2. Connecting to database
3. Fetching data
4. Parsing data
5. Populating in the form

Creating database and table

Create a database(demo) make sure that you are using the right database name in your config.php file.

Run the following queries to create a table with some sample data


To create a table(user) 

CREATE TABLE `user` (
  `UserID` int(12) NOT NULL,
  `FirstName` varchar(48) NOT NULL,
  `LastName` varchar(48) NOT NULL,
  `Email` varchar(128) NOT NULL,
  `Password` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
  `City` varchar(48) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

To insert data into the table

INSERT INTO `user` (`UserID`, `FirstName`, `LastName`, `Email`, `Password`, `City`) VALUES
(7, 'Rahul', 'Rajshekaran', 'Rahul@zzz.xxx', 'Rahul@123', 'Pune'),
(8, 'Mahesh', 'Krishna', 'Mahesh@xxx.xxx', 'Mahesh@123', 'Delhi'),
(9, 'Mahidar', 'kumar', 'Mahidar@xxx.com', 'Mahidar@123', 'Pune'),
(10, 'Mahpal', 'yadhav', 'mahipa@xxx.com', 'Mahipa@123', 'Delhi');



Connecting to database(config.php)


<?php
/* Database connection start */
$dbHost = 'localhost';
$dbUsername = 'root';
$dbPassword = 'root';
$dbName = 'demo';

//Create connection and select DB
$connection = new mysqli($dbHost, $dbUsername, $dbPassword, $dbName);
if($connection->connect_error){
die("Unable to connect database: " . $connection->connect_error);
}
?>


Fetching data(index.php)


<?php
include('config.php');
//Check UserID set or not
if (isset($_GET['UserID'])) {
    $UserID = $_GET['UserID'];
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE UserID='$UserID'";
    $result = mysqli_query($connection, $sql);
    if ((mysqli_num_rows($result)) > 0) {
        while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
            extract($row);
            $rows[] = array("Message" => "Success", "UserID" => $UserID, "FirstName" => $FirstName, "LastName" => $LastName, "Email" => $Email, "City" => $City);
        }
    } else {
        $rows[] = array("Message" => "No Data");
    }
} else {
    $rows[] = array("Message" => "Error");
}
echo json_encode($rows);
mysqli_close($connection);
?>



Parsing data with JQuery


//Script
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
function userEdit(UserID) {
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $.getJSON("http://localhost/demo/user.php?UserID=" + UserID,
            function (json) {
                for (var i = 0; i < json.length; i++) {
var Message = json[i].Message;
document.getElementById("Message").innerHTML = Message;
                    $.each(json[0] , function (key, value){
                        $('input[id='+key+']').val(value);
                    });
                }
            });
    });
}
</script>
//CSS
<style type="text/css">
    body{
        position: absolute;
        width: 600px;
        height: 200px;
        z-index: 15;
        top: 40%;
        left: 30%;
        margin: -100px 0 0 -150px;
    }
    .box{
        background: #43c181;
        padding-top: 10px;
        padding-left: 60px;
        padding-bottom: 30px;
        width: 500px;
        height: auto;
    }
    .btn-success{
        padding: 5px;
    }
</style>


*Place the above code in the head section of your HTML.

Populating in the form


<body>

<div class='box'>

<h4 id="Message"></h4>

<form action='#' method='post' id='Form' enctype='multipart/form-data'>

<div class="col-md-10">
            <label>First Name</label>
            <input type="text" id="FirstName" class="form-control" name="FirstName" placeholder='First Name'/>
        </div>

 <div class="col-md-10">
            <label>Last Name</label>
            <input id="LastName" name="LastName" class="form-control" type="text" placeholder='Last Name'/>
        </div>

 <div class="col-md-10">
            <label>Email</label>
            <input id="Email" name="Email" class="form-control" type="text"
                   placeholder='Email'/>
        </div>

</form>

</div>

</body>

//Call function
<script>
userEdit(UserID = 7);
</script>
