I am trying to read my database from mysql. I have two fields author and books. I need the author field to be in the drop down list and then when I choose an author I need it to display below on the same page all of the books by that author in the database. I don't really know how to use php. I know how to connect the database to php but then I don't know how to get the author from the database to the drop down list and then I am not really sure how to display the books below. I am working on this for a small local bookstore and I really want to incorporate this feature for them.
