Topic: PHP & MySQL Form Display

[mfkamande]

I am new to Web development. Am using PHP and My SQL Database. I am developing a transport management system. To manage users for the system, I have a combobox (select) which lists the user codes. I have a text box input which I want to display the name (other details from the database) every time the selection changes before submitting the form. How do I achieve this?

Hi
we can achieve this by using AJAX.

Here is the flow
----------------------
when you change the option in the select box call the javascript function.
you need to build the javascript function which will request to the php file.
php file should take the id and perform the database operations and echo the name.

in javascript you will get the response and that response you can assign to the textbox.

you try in this way and just search in the net you will get lot of scripts.

still if you are not clear how to do let me know with your requirements,i will give the code to you.
