I have an sql table named clients where each client is stored in a row, with a unique (auto increment) id and the column names are: clientname, clientlastname, clientmobile and so on.
I want to make an array that will retrieve the contents of a specific client (row) and will be like : clientname => lalala, clientlasthname=>lalalala...
and so on.
Then I want to display the results in an html form (non submitable, just display) each cell in the form has a unique id and name same as the column names of the sql db.
I just new at it and cant seem to get it. Here's what I've done so far:
<?php
header("Content-Type:text/html; charset=utf-8");
if ($_POST) {
$link = mysql_connect("localhost","userid","pw");
if (!$link) { die("Database Connection Failed". mysql_error()); }
mysql_set_charset('utf8',$link);
$db_select = mysql_select_db("form2",$link);
if(!$db_select){ die("Database Selection Failed " . mysql_error()); }
} else { echo "Search:"; }
?>
<html>
<head> </head>

<form class="form" id="dsearch" name="dsearch" action="dsearch.php" method="POST" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
<div class="dsearch">
<li class="ui-widget"><label for="clients">client id: </label><input class="client" name="searchcid" style="width:100px" /></li>
<li class="cell3"><input type="submit" value="Αναζήτηση" style="color:green; width:210px; " /></li>
</div>
</form>
<div class="results">
<?php
$result1 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM clients WHERE id='$_POST[searchcid]'", $link);
if(!$db_select) { die("No Data found in db " . mysql_error()); };
$items=array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result1)){
$items[$row['id']] = $row['dlastname'];
/* here is where I need the help I guess,
I need to fill the $items array with the data formatted as mentioned above.
And after that I want to populate a form that I haven't already written with the
values ,any help or maybe any suggestions on some tutorials I could go study
would be appreciated.
It goes on like this: */
}
print_r ($items);
?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<?php
if ($_POST) {
mysql_close($link);
}
?>
Edit: figured out how to get the array
$clinfo=array();
$clinfo=mysql_fetch_assoc($result1);
print_r ($clinfo);
Now I need a way to go put the data where the field id equals the id of the docinfo array
figured out how to do it with a little php and jquery, here it is:
$(document).ready(function(){
<?php
if($_GET){
foreach($docinfo as $key=>$val) {
echo "$('#" . $key . "').val('" . htmlspecialchars($val) ."');";
}
}
?>
});
This creates a jquery line for each cell id and fills it with the appropriate value
Any comments or improvements are extremely appreciated
