Address item in combo list

[34534534534555]

Hi,

I am very new to PHP...

I have a combo box (list) on a page that displays a recordset resulting from a mySQL db query. When i select different items in the combo, i want to update (on the fly) a hidden text field on the page with the data from another column, the same record in the same table.
-Would someone be so kind as to tell me how to do this.,

Also, how do i address the selected item in a combo box (list) and store it in a variable? in VB6 i would use something like "nameofcombobox.listindex".

Thanks in Advance

Are you talking about client-side scriptinG? PHP is server-side only. You'll have to submit the form to gain access to the values from PHP.
