I will start off by saying I am new to coding so i find this very difficult, also i have asked a few questions recently, mainly because i am REALLY STUCK, so all help is really appreciated.
I have two tables. Employee (Employee_ID, First_name, Last_name, Address etc) and Training (Training_ID, Employee_ID, First_name, Last_name, Training_type).
For the training table, I have a form in which is meant to be filled out to assign a training type for an employee.
OK currently, the dropdown box,for employee ID, has the values of the employee ID from the employee table.
When i chose a value from the drop down box, i would like for the text fields in the form (firstname & Lastname) to update showing the names for that employee_id. I have searched online but have NO idea how to do this.
Below shows my form (php)
<html>
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("hrmwaitrose", $con);
?>
<head>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"/>
<title>Training</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<h1 align="center">Add Training</h1>
<form action="inserttraining.php" method="post">
<div>
<p>Training ID: <input type="text" name="Training_ID"></p>
<p>Employee ID:<select id="Employee_ID">
<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT Employee_ID FROM Employee");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
echo "<option value=$row[0]>$row[0]</option>";
}
?>
</select>
<p>First name: <input type="text" name="First_name"></p>
<p>Last name: <input type="text" name="Last_name"></p>
<p>
Training required?
<select name="Training">
<option value="">Select...</option>
<option value="Customer Service">Customer Service</option>
<option value="Bailer">Bailer</option>
<option value="Reception">Reception</option>
<option value="Fish & meat counters">Fish & meat counters</option>
<option value="Cheese counters">Cheese counters</option>
</select>
</p>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And here is my php code for when the submit button is pressed.
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("hrmwaitrose", $con);
$sql="INSERT INTO training (Training_ID, Employee_ID, First_name, Last_name, Training)
VALUES
('$_POST[Training_ID]','$_POST[Employee_ID]','$_POST[First_name]','$_POST[Last_name]','$_POST[Training]')";
if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
{
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo "1 record added";
mysql_close($con);
?>
I think its done by java? not too sure.
