When working with large datasets, auto-populating dropdown lists is a common requirement in web development.
With the help of jQuery AJAX, it’s possible to dynamically fill dropdown lists with data from a server in response to user input.
A common use case of this feature is when selecting a country, state, and city. According to the country selection related state list populates, followed by a list of cities within the selected state.
It enables users to quickly choose their location from a list of options and can enhance the user experience by requiring less manual input.
In this tutorial, I show how you can use jQuery AJAX and PHP to autopopulate dropdown with MySQL database data.
