Hello everyone
I am quite new here and have a very tricky issue that bothers since days.
I posted the question on the PHP forum together with a sample of my embarrassing code. If this is wrong that I raise the issue here in MySQL forum, too, please forgive me, just let me know and I won't repeat it. PROMISE
I have a php form with 18 fields (one entire table) which I use to manually enter data into my MySQL DB. This works just fine.
Now I wanted to use the same form to retrieve a row's date by typing a search term into a newly added "search" field.
When the search matches a row's entry, the form fields would be filled with the row's data for viewing and then I could change any data and update the database.
I am stuck, can't get it together. the form page can be viewed here ...
Thank you very much
