Javascript - get data from db on form fill x 2

Hello,

I am using the below code to get the information form the database and it works fine. The issue is that I want to do it twice, I want to do it as it is to find the client data phone/address/etc as well as fine the city state when the zip is entered.

So what I need is so that I can name another field 'zipData' instead of ClientID. I did try to copy and paste the code I am using and changed the all of the instances where is said ClientID to zipData and it will not work.

I would love any help.

Hello,

Well it is just a simple form:

<label>Email Address<span style="color:#F50">*</span><br />
<input type="text" class="input2" name="userId" id="clientID" value="" /></label><br /><br />

and the new one is

<label>Zip Code<span style="color:#F50">*</span><br />
<input type="text" class="input2" name="zip" id="zipCode" value="" /></label><br /><br />

The PHP for the clientID is:

<?php
/* Replace the data in these two lines with data for your db connection */
include ('db.php');

if(isset($_GET['getClientId'])){  
  $res = mysql_query("select * from members where userId='".$_GET['getClientId']."'") or die(mysql_error());
  if($inf = mysql_fetch_array($res)){
    echo "formObj.firstname.value = '".$inf["firstname"]."';\n";    
    echo "formObj.lastname.value = '".$inf["lastname"]."';\n";    
    echo "formObj.phonenumber.value = '".$inf["phonenumber"]."';\n";    
    echo "formObj.phonenumberext.value = '".$inf["phonenumberext"]."';\n";    
    echo "formObj.brokeredby.value = '".$inf["brokeredby"]."';\n";    
   
  }else{
    echo "formObj.firstname.value = '';\n";    
    echo "formObj.lastname.value = '';\n";    
    echo "formObj.phonenumber.value = '';\n";    
    echo "formObj.phonenumberext.value = '';\n";    
    echo "formObj.brokeredby.value = '';\n";        
  }    
}
?>
Hello again,

Below is the code I am using, they both work great unless they are on the same page, can someone please tell me what needs to be changed to let them work on the same form together.

I am assuming that I am erroring out the first one because of a call on the second one but I do not know enough about java to know what it is.

Hai,

1) You better to use like this
getClient.php?getClientId='+clientId&'getZipId='+zipId  - and the data once when you echo from getClient.php  file echo with those values and split in  initFormEvents() function and use the same script to display any where that you want.

2) If the case of using the functions like this rename the second functions,because you can not use the same function name for all the process,which will throw error

Thanks
Hello,

It sounds like you know what you have a great idea how to fix this but it is hard for me to read what your saying and understand how to translate it to the code.

Could you please show me, I would really appreciate it, it has been a 24 ordeal.

Thanks for all of your great help.
