Hi there everyone,
How can I copy distinct results of a query to a table in a DB? I have 3 pulldowns,
the first one selects the category, then the second one gets the holiday type based on
the category, and the third one gets from countries where category = category AND
holiday type = holiday type. The problem is there is almost 30,000 entries which it
needs to sort through and it takes a few seconds for each pulldown to be calculated,
is there a better way than the below
Basically i'm guessing I can grab the results and then insert them into a seperate
table so that I only save the unique results and so don't have to sort once i've
created the new table?
Thanks for your help everyone,
Chris

?$result = mysql_query(select distinct category from search ORDER BY
category);?
select name=category onChange=submit()
? if ($category ==){
?
optionMake a Selection/option
?} else {
?
optionSelected /option
? }?
? if ($result)
{ while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{ echo OPTION VALUE=\.$myrow[category].\.
$myrow[category]. /OPTION; }?
