I would like to also retrieve manufacturer and serial number when I submit the form showing the computer model in a FAVORITES pulldown list:

<select name="model" style="width: 300px;">
<?

$query=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM laptop WHERE model='$model' and

favorite='favorite'") or die(mysql_error());

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
$j = mysql_num_fields($query);
        for($i=0;$i<$j;$i++) {
            $k = mysql_field_name($query,$i);
            $$k = $row[$k];

        }
echo "<option value =\"$row[model]\">$row[model] </option>\n";


}
?>
</select>

When I submit this form, I want to also insert, the $make and $serial from the row. This is to reduce entering repetitve data on frequently used laptop models, thanks.

Well to accomplish this I wouldnt do it when displaying the form.. I would just do it when you process the form.

Thanks Outkast, but I posted the same question in "The PHP Lounge" and Maloid helped supply the remedy. Thanks for your response.

No problem.. that is what I am here for.. to help!
