<?php $username = "root"; $password = "myPassword"; $hostname = "localhost"; //connection to the database $dbhandle = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password) or die("Unable to connect to MySQL"); echo "Connected to MySQL<br>"; //select a database to work with $selected = mysql_select_db("iccsimd",$dbhandle) or die("Could not select aerver"); //execute the SQL query and return records $result = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT invid, invdate, note, amount FROM invheader")); ?> <INPUT type="text" name="Mytxt" id="MytextID" value="<?php echo $result['note'];?>" /> Like Maciek mentioned, if this is a new project use PDO or MySQLi instead, else use a PDO wrapper for MySQL functions.
