Ive just started to learn php a few weeks ago. I'm trying to do the same catalog program which i did in Access. But now im stuck. (i wrote a short copy of the program cos that is too long so this is similar as that) The problem is the next. I have an inputbox(ID) which would be an id number and some textareas(in this example 3 of them name-year-type) for the results. or it could be some other objects. When i enter the value the database gives me back the results from the fields where the id is the value i gave. Thats so far working with ajax but it gives to the 3 textareas the same results. What i would like to achieve is that all different field result be shown in different textareas. Ive tried with json but not really working. I will put up here the one with ajax (which is working good but the result should be seperated) and the one i tried with json. please if u have idea help me out.

This one is working but does not separate the results:

    $(document).ready(function() {

<?php

    mysqli_select_db ($con,'coin'); 
    // Get the values from the table.
    $sql = "SELECT Name, Year, Type FROM main_db where ID = $_GET[id] ";
    $result = mysqli_query($con,$sql);
    while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) 
    {   
    echo "$row[Name]";  
    echo "$row[Year]";
    echo "$row[Type]";
    }
endif;
?>
Here i tried with json. im sure that there are a lot of mistakes.

    {   
    $name = $row[Name]; 
    $type = $row[Type];
    $year = $row[Year];
    }
$rows = array('name' => $name, 'type' => $type, 'year' => $year); 
echo json_encode($rows);
endif;

Im not sure if necessary to use json. Maybe there is other and simplier way to do it.
