    <p>I'll try to be short with this one. Most probably I'm missing something obvious so any input would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p><strong>SQL structure/columns:</strong></p> <ol> <li><code>id_user</code> (primary key)</li> <li><code>income_input</code></li> <li><code>income_select</code></li> </ol> <p><strong>PHP Code:</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $con = mysql_connect("localhost","dbname","pwd"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect to the database: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("dbname", $con); global $user; // Drupal 7 global $userid = $user-&gt;uid; // Drupal 7 currently logged-in user id $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE id_user='$userid'"); if($result === FALSE) { die(mysql_error()); } if ($user-&gt;uid) { ?&gt; &lt;form&gt; &lt;label for="edit-1"&gt;Label&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input id="edit-1" maxlength="60" size="60" type="text" value="&lt;?php while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo $row['income_input']; } ?&gt;"&gt; &lt;select id="select-edit-1"&gt; &lt;option value="daily" &lt;?php while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ $income_select = $row['income_select']; if ($income_select == 'daily') echo 'selected="selected"'; }?&gt;&gt;Daily&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="weekly" &lt;?php while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ $income_select = $row['income_select']; if ($income_select == 'weekly') echo 'selected="selected"'; }?&gt;&gt;Weekly&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;?php } mysql_close($con); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>The input value (<code>income_select</code>) is fetched properly from the database, but the dropdown (<code>income_select</code>) won't return the selected state. If I include the entire form into the WHILE statement it's working fine and I can echo quickly the DB values and the select dropdown "selected" state is working fine too. I would opt for this method but I have to keep the form as it is and only populate it with data from the DB if there is any entry for the currently logged-in user.</p> <p>I hope the above one makes sense and finally thank you in advance for your help!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
