How to Set HTML Text to Server Information - php

Question

I've tried things like setting a $var to the MySQL information (such as name or password), then pulling it with PHP, but I cannot figure the PHP out to do so. I use the server connect code as well. I have checked ASP.net out, but don't find any information on altering HTML text to equal SQL information. How might I go about accomplishing this?
One example: The account balance on my website is displayed in the bottom right corner, but I need to pull the balance from a column of my table from my database. What code would I use to set that paragraph element to the server value of account_balance?
My PHP/SQL for Registration:
<?php
$con=mysql_connect(DB_HOST,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD) or die("Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysql_error());
$db=mysql_select_db(DB_NAME,$con) or die("Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysql_error());
$email = $_POST['email'];
$emailConfirm = $_POST['confirmemail'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$passwordConfirm = $_POST['confirmpassword'];
$fname = $_POST['fname'];
$lname = $_POST['lname'];
$countryCode = $_POST['countrycode'];
$phoneNumber = $_POST['phone'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$zipCode = $_POST['zipcode'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$state = $_POST['state'];
$country = $_POST['country'];
$dateOfBirth = $_POST['birthdate'];
$registerDate = "CURDATE()";
$registerTime = "CURTIME()";
$paymentMethod = $_POST['moneymethod'];
if($email == $emailConfirm && $password == $passwordConfirm){
if(!empty($email) && !empty($_POST['confirmemail']) && !empty($password) && !empty($_POST['confirmpassword']) && !empty($fname) && !empty($lname) && !empty($countryCode) && !empty($phoneNumber) && !empty($address) && !empty($zipCode) && !empty($city) && !empty($state) && !empty($country) && !empty($paymentMethod)){
$query = "INSERT INTO user_information (email,password,f_name,l_name,country_code,phone_number,address,city,state,zip_code,country,money_option,join_date,join_time) VALUES ('$email','$password','$fname','$lname','$countryCode','$phoneNumber','$address','$city','$state','$zipCode','$country','$paymentMethod','$registerDate','$registerTime')";
$data = mysql_query ($query)or die(mysql_error());
if($data){
header( 'Location: http://www.madmater.com/register/success.php' );
}else{
echo "Unknown Error!";
}
}else{
echo 'Please fill out all required fields before completing your registration!';
}
}else{
echo 'Your passwords or emails do not match!';
}
?>
I have only tried a simple PHP command, as it is the only thing I could think of, being new to MySQL.
$fname = $_POST['fname']; //From form
echo "<script type="text/javascript">document.getElementById("fname-holder").innerHTML($fname);</script>";
Even a hint of where to start would help, and thank you in advanced.

Answer 1

Since I don't know which row your account balance is called, I've used account_balance as an example in order to get you started.
Here is a basic method to retrieve information from your database:
$fname = stripslashes($_POST['fname']);
$fname = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['fname']);
// or if DB connnection is required
// $fname = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['fname'], $db);
$query = "SELECT * FROM user_information WHERE f_name = '$fname'";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)){
$user = $row['f_name'];
$balance = $row['account_balance'];
echo "Username: " . $user;
echo "<br>";
echo "Balance: " . $balance;
}
or mysql_fetch_assoc() depending on what method you wish to use.
For more information on MySQL's SELECT, visit:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/select.html
You can also try:
$row = mysql_fetch_array($query);
foreach($row as $r) {
echo $r . "<br>";
}
or:
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);
foreach($row as $r) {
echo $r . "<br>";
}
Footnotes:
I have to state that your present code is open to SQL injection. Use mysqli with prepared statements, or PDO with prepared statements, they're much safer.

Answer 2

There is no sql code in this example. Besides the error i found in this code of PHP for ' is not used.
$fName = $_POST['fname'] //This is from my register form
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>document.getElementById('fname-field').innerHTML(".$fname.");</script>";
and try to give some insert/update code also.

Answer 3

Use form submit your values,
In that form in action give register.php
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_post);
echo"</pre>;
use that you got value
then $name= $_post['name']
$query = "INSERT INTO "Tablename" set name= '".$name."',addeddate=now();
This way you can write.
