How can PHP be used to dynamically filter values in dropdown boxes based on user selection?

To dynamically filter values in dropdown boxes based on user selection using PHP, you can utilize AJAX to send requests to the server and update the dropdown options based on the user's selection. This can be achieved by creating a PHP script that fetches the filtered data from a database or another data source based on the user's input and returns it to the client-side JavaScript for updating the dropdown. 

<?php

// Assume $selectedValue is the value selected by the user
$filteredOptions = getFilteredOptions($selectedValue);

// Output the filtered options as JSON
echo json_encode($filteredOptions);

// Function to get filtered options based on user selection
function getFilteredOptions($selectedValue) {
    // Perform database query or any other data retrieval method to get filtered options
    // Return the filtered options as an array
    return ['Option 1', 'Option 2', 'Option 3'];
}

?>
