not really a PHP question, since the drop-down menu is client-side feature.basically you can use onchange="window.open()" feature in select

This is a specific question about your particular system. How are the usernames stored?

Here's what I'd do...

window.open('http://yourdomain.com/page.php?user='+this.value)

Hopefully, that'll become....
?user=djr33, if you chose my screenname from the list.

Then in the page that opens....

<?php echo $_GET['user']; ?>

That outputs the username.

Instead of using echo, use another function to get the info from the database. I can't give you that code because I have no idea how your system works.

If you are already using javascript to open the window, any variable on the page that opened the window is available on the page in the opened window, as long as the opener is still open. For example, if username on the opener is bob:

var username='bob';

You can get that value on the opened page:

alert(opener.username);

Will, in this case pop up an alert saying:

bob
