    <p>I have a table in my database called agendas which is linked with another table called meetings. I would like to edit the agendas table through the form but I want the current information in the agendas fields to appear on the web form.</p> <pre><code> &lt;?php include 'library/connect.php'; $agenda_id = $_GET['agenda_id']; $result = mysql_query("SELECT agenda.*, meetings.meeting_id FROM agenda INNER JOIN meetings ON agenda.meetings = meetings.meeting_id WHERE agenda_id = '$agenda_id'"); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); $meeting_id = $row['meeting_id']; ?&gt; &lt;form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="secretary_agendaSuccesful.php?agenda_id=&lt;?php echo $agenda_id; ?&gt;"&gt; &lt;table width="666" border="1"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td width="91"&gt;Subject:&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td width="559"&gt;&lt;span id="sprytextarea1"&gt; &lt;label for="subject"&gt;&lt;/label&gt; &lt;textarea name="subject" id="subject" cols="45" rows="5" value="&lt;? echo $row['subject'] ?&gt;"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;span class="textareaRequiredMsg"&gt;A subject is required.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;Duration:&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;span id="sprytextfield1"&gt; &lt;label for="duration"&gt;&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="duration" id="duration" value="&lt;? echo $row['duration'] ?&gt;"/&gt; &lt;span class="textfieldRequiredMsg"&gt;duration in hours&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="textfieldInvalidFormatMsg"&gt;Enter duration in hours&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="submit" name="submitbtn" id="submitbtn" value="Submit" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>Is this the correct way to get information from a database into the fields?</p>

    1. COYour code is extremely open to SQL injection attacks. You should never insert `$_GET` variables (or *any* variables) directly into a query. Please take a look at this question for how to fix it, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/60174/best-way-to-stop-sql-injection-in-php

Guidance
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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
