trying to insert value from a database into a form
The below code is a form to insert a record into a database (test). I want to be able to key in the apt in the form & insert the name from the database (prerentdb) into the input box. Is this possible ? Sorry, Just learning PHP.
PHP Code:
<?php
$apt=$_POST['apt'];
$name=$_POST['name'];
$stat = mysql_connect(localhost,root,"") or die('Unable to connect to database: ' . mysql_error());
$stat = mysql_select_db(prerentdb) or die('Unable to select database: ' . mysql_error());
$query = "SELECT apt,name FROM payments WHERE apt='$apt'";
$stat = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());
?>
<html>
<BODY onload="document.form.apt.focus()">
<b>Maintenance Log insert form<p>
<form name=form action="testinsert.php" method="post">
<INPUT TYPE="text" size=2 name=apt
onKeyUp="if(this.value.length==this.size)document.form.name.focus();">Apt#<BR>
