I want to display a number of textboxes in a form based on the selected option from a dropdown listbox.

For example, if user selects 1 then 1 textbox should be shown and if user selects 2 then 2 textboxes should be displayed. And I need to do it in PHP.

I found some answers using jQuery. Can we use jQuery inside PHP? If yes, then how?

Edit

@Edwin Alex 
This is how my select option looks like.

```
<h2><u>DEPENDENT DETAILS</u></h2><br />
            <table  border="1" style="border-style:dotted" width="100%" id="dependenttable">
            <tr><td>No of Dependent</td><td><select name="numDep" id="dropdown">
                <option value="">Please Select</option>
                <option value="0">0</option>
                <option value="1">1</option>
                <option value="2">2</option></select></td></tr>

            <tr id="textboxDiv"></tr>

```

At the end of file inside <> these I have written your code.
