First off, I'm sorry if this is the wrong section, I've been visiting this site off and on for awhile now, but today is my first day joining.
Second, I was wondering if there is a way to... auto load, I guess you could say, data from a mssql database, after the first text is entered. I.E. I enter the username, and it loads a question they made earlier from the database.
I can post the code if needed. I'm basically trying to make a Password Change PHP script.
Post some of the code you've tried.
If what you want to accomplish is load only part of the page after it has been loaded already by the browser, this can only be done with AJAX as far as I am aware.
I can't find my password change one at the moment, but here is my registration one. It's set up basically the same way, just that the question isn't an option, and is supposed to load from the database.
