I have a table that displays data from a MySQL table. I have an extra column that adds a checkbox for each entry.

Is it possible to link that column row with the other data in the columns containing the MySQL data?

The checkbox entries will then be saved to a new mysql table upon pressing the ‘Save’ button.

Here is a picture to show you what I mean:

enter image description here

Code:

<?php

$connection = mysql_connect('localhost','admin','root');

if( isset($_POST['submit']) )
{
    if( isset( $_POST['cb_change'] ) && is_array( $_POST['cb_change'] ))
    {
        foreach( $_POST['cb_change']  as $emp_number => $permission)
        {
            $sql = "UPDATE `rights` SET Permission='".mysql_real_escape_string($permission)."' WHERE emp_number='".mysql_real_escape_string($emp_number)."'";
            echo __LINE__.": sql: {$sql}\n";
            mysql_query( $sql );
        }
    }
}
?>

    Assuming you mean another column after the select list column titled ‘change’.
    Add another table cell after the change colum with this…

    echo "<td> <input type="checkbox" name='fieldName[]' value="<?php echo $row['emp_number']; ?>" > </td>";

    After you’ve posted the form the $_POST[‘fieldName’] array will have the ids for the rows that have been clicked.

    Try and make sure the $row[’emp_number’] is from your tables primary key to make sure the value is unique.
