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?

Re-populating Text Fields
When a user submits a form on my page and there are errors, the page returns the errors and re-populates the correct fields - So the user doesnt have to complete them again. I using the below code to do that...

<input style="width:200px; "  name="userfile" type="file"  id="menu_textbox" value="<?print $file_path; ?>" />

However, for the file upload field above it doesnt seem to work and the user must select the file they wish to upload from there computer again. Should the code for this be a little different or is there something I am missing?

Populating Table With Text File
My web hosting service uses phpMyAdmin and at the bottom of the screen
iis an area where I can upload a text file to populate a table.

I have a table named groups with two fields:
groups_idauto-increment primary
groups_name

So how do I create my text file to populate this table?

I'm going to use MS Notepad.

If it's set to auto-increment, do I need to include the number? If
so, does it start at 0 (zero)?

Would the file look like:

0,students
1,faculty
2, staff

or just

students
faculty
staff

Re-populating A Form If Errors
I am learning php. I have created a simple Web page with a form.
After receing the POST request, I do some error checking. In case of
errors, I would like to re-post the page, but with the current values
for each field.

I have organized my files like this:
1) Webpage with the form (all in html, form action points to a php
file)
2) php file that receives the request.

Populating Form Item From SQL Enum Set Rev#2
$sql = "SHOW COLUMNS FROM table LIKE 'subject' ";
$qry = mysql_query($sql) or die("Query not valid: " . mysql_error());
$res = mysql_fetch_object($qry);
// This returns a row with a field 'Type' containing 'enum(...)'

$res->Type = str_replace('enum('', '', $res->Type);
$res->Type = str_replace('')', '', $res->Type);
//now the string is something like this: one','two','three

$temp = explode('','',$res->Type);
//temp is an array with as much elements as the enum

while ($temp)
print array_pop($temp);


This way is much more easier using the elements since they are elements
of an array. Cleaver isn't it?

Populating A Form Wth Database Info
I've coded a piece of code which populates a form with data read from the database:

$result=mysql_select_db("QUERIES");
$query=mysql_query("Select * from Emp_Details where emp_num = '$employnum'");

{$empname=$row['emp_name'];}

<form name="webregform" action="webadmin2.php" method="post">
<input name="requiredname" type="text" size="30" value="<?php echo "$empname"; ?>">
</form>

When I echo the $requiredname, I get spaces and no data, and I know that $empname is not a space-it does read a value in a database. 1. How can I get $requiredname to print a value?

Populating Form From Database, Then Passing Results To Next Page
I have a multiple select input in a form that's being populated by a row

$codcliente = $_POST['Field1'];
