Auto Drop Down Box - any php

I am trying to create 2 drop down boxes, for example Country and state so when country is selected it will show in the second drop down box the correct list of states (the list comes from mysql database because it is business categorys).

I am not sure how to make this work I hope some one can help.

Thanks

Since the list of states is in a mysql db I would suggest using AJAX.
(go to w3schools.com/ajax/default.asp for a tutorial).
Once someone selects the first dropdown that calls a javascript function that sends away the AJAX request to a php script. The php script writes back and fills in the data for the second dropdown. The w3school's site has a good php AJAX example.
