    Hi I installed XAMPP and created a database on my own laptop (localhost) using PHPMyadmin.

    I am using form assembly to "filter" the data in my database according to user's answers to my questions.
    Say, question 1: what colour is your book
    answer : red

    question 2: what edition is your book
    answer : 2nd

    if knowing that the book is red colour and it is 2nd edition is good enough to know which book the user has,
    how do I call that particular book from my database? And is it possible to show the picture of the book (picture included in database of course) to the user?

    and if the 2 characteristics are not enough, I want the user to proceed to question 3 and so on.

    please tell me how can I do this, thanks!

    Hello,

    FormAssembly doesn't provide the ability to display data from an external source to the end user.

    I think you need to look into something more like a scripting language for interaction with your database.

    Happy to help further if you have questions about FormAssembly,
