I have a registration form, and what I like to so is to use a mySQL query to retrieve data in to the form input fields. 

this is part of the very long form:

```
<form class="form-horizontal" id="registration" method='post' action='ConnectDB.php' onsubmit='return ValidateForm(this);'>
    <fieldset>
        <h1 style="margin-top: px;float:right; color:#62A1D5"><br><b>registration</b></h1>
        <table id="TBackGround">
            <td style="padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px;">
                <p id="pd"  style="margin-top:5px; margin-right:2px; font-size:16px; text-decoration:underline"><b><br>details:</b><p> 
                <p style="line-height: 1.3em" class="details">
                <div class="control-group"> 
                    <label class="control-label">ID </label>
                    <input type="text"name="studentID"  align= "right" class="textbox" ><span id="errorID"></span> <br/>  
                </div>
                <div class="control-group"> 
                    <label class="control-label" >First name</label>
                    <input type="text" name="Fname"  class="textbox" ><span id="errorFirstName"> <br/>
                </div>
</form>

```

How do I set the retrived data to be loaded in to the form's input fields?
What I have is a query to retrieve the ID of the record but I don't know how to set the entire query result on to the fields.

my php query:

```
<?php 

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$query = $_POST['query']; 
$min_length = 1;
if(strlen($query) >= $min_length)
{ 
$query = htmlspecialchars($query); 
$query = mysql_real_escape_string($query); 
echo "<table border='0' width='300' align='center' cellpadding='1' cellspacing='1'>";
echo "<tr align='center' bgcolor='#002C40'> 
?>
<td height='35px' width='150px'>id</td> <td>first name</td>

</tr>"; 
$raw_results = 

mysql_query("SELECT * FROM student WHERE (`idStudent` LIKE '%".$query."%') OR (`FirstName` LIKE '%".$query."%')"); 
if(mysql_num_rows($raw_results) > 0)
{
while($results = mysql_fetch_array($raw_results))
{ 

echo "<tr align='center' bgcolor='#0f7ea3'>

 <td height='25px'> "
 .$results['idStudent']."</td> <td>".$results['FirstName']."</td>

</tr>" ;
}

}
else{ 
echo "<tr align='center' bgcolor='#6C0000'>

<td colspan='2' height='25px'>No results</td><tr>"; 
echo "</table>"; 
} 
}
else{ 
echo "Minimum length is ".$min_length;
}} 

?>

```
