Question

I am trying to pass a certain data which I found in my table using the search to another php page . here is my code

echo "
1<form action="adm_edit.php?product_code=$record[0]" method="POST">
2<input type=submit value=Edit>
3</form>
4<form action="adm_edit.php?product_code=$record[0]" method="POST">
5<input type=submit value=Delete>
6</form>
";

my search function is working fine and record[0] is contain desired data but I am getting this error when I run this code:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in search.php on line 1

I put numbers on lines in above code for ease of reading
So could you please help me?

Take care when using quotes from html elements in echos, also when using variables!
When using ' instead of ", you also have to put quotes in front of the variable and that way you stop echoing a string and can start with echoing a variable. You need to concatenate the var and the string with a . !

This will work :

echo '
<form action="adm_edit.php?product_code='.$record[0].'" method="POST">
<input type=submit value=Edit>
</form>
<form action="adm_edit.php?product_code='.$record[0].'" method="POST">
<input type=submit value=Delete>
</form>
';
