Question

I have a standard Mysqli/php code that echo a list of items.

So lets say that a user has chosen to edit a specified product. The products is being
printet in a while loop. How do i switch content in only ex. product 9 if there is printed 100 products in a while loop?

All the products is in a Div.

Some code ex:

$query = $mysqli->query("SELECT item_name, item_id FROM items");
while($items = $query->fetch_assoc()){

  echo $items['item_name'];
  echo '<a href="" onclick="switch content of only the single product that has been chosen">Edit me</a>'

}

Answer 1

You can use a ternary operator for this:

$query = $mysqli->query("SELECT item_name, item_id FROM items");
while($items = $query->fetch_assoc())
{   
    $clickEvent = ($items['item_id'] == 9) ? 'for id 9' : 'for others';
    echo $items['item_name'];
    echo '<a href="" onclick="'.$clickEvent.'">Edit me</a>'
}
