PHP Auto Fill
I have a form that I would like to have an auto fill with. There are 7 particular values. Depending on the value chosen I would like it to autofill in the cost and another additional field. Are there any scripts/tutorials on how to do this?
Thanks!

if you mean without reloading the page or go to another page then php can set the values in a javascript wich will be called in the onchange param of your select. Is that what you want you are not really specific

put this in head
<script language="javascript">function autofill()
{
switch (document.myform.myselect.selectedIndex)
{
case 0:
alert('select something');
break;
case 1:
document.myform.myinput1.value='value1'; // hard coded way
document.myform.myinput2.value='<?=$myvalue2;?>'; // php way
document.myform.myinput3.value='value3'; // hard coded way
document.myform.myinput4.value='value4'; // hard coded way
document.myform.myinput5.value='value5'; // hard coded way
break;
case 2:
document.myform.myinput1.value='value10'; // hard coded way
document.myform.myinput2.value='<?=$myvalue11;?>'; // php way
document.myform.myinput3.value='value12'; // hard coded way
document.myform.myinput4.value='value13'; // hard coded way
document.myform.myinput5.value='value14'; // hard coded way
break;
}
}
</script>
put this in your page
<form name="myform"><select name="myselect" onchange="autofill()">
<option> select something </option>
<option> choice 1</option>
<option> choice 2</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="myinput1">
<input type="text" name="myinput2">
<input type="text" name="myinput3">
<input type="text" name="myinput4">
<input type="text" name="myinput5">
</form>
now you should see the logic in this

Thank you! I see the logic but I do have a couple of questions. How can I get the myselect to input just one text field based on the selection?

you just have to put only one line in the case section corresponding.

If I have the selections as radiobuttons, which I prefer, then autofill 2 fields depending on the choice. How would that change it?

<script language="javascript">function autofill()
{
for(i=0;i<document.myform.myradio.length;i++)
{
if(document.myform.myradio[i].checked)
{
radiovalue=i;
}
}
switch (radiovalue)
{
case 0:
document.myform.myinput1.value='value1'; // hard coded way
break;
case 1:
document.myform.myinput1.value='<?=$myvalue11;?>'; // php way
break;
}
}
</script>
<form name="myform">
choice 1<input type="radio" name="myradio" onclick="autofill()">
choice 2<input type="radio" name="myradio" onclick="autofill()">
<input type="text" name="myinput1">
</form>

That works awesome! Thank you! You are very helpful and I am learning a lot!
I want to add a second field so if one of the radio buttons is checked an additional value goes into another text field. This field will change depending on the radio button selected.

You have all the info you need on this thread to do just that. I could tell you how but you wouldn't learn
