pull specific table row column data to output in html using php

how do i pull data from my database table and put that data into a readonly textinput in a form for a user to see.

<input readonly type="text" name="em1" id="em1"/>

for this specific field i want to pull the data from a column called wmyt000 in the row of the currently logged in user using a $username variable with session that i created to get the current logged in users username in a table called cash_flow_plan

im using mysql and php

i havnt attempted to try anything yet. i was looking into mysql_fetch_array but that wants to display all of the users information for their row.

ya. well, if you had, you'd know that you can do more with it than you think.

if you write a query limiting your results, then you're going to get what you want.

$query = "SELECT wmyt000 FROM cash_flow_plan WHERE username = '$username'"

$row = mysql_fetch_row($query);

print_r($row); // now you can see the structure of your array. access it accordingly.
