
case "active":
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `whatever` WHERE `status`='1'";
break;
case "inactive":
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `whatever` WHERE `status`='0'";
break;
default:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `whatever`";
break;
}
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="thispage.php" method="get">
<select name="selection">
<option value="all">All</option>
<option value="active">Active</option>
<option value="inactive">Inactive</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<?php
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die('\"'.$sql.'\" Query failed: ' . mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_BOTH)) {
// output and format your data from the database here
}
?>
</body>
</html>Hope this helps. :)

<?
if (isset($_POST['limiter'])){
$val = $_POST['limiter'];
if ($val==2) {
echo "All";
} else if ($val==1){
echo "Activated";
} else if ($val==0){
echo "De-Activated";
}
}
?>
<form name='limiterForm' action='' method='post'>
<select name='limiter' onChange="javascript: limiterForm.submit()" >
<option value='2' <?php if(@$val == '2') echo "selected"; ?> >All</option>
<option value='1' <?php if(@$val == '1') echo "selected"; ?> >Activated</option>
<option value='0' <?php if(@$val == '0') echo "selected"; ?> >De-Activated</option>
</select>
</form>
Simple code, just apply your query in conditions in php code

Just a note on 'autosubmit'. Although this technique is now widely used, especially for ajax functionality. WHat about non-js users? Will there be graceful degradation, or do you ignore them?
There are accessibility issues with these sort of implementations. Just my 2p.
