How to show mysql data in html input text? - php

Question

I have created html file with generated text, and i want to populate fields like name and date from mysql database. The thing is i am trying to show data from mysql in html input text tag. But it only shows letter S.
This is my php code:
<?php
$db_host = ''; // Server Name
$db_user = ''; // Username
$db_pass = ''; // Password
$db_name = ''; // Database Name
$con = mysqli_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass, $db_name);
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
$result = "SELECT ime_prezime,datumpocetka,datumzavrsetka,broj_dana,sektor,
mesto,tip,obrazlozenje,vreme_slanja
FROM godisnji
WHERE id=74";
mysqli_close($con);
?>
And this is a part of my html code:
<p style="text-align:justify">1. Zaposlenom <input name="lname" type="text" value="<?php echo $result['ime_prezime'];?>"/>
na poslovima $posao, se odobrava
korišćenje godišnjeg odmora za 2018. godinu, u trajanju od 20 radnih dana.</p>

Answer 1

Just because...
Now this is very basic and you should learn to use PDO or at least the mysqli class. But for now...
This is a little demonstration code... ( It may have bugs as I have not run it )
<?php
// The Database Connection Stuff should be in it's own file
// and included in each file that requires a database connection.
$db_host = ''; // Server Name
$db_user = ''; // Username
$db_pass = ''; // Password
$db_name = ''; // Database Name
$con = mysqli_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass, $db_name);
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
// Create the SQL
$sql = "SELECT ime_prezime,datumpocetka,datumzavrsetka,broj_dana,sektor,
mesto,tip,obrazlozenje,vreme_slanja
FROM godisnji
WHERE id=74";
// Run the SQL statement
$query = mysqli_query($con,$sql);
// Read back the ROW as an associative array
$result = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query);
// DEBUG to learn what you get back and CHECK it's what you expect!
var_dump($result);
// If it exists...
echo ($result['ime_prezime']);
mysqli_close($con);
// Then Read up on how to use PDO or mysqli Class
And as a suggestion, due to the fact you won't always have a valid value you could use instead of...
<?php echo $result['ime_prezime'];?>
Try this
<?= isset($result['ime_prezime'])?$result['ime_prezime']:'';?>
The above tests whether $result['ime_prezime'] exists, and if it does it will print it, else it will print ''.

<?php
$db_host = ''; // Server Name
$db_user = ''; // Username
$db_pass = ''; // Password
$db_name = ''; // Database Name
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($db_host, $db_user , $db_pass , $db_name );
if ($conn->connect_error)
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . $conn->connect_error;
}
$result = "SELECT ime_prezime,datumpocetka,datumzavrsetka,broj_dana,sektor,
mesto,tip,obrazlozenje,vreme_slanja FROM godisnji WHERE id=74";
$sqlQuery = $conn->query($result);
$value = $sqlQuery->fetch_assoc()['ime_prezime'];
echo "<p style='text-align:justify'>1. Zaposlenom <input
name='lname'type='text' value='".$value."'/></p>";
$conn->close();
?>
