Populate a Text field via MYSQL Drop Down
Hi All,
I'm quite new to PHP/MySQL and I'm trying to create a Job Card for our company. I have created a page with a MySQL/PHP dropdown which works great, but I need to populate the text box with the dropdown selection.
I have found a few examples using Javascript, but none of them seems to work. Am I doing something wrong or missing something. Below is my code:
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Job Card</title>
<script language=Javascript>
function Choice()
{
form1.users2.value = form1.users.value;
}
</script>
<?PHP
// Make Connection
include 'dbconfig.php';
// Retreive data from database
mysql_connect($dbhost2, $dbuser2, $dbpass2) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($dbname2) or die(mysql_error());
$user_query = "SELECT concat(first_name, ' ', last_name) as fullname FROM users ORDER BY first_name";
$user_result = mysql_query($user_query);
$client_query = "SELECT name FROM accounts ORDER BY name";
$client_result = mysql_query($client_query);
?>
</head>
<body>
<Form name ="form1" Method ="POST" Action ="submitform.php">
<p>Please Select a User:<br>
<Select Name = "users" onChange='Choice();'>User Name:</Option>
<?php
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($user_result))
{
echo '<Option value="'.$row['id'].'">'.$row['fullname'].'</Option>';
}
?>
</Select>
<p><Input Type ="text" id="users2" name="users2">
<p><Input Type ="Submit" Value ="Submit" Name ="submit" >
</Form>
</body>
</html>
