echo "<label for='location' id='label'>select location:</label>"; echo "<select id='location' name='location'>"; echo "<option value=''>--select location--</option>"; $query = "select location_id, location location     location '<value previous drop down box>'     order location"; $result = $conn->query($query); while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {     echo '<option value="' . $row['location'] . '" >' . $row['location'] . '</option>'; }                                  

any thoughts? jim

may using substring_index function in wrong way.

in 1st select might not getting output or may blank rows.

according website -

substring_index(str,delim,count)

returns substring string str before count occurrences of delimiter delim. if count positive, left of final delimiter (counting left) returned. if count negative, right of final delimiter (counting right) returned. substring_index() performs case-sensitive match when searching delim.
