Question

Here is an excerpt from my code. I have removed <table>, <tr> statements and angular brackets as this website seems to interpret it instead of showing them literally.

while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {    
    foreach($row AS $column) {   
           echo $column; 
    }

    echo '<a href=\"form.php\"> UPDATE </a>';
    echo '<a href=\"delete.php\"> DELETE </a>';
}

Now when user clicks on update, the value of first column of the selected row should be passed as querystring.

So, what should I add in a href statement ?

Answer 1

mysql_fetch_row() returns one row as numerically indexed array

$row=mysql_fetch_row($result);

echo "<a href=\"form.php?param=$row[0]\"> UPDATE </a>";

and do not use mysql_ extension, try newer alternatives like mysqli or PDO
