That is what the site looks like now. What I want to do is when you click on the approve registration on the table, it will extract the value of the id no and the name of that particular record. I thought i was on the right track. I knew how to get the id no. But it doesn’t get the value of the name at the same time.

This is how the code looks like:

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($mayor))
{
    $id = $row['identification_no'];
    $name = $row['lastname'].", ".$row['firstname'];

    echo "<tr>";
    echo "<td><form method=post action=approvedmayor.php><input type='radio' name=id value='$id'></td>";
}

approvedmayor.php

$query = mysql_query("insert into tbcandidates VALUES ($id, '$name', 'mayor')"); 

if ($query)
{
    echo "You appproved ";
    echo $name;
}

else
    echo "error";

Answer 1

you can try like this…

<?php

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($mayor))
{
$id = $row['identification_no'];
$name = $row['lastname'].", ".$row['firstname'];

echo "<tr><td><a href='approvedmayor.php?id=$id&name=$name'>Approve</a></td></tr>";
}

?>

in this type don’t use the form, and Approve button… try this alone
