forms

How could I get the form fields filled from a database?

One idea I have is to do a redirect, but it doesn't quite
work because it ends to an infinite loop cause the page
is redirecting to itself:

header("Locatio n: " . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] .
"?field1=someth ing&field2=some thing else");


That would bee neet. I just would create a string from the contents
I receive from the db and just redirect, but as I said, it doesn't
work easily. You have to use the apache rewrite, but I didn't quite
get it.

Another solution is to check if the request is not empty for the
particular field.

Any other solutions?

so write a php script that queries the database and returns/outputs a form
on stdout, given the parameters.
use $_GET['whatever--..'];
etc...
