fill combo box with data

[shirvo]

i want to make a form that lets me (ADMIN) login and pull up someones data from selecting there username from a combo box and then filling the text boxes with there data eg. first name, lastname, email, and userlevel. I want to be able to change the user level and update it in the my sql database

So? That pretty much sums up what PHP applications do. What is your question?

ok let me say it better. i want to get the shirvo out of the combo box. the way shirvo is in the box is because it was filled with all the usernames from the database. then once i get shirvo out of the combo box i can do the rest.

You want to do it on the same page without submitting data? ie: select the name the the data appears in the boxes that are also on the same page?  Or you select a name, click submit, then edit the data on the next page?

The first option requires javascript and in my opinion is the less efficient way to do it.  The second is a much better option.
