Populate input field from a dropdown using codeigniter

Question

chapter_number | chapter_title |
       1       | Introduction  |
       2       | Number System |


<select type="text" name="chapter_number" class="form-control form-control-line" value="">
    <option selected="option" disabled="selected">Select</option>   
    <option value="1">1</option>
    <option value="2">2</option>
</select

<input type="text" name="chapter_title" id="title" class="form-control"/>

above is my table and next is my code the select option and the input field. I want that when I select '1' automatically the input field will print chapter title 'Introduction' and If I select '2' the input field will became 'Number System'.

If you want to get data from database you need to call ajax on onchange event of select box.

Add "setinput" class to select box

<select type="text" name="chapter_number" class="form-control form-control-line setinput" value="">

Add below script

$('body').on('change','.setinput',function(){
    $.ajax({
        url: 'your_base_url/controller_name/your_method',
        type:'POST',
        data:{id:$(this).val()},
        success:function(result){
            $('input[name="chapter_title"]').val(result);
        }
    })

});

Controller method would be like below

public function your_method(){
    $id = $this->input->post('id');
    $this->db->select('*');
    $this->db->from('database_table_name');
    $this->db->where('chapter_number',$id);
    $result = $this->db->get()->row();
    echo $result->chapter_title;
}

I hope, it would be helpful to you.
