Filtering multiple recordset.

Question

I have posted 2 more discussions on the forum so i do aplogise but i am unsure the best way to describe what i am looking for
i have a product page. with links to individual products
<a href="product-description.php?ID=<?php echo $row_Recordset1['ID']; ?>"><img src="../images/AW/thumbs/<?php echo $row_Recordset1['imageSmall']; ?>"/></a>
on the product page i need to call in other tables based on the catagory of the product and sizes of the product,
i have created multiple recordsets joining the table but need help with the filtering of the information
i have a recordset showing the product information (basics - name, size, price)
$colname_Recordset1 = "-1";
if (isset($_GET['ID'])) {
  $colname_Recordset1 = $_GET['ID'];
mysql_select_db($database_beau, $beau);
$query_Recordset1 = sprintf("SELECT * FROM beauProd WHERE ID = %s", GetSQLValueString($colname_Recordset1, "int"));
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $beau) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
i have a recordset to join the size table with the product table
$colname_Recordset2 = "-1";
if (isset($_GET['SizeProdID'])) {
  $colname_Recordset2 = $_GET['SizeProdID'];
mysql_select_db($database_beau, $beau);
$query_Recordset2 = sprintf("SELECT * FROM beauProd, beauSizes WHERE beauSizes.SizeProdID = beauProd.SizeProdID AND beauProd.SizeProdID = %s", GetSQLValueString($colname_Recordset2, "int"));
$Recordset2 = mysql_query($query_Recordset2, $beau) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset2);
$totalRows_Recordset2 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset2);
in the body i have a select list that needs to display the records of all the products in that catagory
<form id="FormName" action="" method="get" name="FormName">
            <table width="300">
              <tr>
                <td><select name="name" class="text" id="selectName">
                  <option value="Select Design">Select Design</option>
                  <?php
do {
?>
                  <option value="<?php echo $row_Recordset1['ID']; ?>"><?php echo $row_Recordset1['name']; ?></option>
                  <?php
} while ($row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1));
  $rows = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
  if($rows > 0) {
      mysql_data_seek($Recordset1, 0);
            $row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
?>
                </select></td>
                <td><div align="right">
                  <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="select" />
                </div></td>
              </tr>
            </table>
          </form>
and a select list that needs to show the sizes of each product
<select name="os0" class="text" id="Cos0">
    <option value="select Category">Select Size</option>
    <?php
do {
?>
    <option value="<?php echo $row_Recordset2['SizeProdID']; ?>"><?php echo $row_Recordset2['from'] . " - " . $row_Recordset2['to'] ; ?></option>
    <?php
} while ($row_Recordset2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset2));
  $rows = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
  if($rows > 0) {
      mysql_data_seek($Recordset2, 0);
            $row_Recordset2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset2);
?>
  </select>
the way i have it at the moment i cant get either select list to work. CAN ANYONE ADIVSE PLEASE

In the stock table, prod_id and size_id must be declared as a joint primary key. This ensures that only one record can be created for each combination of product and size.
There are 50 Baby-gros for 0-3 months in stock. Baby-gros for 3-6 months are normally available, but currently out of stock.
T-shirts for 6-12 months, 12-24 months, and ages 2-4 are normally available. There is stock for all except age 3.
[Edited to correct the prod_id values in the stock table]
