Populating An Html Form With Mysql Data.
What I have is a basic html form I have made consisting of header fields and fileds that will be populated from a mysql database. The brackets are the actual db fields and denote where I want the data to populate. Here is a small example of the form. Code:

Using A Php Html Form With Data Which Is Loaded From A Mysql Database.
I am using a php html form with data which is loaded from a mysql database. Three of the fields are textareas. The data loads into these fields fine, except that the loaded text starts at what appears to be 2 or 3 tab characters to the left. See illustration: +---------<this is a textarea object>---------+ | This is about the way that| |the text loads from the database field. | | | | | +---------------------------------------------+ It's almost as if there's a textarea "align" property which is set to "center" by default unless otherwise explicitly stated. Is there some setting in the wrap property that will fix this, or should I be looking elsewhere?

Using Includes: Html Form Parse Data Inside 2nd Form.
i'm coming down the stretch, so to speak. i've got a lot of the separate things settled that i need for my main "date entry" form. due to the several data items which need to be collected by this form, i've decided to try using includes, which i've found isn't that tricky at all really. however, one of my includes needs itself to parse it's own little form data to result in the final entry to be submitted in the "date entry" form. perhaps doing this particular bit as an "include" is NOT the best option?

Using Html Form Data
I'm trying to send and receive data interactively to an html form and am having trouble processing the returned data. The idea is as follows: - Retrieve records from a SQL DB and populate an array to send four of the fields from each record to an html table. - As each row of the html table is built (using a loop) it includes a checkbox field (used temporarily, and not for return to the SQL DB) so the user can select one or more of the displayed records. My problem is getting the record ids of the selected rows (checked boxes) back to my php processor so I can use the selections to populate a new array. I can't seem to grab and use any of the data from the checked rows. In the end, I need the record ID and road name fields for later use. Code:

Pass Data From One Html Form To Another
I've created a 2 page application form in html. Once the person has completed the first page and submits, I send an email with the form data using a php which then redirects to a second .html page. Once the second page has been filled out, and the person click submit, a second php is run and I receive a second email with the data from the second page. I need to be able to pass the person's last name from the first page to the second in order to know who has filled out the second page. Is there a way to send data from one form to another through a php script?

Populating Fresh Data
Im building a live web chat using php, mysql, javascript, ajax I am fine with sending and retreiving data in real time using ajax as the transfer protocol However, my problem, which is becoming a nightmare, is how to I display it !! Lets say the below is the chat screen, <div id="messages"> Jamie - Hello Peter = Hi Jamie = Nice Day Peter = I know </div> Lets say Jamie's next message is "What are you doing today". I can send that off to the database no problem and I can get peters live chat to pull that message in, however, how do I get it to display underneath Peter = I know As a practice I was using document.getelementbyid('messages').innerHTML = document.getelementbyid('messages').innerHTML + "<BR>What are you doing today" That works, but, lets just say the chat gets to 1000 lines, for each new message those 1000 lines have to be pulled out via javascript, a new line written to it and then printed back in the div Im not sure but I'd take a good guess at this not being optimal and will cause CPU load on the users machine What is the best way to do this! Chat messages are deleted after 1 minute, but that doesnt matter because by then they have already been sent the the users chat. Just incase you are thinking of completely repopulating there chat with every message they have sent since the chat started..

Populating <options> Tag With SQL Data?

Create A Data Entry HTML Form For Given Table
I am working on a simple web site updating utility for a web site. Rather than hard code the data entry forms, I would like to automactically generate them based upon the table a user selects to update or insert into. What is the best way to approach this? for "insert" should I use the MySQL DESCRIBE table command and build a form element for each field according to its data type? for "update" should I use the DESCRIBE command to build the form as above and SELECT statement to populate each element with data, or should I just use a SELECT statement to retrieve the data and use php to determine the field type and choose an appropriate form element?

Populating Form Text Box.
I have a PHP form for entering data on-line into a mySQL table.. Because of the intended search facility, I require one field in the form to be completed with exact and precise item names and spelling. In testing, I had achieved this with look-up tables. Ideally I would like the selected item from one of five drop-down lists to autopopulate the form text field when selected. Alternatively at least the option of copy and paste. Copy and paste - for some reason will not work. Autofill worked fine on a test form with no database connection and in standard HTML and javascript, however, once the PHP is added to the page neither method works. Could anyone please point me in the direction of how to get the autofill to work?

Comparing Form Data To Mysql Data
Im interested in building a script that would take form data, a variable like an address, and compare it with a known address in a mysql table (called addresses), then if there is a match log the address information in a separate table called (addresslog), and return the visitor to a certain page. If there is no match between the address entered in the form and known addresses then the information is still logged into the addresslog database but the visitor will be sent to a different page. I'm still new to this, and am working through the logic and the syntax, but I believe I'm close. It's still not working, I have all of the proper tables, maybe I'm way off with the coding so I thought I would seek out some expert advice. Here's the entire script with as much explanation as I could give. PHP Code:

How To Populate HTML Form From PHP/MySQL

Specifically, I have an HTML form which contains several text boxes that correspond to the fields in a MySQL file. What I want to do is call a PHP form that reads one record from MySQL and then populates all of the HTML fields on the calling form. The call to MySQL is not a problem - that works and I can use "Echo" to verify that I have successfully read a record. Now, how do I get that data back into the original HTML form?

XHTML Strict - HTML Entities - Conversions On MySQL Data
I am using the XHTML Strict doctype for my website. Some of the site content is generated from a MySQL database. The data, for essays, articles, etc., is plain text but interspersed with HTML code for links and images. For XHTML strict, I need to convert characters like '&' to '&' and '>' to '>'. So, 'Mary & John' becomes 'Mary & John'. Some of the URLs have '&' in them, and I need to convert them to '&' too. (XHTML-compliance requirement). When I try the htmlspecialchars() function, it converts everything, including the link codes (such as the '<' in '<a href=...'). Any suggestions on how I can achieve this 'rendering'? I don't want to modify the MySQL data.
