Single line Textfield & PHP

Question

Is it possible to have a single line TextField that retrieves
text using PHP from a Mysql database? I've managed to do it with a
Multi line Textarea but the same code doesn't seem to work with a
Single line TextField.
I've attached the code I tried for the Single line TextField.
Many thanks

Answer 1

typically you would put your connection and sql info in your
head and assign
your dataset a variable name, then reference the variable
name.
I don't see why that would effect your data retrieval, but
you didn't say
what your error was, eiither.
what's it telling you?
