Drop-down menus and querying other databases

  • I have questions about how to accomplish two different things inside wordpress pages. I have no problem doing either of these things in normal web pages with html and php, but I run into problems when I try to do them withing wordpress pages.

    1) I want to create a multidimensional drop down menu so that the user can choose options from several different categories, hit the go button, and proceed to another page that relies on the choices the user just made on the previous page.

    2) The reason I want to do this is because the second page queries a mysql database based on the choices that the user made on the first page. As long as I have runPHP installed, I should be able to do this in the usual way, with mysql_query(), correct? Even though the database I am querying is NOT the wordpress database?

    Thanks.

    Just wanted to bump this before it falls off the first page in case there’s someone out there who can help me out.

    and thats not ok, especially after ONLY 2 damn hours.

    gubanichplague… I’m not able to help ya with this. However, there are plenty of people here that ARE helpful – just sometimes not exactly when you need it. Relax mate, I’m sure a db guru will see this post and see what they can do to help you.. just sometimes need to be patient.

    Good luck to you

    You’ve been very patient, gubanichplague.
