Select box to populate form fields with values from MySQL db after an option is selected?

Asked by Habilee in PHP and Databases

Tags: populate, form, fields, phpdbform, select

Hi experts.

I am the computer specialist (Americorps Vista Volunteer) for the Lee County Alabama Habitat for Humanity Affiliate and am designing some web software for my affiliaite. If successful it will be exported to other affiliates as well. .

i am looking for a way to have a select box draw its options from a mysql table. When one of the options is selected, I would like for the rest of the form to be automatically populated with information from that table based on the option that was selected. My executive director said that some javascript will probably be needed to make this happen.

I've put together some pictures of what I am trying to do at this website.

http://www.habilee.org/question/question.htm

If you have some sample source code, that does this would be great. Phpdbform does a great job of this, however I am planning to use queries from multiple tables and use joins and date formats which I don't see easily doing with phpdbform with my current experience (7 months) .

Also, I will eventually need to code this functionality into an existing project at http://www.calendar.leecountyhabitat.org/Page/calendar.php.

Someday later on this year I would like to build in an online registration function for volunteers but first I would really like to learn how to get this select form working independent of phpdbform so that I can setup my own custom queries and joins.

I thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Sincerely
