I am new to both bootstrap and php. I have created a registration modal form to register users for my site and it registers perfectly. However, I would like to retrieve a users details from my database based on their User ID and display their details in a registration form for them to edit and update. What I don't know how to do is display the records in the form fields... Please help by providing a simple syntax for this.
I am using PHP and MySql
This is my modal form
<div class="modal fade" id="updatelecModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="updatelecModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<!--End of modal-->
<!-- Start of form-->
<form id="updatelecForm" class="form-horizontal" role="form" method="post" action="#" nonvalidate>
<div class="form-group">
