PHP- Auto fill the data when ID is provided

I have two forms here. Registration and Payment. In the registration form i have fields hosteladmissionnumber,student name,sex,semester,branch.etc.. and in the Payment form,I have hosteladmissionnumber,Demand Draft number,DD date,Bank Name etc...

The question here is: When i enter the hosteladmissionnumber in payment form, it must display the Text boxes of studentname,semester,Branch(only 3 fields) from the registration table in my database.How can i do this? Any suggestions? Do i really need to do this with three text boxes or is there any alternate way? Im using PHP as frontend and Mysql as Backend.

For payment part, the code is:(PHP)

<?php
session_start();
   $hostad=$_POST['hosteladmissionno'];
   //$sem=$_POST['student_name'];
   //$sem=$_POST['semester'];
   $ddno=$_POST['ddno'];
   $dd=$_POST['ddamount'];
   $bname=$_POST['bankname'];
   $dddate=$_POST['dddate'];
   $mess=$_POST['messamount'];
开发者_开发技巧   $room=$_POST['roomamount'];
   $receipt=$_POST['receiptnumber'];

$con=mysql_connect('localhost','root','');

if(!$con)
{
die('Unable to connect'.mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db('hostel',$con);


if(isset($sem)&&isset($dd)&&isset($bname)&&isset($dddate)&&isset($mess)&& isset($room)&&isset($receipt))
{
$r1="INSERT INTO payment(hosteladmissionno,semester,ddno,ddamount,bankname,dddate,messamount,roomamount,receiptnumber)
VALUES ($hostad','$sem','$ddno','$dd','$bname','$dddate','$mess','$room','$receipt')";
mysql_query($r1);
$r2="UPDATE registration SET status_flag=1 WHERE hosteladmissionno='$hostad'";
mysql_query($r2);
}
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
  {
 // echo 'hello("',$rollnumber,'");', "\n";
 echo "<script language='javascript'>alert('Successfuly Paid');</script>"; }
mysql_close($con);
?>

You need AJAX for this. You can dynamicaly.

See this example or this.

AJAX tutorial -> http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/default.asp

I guess, it more logical problem than technical.

1. Find the student by student by hosteladmissionnumber, I guess that is going to be primary key.

2. Show the student information on Payment Form.

use jquery ajax.

<script>
    function getstudent(element)
    {
        var id = $(this).val();

        $.ajax({
            url: 'yoururl.php',

            data: { 'id' : id}, //send id

            success: function(data) {
                //parse the result
                //and display success function      
                //also get the student info and display 
                //it on other text value
                $('#stu_name').val(data.name);
            },
            dataType: 'json' //also can be xml
        });     
    }
</script>


<input name="hosteladmissionno" id="admissionno"  onblur="getstudent(this);"/>

<input name="stu_name" id="stu_name" type="text"/>

you can use AJAX. you can download jquery from this link http://jquery.com/

you can use jquery and java script code simultaneously without any problem.

Include downloaded jquery file same as java script file
