Title: PHP Mall Development Guide: Realizing the automatic filling function of the user's shipping address

Introduction:
With With the rapid development of the e-commerce industry, user experience is becoming more and more important to shopping malls. One of the key user experience factors is the process of filling in the shipping address. In order to improve user efficiency and reduce errors, we can use the PHP Developer City to implement the automatic filling function when users fill in the delivery address. This article will introduce how to use PHP to achieve this function.

1. Collect address data
   First, we need to create an address database to store the user's common addresses. This database can contain the following fields: user ID, province, city, district, and street address. Through a form, we can collect the user's address information and store it in the database.
2. Get user address
   In the form where the user fills in the delivery address, we can use the HTML input tag to obtain the province, city, district, county and street address information entered by the user. When the user completes input and submits the form, we can obtain this address information through PHP's $_POST[] global variable.
3. Initiate API request
   In order to implement the automatic filling function, we need to call the third-party address API. These APIs can return the corresponding street address list based on the province, city, district and county information input by the user. Commonly used address APIs include Baidu Map API, Amap API, etc. We can choose the appropriate API according to actual needs.
4. Parse API response
   When we initiate an API request, we will receive a response that contains the completion options for the address entered by the user. Through PHP's curl function, we can get the API response and parse it into JSON formatted data. Then, we can use PHP's json_decode function to convert the JSON data into a PHP array to facilitate subsequent processing.
5. Display completion options
   According to the API response data, we can display the completion options on the page where the user fills in the shipping address. You can use the HTML datalist tag to implement a drop-down menu and use the completion options as datalist options. Users can autocomplete street addresses by selecting completion options.
6. Implement automatic address filling
   When the user selects the completion option, we can obtain the user's selection through JavaScript and automatically fill it into the corresponding input box. You can use JavaScript's change event to monitor the user's selection, and use JavaScript's value attribute to set the value of each input box.
7. Storing user address
   Finally, when the user fills in the shipping address and submits the form, we can store the user's address information in the database. Through PHP's database operation function, we can insert information such as user ID and street address into the address database and ensure the security of the data.

Summary:
By using PHP Developer City, we can realize the automatic filling function of users' shipping addresses, improve the efficiency of users filling in addresses and reduce errors. This article introduces how to establish an address database, obtain user addresses, initiate API requests, parse API responses, display completion options, implement automatic address filling, and store user addresses. Through these steps, we can provide a better user experience for users of the mall and improve the competitiveness of the mall.
