How can the data be displayed directly in the form without needing to click on a specific link?

To display data directly in the form without needing to click on a specific link, you can use AJAX to dynamically load the data into the form without refreshing the page. This can be achieved by creating an AJAX request to fetch the data from the server and then updating the form fields with the retrieved data.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<form id="myForm">
  <input type="text" id="dataField">
  <button type="button" onclick="getData()">Load Data</button>
</form>

<script>
function getData() {
  $.ajax({
    url: 'getData.php',
    method: 'GET',
    success: function(response) {
      $('#dataField').val(response);
    },
    error: function() {
      alert('Error fetching data');
    }
  });
}
</script>
