here's my code. I'm new to php. so sorry in advance. I actually want to check my input in txtbarcode and if it is existing in my database I would like to populate the txtdescription but I don't know how to do it or is it even possible?
<?php
$barcode = $_POST['txtbarcode'];
$query = "SELECT * FROM product WHERE product_id = '$barcode'";
$query_exe = mysql_query($query);
$chk_query = mysql_num_rows($query_exe);
if($chk_query > 0)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query_exe);
?>
<th class = "textbox"><input type = "text" name = "txtbarcode" value = "<?php echo $row['product_id']; ?>" style="width:80px"/></th>
<th class = "textbox"><input type = "text" name = "txtdescription" value = "<?php echo $row['product_name']; ?>" style="width:100px"/></th>
<?php
}
?>
