Day 14: Submit form without submit button

Sometime it’s require to submit the form on server without submit button, like on dropdown change. So this can be done with the help of JavaScript.

I am taking “tbstudent” table, that we have created on “day12”.

<?php
$con = mysql_connect(“localhost”,”root”,””);
mysql_select_db(“mydb”,$con);
if(isset($_REQUEST[‘drpEmp’])) {
$selectedId = $_REQUEST[‘drpEmp’];
$query = “select * from tbemp where id = “.$selectedId;
$selectedData = mysql_query($query);
$selectedEmp = mysql_fetch_array($selectedData);
}
$stdQuery = “select * from tbemp”;
$stdData = mysql_query($stdQuery);
