This seems to be possible, when you combine PHP and JavaScript.

Just make sure, that whenever there is a onChange event on the drop-down list
JavaScript reloads the page.

On the PHP side, just look at the selected value, and generate the second
drop-down list depending on that value.

Having javascript reload the page, without making the URL unique, can allow it
to be gotten from the cache. Appending the current time to the URL can make it
unique.

If you have PHP read the select and return a second page, why not just have a
submit button that submits the form, and then have PHP return the second page?
Or at a minimum, at least include the button for non-js browsers.
