Auto fill

[steveby3]

I am trying to use eleven form fields on a php page where one of the fields will be used to enter a user name (or id number) and have the remaining fields fill in with the data I have for that user. I have over twenty records in m database and I need (I think) a menu/list as well that does the same thing so I can see all files in the list and click on a name (or id).

 

I need help on how to do this for a single field entry (user name) as I can remember (or view) the files using XAMPP but there will come a point where I am unable to do this so I would also need help with the menu/list option.

 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

I am new to databse SQL/PHP so a step by step guide would suit me best.

 

I am using XAMPP and Dreamweaver if this helps.

 

Thanks.

I don't know if its just me but your question is not at all clear. Which files are you talking about? What are you trying to acheive?

The files I refer to is the data in a table, my fault for calling them files. I have one database with one table containing information of twenty or more customers.  I am trying to design a php page with a username/ID form field for example <input name="" type="text"> with other empty fields. I type in the username into a field and the data in that record is placed in the remaining fields so I can then see a name, address etc.

 

I would also liketo be able to select a name from a menu/list that will place data into the fields from a record. I am asking for two different methods of doing the same thing.
