Question

Sorry, newbie question I know, however I’ve currently got mySQL results only showing when using the echo command through PHP etc..

Now, I am able to source the information fine, however I would like the result of a query to show up in a form e.g.

Rather than :-

    $loggedinuser = $session->username;

    //$query = "SELECT surname, firstname FROM PASSENGER WHERE username = '$jared'";
    $query2 = "SELECT p.surname, f.destination FROM PASSENGER p, FLIGHT_INFO f WHERE p.username = '$loggedinuser' AND p.flightNo = f.flightNo";
    $result = mysql_query($query2);  
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['surname'] ." ". $row['destination'];
}

    echo mysql_error();

I would like to print the SQL result in a HTML form…e.g. one that follows the convention of:-

    Surname: <input type="text" name="firstname" value="echo $row['surname']/>

If you see where I am coming from. Is this really bad practice using forms to display mySQL results, or can it be done? If not really, what ways would you recommend I print the data? In a table of some sort, but how can I then use fields?

Regards,

Tom.

Something like this work:-

                            <?php

                    $loggedinuser = $session->username;

            //$query = "SELECT surname, firstname FROM PASSENGER WHERE username = '$jared'";
            $query2 = "SELECT p.surname, f.destination FROM PASSENGER p, FLIGHT_INFO f WHERE p.username = '$loggedinuser' AND p.flightNo = f.flightNo";
        $result = mysql_query($query2);  
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
    {

  "<form>"
  <input type="text" name="firstname" value="<?php echo {$row['surname']} ?>" disabled       />
     "</form>"
           }
               echo mysql_error();
       ?>

How can a new line be added between echo’s in the following code please?

                echo ' Surname: <input type="text" name="surname" value="'.$row['surname'].  "\" disabled /> ";
        echo 'Forename: <input type="text" name="surname" value="'.$row['forename']. "\" disabled />";
        echo 'Email Address: <input type="text" name="surname" value="'.$row['emailAddress']. "\" disabled />"; 
        echo 'Preference ID: <input type="text" name="surname" value="'.$row['dob']. "\" disabled />"; 
        echo 'Seat Number: <input type="text" name="surname" value="'.$row['seatNo']. "\" disabled />"; 
        echo 'Group ID: <input type="text" name="surname" value="'.$row['groupID']. "\" disabled />";
