working model
<?php
//Array contents array 1 :: value
$myArray1 =
array('1960','1961','1962','1963','1964','1965','1966','1967','1968','1969' );
//Array contents array 2 :: key => value
$myArray2 =
array('1'=> 'A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M','N','O','P','Q','R','S' ,'T','U','V','W','X','Y','Z');
//Values from array 1
echo'<select name="Year">';
echo "<br>";
//for each value of the array assign a variable name word
foreach($myArray1 as $word){
echo'<option value="'.$word.'">'.$word.'</option>';
echo "<br>";
}
echo'</select>';
echo "<br>";
//Values from array 2
echo'<select name="Letter">\n';
echo "<br>";
//for each key of the array assign a variable name let
//for each value of the array assign a variable name word
foreach($myArray2 as $let=>$word){
echo'<option value="'.$let.'">'.$word.'</option>\n';
echo "<br>";
}
echo'</select>';
echo "<br>";
?>
Again, all the sites I visit discuss this part of things.
When they do discuss the rest, they use a database.
For this excercise, I am NOT using a database. Just a straightforward 2d
array on the page itself.
My goal is to populate the left column with the selected 2 items.
Showing the list of names.
Then the right column will show more data on that selected name.
I can do this fairly easily with an iframe, but I want to try NOT using an
iframe for once.
If I have to do this part with javascript, that's not a problem.
But, can javascript use the same php array as I have it?
My array now is in the form of $test[][].
FYI, when you visit the page, slow systems may take awhile.
The file size is around 2mb.

Discuss what? How to assemble a select box from an array?

If you want it done with a simple selection of a drop down on your
CLIENT, do YOU think with PHP being for the most part SERVER side that
PHP can do it?
OK OK don't hurt yourself, the answer for YOU is use JS.
Secondly, javascript again for the most part being CLIENT driven, what
array have you sent to the clients browser?

How in the heck do you have a 2mb page file? Never mind I don't think I
want to know.

6900 rows, 12 columns with lots of data in each cell.
All those quotes, [], and = add up.

You may consider using some kind of pagination. :)
