<script type="text/javascript">
    function change_store() {
        var xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
        xmlhttp.open("GET","ajax.php?store="+document.getElementById("storeid").value,false);

        xmlhttp.send(null);

        document.getElementById("statedd").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;


    }
    function change_state() {
        var xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();

    }
    function change_district() {
        var xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
        xmlhttp.open("GET","ajax.php?district="+document.getElementById("districtid").value,false);

        xmlhttp.send(null);

        document.getElementById("citydd").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;

        xmlhttp.send(null);

        document.getElementById("branchdd").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;


    }


</script>
</body>
</html>

This is my ajax.php

    <?php
include 'dbconn/dbconfig.php';
?>
<?php
$store=$_GET["store"];
$state=$_GET["state"];

if($store!='')
{
$res=mysqli_query($db, "SELECT DISTINCT `STATE` FROM `master` WHERE `STORE`='$store' ORDER BY `STATE` ASC");
echo "<select id='stateid' onchange='change_state()'>";
while ($row=mysqli_fetch_array($res)) {


    echo "<option value=".$row['STATE'].">".$row['STATE']."</option>";
    }
echo "</select>";
}

if($state!='')
{
$res=mysqli_query($db, "SELECT DISTINCT `DISTRICT` FROM `master` WHERE `STATE` LIKE '$state%' AND `STORE`='$store' ORDER BY `DISTRICT` ASC");
echo "<select id='districtid' onchange='change_district()'>";
while ($row=mysqli_fetch_array($res)) {
    echo "<option value=".$row['DISTRICT'].">".$row["DISTRICT"]."</option>";

}
echo "</select>";

}

?>

This is my output

while changing state it doesn't processing list districts in select boxes console showing an error is

Notice: Undefined index: store in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\ifsctech\\ajax.php on line 5

problem is that the selected value of store is not able to use for next query to process. how to hold and send dynamic values of two select boxes to process query please help

Answer 1

This seems to be the problem

xmlhttp.open("GET","ajax.php?store="+document.getElementById("storeid").value,false);

Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user's experience. For more help, check https://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/ .

Even I was struggling with the same problem. What I found might be helpful for you as well. I will share what worked for me. You can refer to it.

<?php
//index.php
function load_state()
{
    $connect = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "","state_city");
    $output = '';
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM state ORDER BY state_name";
    $result = mysqli_query($connect, $sql);
    while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
        {
            $output .= '<option value="'.$row["state_id"].'">'.$row["state_name"].'</option>'; 
        }
        return $output;
}
?>

  <div class="container" style="width:600px;">

   <select name="state" id="state" class="form-control action">
    <option value="">Select State</option>
    <?php echo load_state(); ?>
   </select>
   <br />
   <select name="city" id="city" class="form-control">
    <option value="">Select City</option>
   </select>
  </div>
 </body>
</html>

<script>  
$(document).ready(function(){               
  $('#state').change(function(){  
       var state_id = $(this).val();  
       $.ajax({  
            url:"fetch.php",  
            method:"POST",  
            data:{stateId:state_id},
            dataType:"text",
            success:function(data)
            {  
                 $('#city').html(data);  
            }  
       });  
    });  
});
</script>

PHP Code

<?php
//fetch.php
$connect = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "state_city");
$output = '';
$sql = "SELECT * FROM city WHERE state_id = '".$_POST["stateId"]."' ORDER BY city_name";
$result = mysqli_query($connect, $sql);
$output = '<option value="">Select City</option>';
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
    $output .= '<option value="'.$row["city_id"].'">'.$row["city_name"].'</option>';
}
echo $output;
?>

Some points to consider:

For localhost, your database should have all dependent tables (db=state_city and tb=state, tb=city in my example). It won't work if you have different databases on localhost.
However, this relation works on a Apache Hosting Server on different databases as well.
tb = state [columns = state_id, state_name] => Primary key: state_id
tb = city [columns = city_id, state_id, city_name] => Primary key:
city_id
