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; ?>">

textbox inside <?php tags ? Yep, you have to echo it. But this way.
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" value=\"$firstname\">";

Or u can write as

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

While displaying the data from the database on a text box, I can access only the first part of the name. You had the same problem it seems. Did you find any solution for that? I need to access the whole data.
This is the code i've usedecho "Reg.No.:";

While displaying the data from the database on a text box, I can access only the first part of the name. For example, if the name is 'Five Star', only the name 'Five' is displayed. Can you help in this? I'm just a beginner.
This is the code i've used echo "Reg.No.:";
