[FX.php List] Accessing a dynamic value list?

I have a value list that changes depending on which record someone  
views (a dynamic value list).

Is there a way to access it in FX and use it on a PHP page? I've  
tried everything that I can think of, but nothing has worked thus far.

To complicate the question more, how would I tell FileMaker *which*  
version of the value list I would like to see? In this app, it works  
like this:

If I pull up "Toyota" in the first pulldown and click CONTINUE, I go  
to a 2nd page.
On the 2nd page, I want to see a pulldown menu containing all Toyota  
models.

Before you suggest a simple FIND to find all the records that contain  
Toyota models, here's the rub: there are as many as 17 or 18 records  
for a single Toyota model, so if I do a FIND for all records that  
contain TOYOTA as the brand, I'll find not a dozen Toyota models,  
I'll find over a hundred, and my value list will have duplicate  
entries in it.

Any ideas? I'm sure this has been faced before, but couldn't find it  
in my archives.

Thanks,
