Re: how to insert database value to a textbox

http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_select.asp Check this. Instead of echoing $row['FirstName'] and $row['LastName'] in the example, assign it to a variable and use it as the 'value' of the textbox.

<input type="text" name="firstname" value="<?php echo $firstname; ?>">

Re: how to insert database value to a textbox

textbox inside <?php tags ? Yep, you have to echo it. But this way.

echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" value=\"$firstname\">";
