Hi, you will need to do this with a Client side scripting (JavaScript) and not Server side (PHP).

Thanks for your reply, but i want to populate everything from database

You select the options (all of them) from the database and write them out as JS arrays (or json).

The interactivity can then happen on the client - how practical this is depends on how many options have the potential to be displayed.

You could also divide some of this work up using Ajax.

I know this is a little last decade, but you could simply reload the page with each selection. That would allow you to use PHP to populate the next list based on the previous choice.
