IM/IS Search Hierarchy

A simple amendment to two existing CakePHP/MySQL web applications to add Country and Area to already completed Resort level property search. The sites both currently search for properties by Resorts. We need to be able to first search by Country, then by Area and then by Resort. The Country and Area details are already available in the database. ## Deliverables Currently the Resort search drop-down menu lists all of the available Resorts on the system. With the new levels of Country and Area the search tool will work as follows; Say there are 5 Countries in the database. The Countries dropdown menu will list all 5 countries. When the user selects a Country the Area drop-down menu will only list the Areas within the selected Country. Likewise when an Area is selected, the Resorts dropdown only lists resorts in that Area within that Country. The extra parameters of Country and Area will, obviously, have to be added to the query that selects the properties from the database.
