Database generated dropdown menu

[supernatural_247]

does anyone know of a script that I can get to function like this app:

http://www.projectorcentral.com/search.cfm
(Or choose a projector:)

When you choose an option in the drop-down, it takes you to it's related page.

I would also like a back-end admin to create the item value and its related review/specs page. I checked hotscripts, but I don't know what this would be classified as... tried news publishing, classified ads, etc. with no luck. any help is much appreciated!!

Thanks,
Tim

The scripting language that performs the redirect isn't actually PHP. It's Javascript. Usually, when a form field change results in an immediate action without a submit button being pressed, it's Javascript.

In this case, this is the HTML/Javascript:

<SELECT NAME="part_id" ONCHANGE="submit()">

The onchange Javascript handler submits the form, which in turn retrieves the corresponding info from the form post and generates the page.

The back-end admin would really depend on what type of product it was, what information you wanted to show, the structure of the database, etc. There's about a million ways to handle this sort of thing, and I don't know of a generic script that will perform the task.
