Question

I have a php file where it has a table with check box with the value which is equal to the ID from MYSQL table. When I run it I get the error.
I know there is some problem with ” and ‘ can any one help in solving this?

    while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
    {
    echo "<tr>";
    ***//I get error in the following line*** 
    echo"<td> <form action="del_prod.php" method="post">input type="checkbox" name="product_id" value="$row["product_id"]"></td>"
    echo "<td>" . $row['product_id'] . "</td>";
    echo "<td >" . $row['product_name'] . "</td>";
    echo "<td>" . $row['weight'] . "</td>";
    echo "</tr>";
    }
    echo "</table>";
    ?>

You have several problems with your line.

echo "<td><form action=\"del_prod.php\" method=\"post\"><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"product_id\" value=\"".$row['product_id']."\" /></td>";

• You’re not escaping the double quotes.
• You are missing the opening < on the input tag.
• You’re not closing the input tag.
• You’re not concatenating the $row[‘product_id’] in the string properly.
• You’re missing a semi-colon.

This is all aside from the fact that the form tag shouldn’t really be in the <td>. It should be outside of the table, or better yet without a table at all! 🙂
