You need to use JavaScript and possibly AJAX to make this work. You need to put an "onChange" event on each drop down box so that the page reacts to the drop down box being changed. Do you have any JavaScript knowledge?

There are two main approaches that I'd consider. As JC suggests - the Ajax approach, creating interactive and dynamic funcationality, where js events get info from the server each time via ajax call. Another would be to do everything via js. This is only feasible for relatively small datasets which are static (do not rely upon data in tables that are updated often).

If you go down the Ajax route, I'd suggest jQuery as this simplifies requests and responses. The second method gets ALL the data from the DB in a php array on page load and converts it to json format to place into a js variable. The page then just calls on the json data, avoiding a round trip to the server on every action. This method, it must be said is not suitable for more complicated data or large amounts of data, but for trivial aspects such as updating dropdowns, it may be useful.
