thats correct

its a warning which is displaying correctly. Just stick an @ infront of the function to supress it


@mysql_fetch_array():

where you have

/////////////////////////////////////////////////
$query = sprintf("SELECT * FROM car_model where car_model_id='$make'");
$result = @mysql_query($query);
$rowModel = mysql_fetch_array($result);
/////////////////////////////////////////////////

add an echo like this...


/////////////////////////////////////////////////
echo $query = sprintf("SELECT * FROM car_model where car_model_id='$make'");
$result = @mysql_query($query);
$rowModel = mysql_fetch_array($result);
/////////////////////////////////////////////////


try selecting the dropdown then post the resulting message to the screen

now when I select a make I get this message, SELECT * FROM car_model where car_model_id='3

Nothing in the second dropdown.

ok thats fine. You are passing in an ID correctly. Does that ID exist in the db?
mr_badger

Yes that id does exsist in the database, but could it be to do with NULL and NOT NULL in the database because I have 'make' in the car make table as NULL and both 'car_Model_id' and 'car_model' in the car model table as NULL.

2 tables both with data and both have a relationship id
mr_badger
07-02-2007, 08:42 PM

i cant see any problem with the code

if you echo...


echo $rowModel['car_model_id'];


do you see any results
davidj

where you have...


}while ($rowModel = mysql_fetch_array($result));


change $rowModel to $row
