Question

I have made a table which gets data from a mysql database and puts in into a html form. However, I have been trying to make buttons on each row which would then have a variable value equal two one of the values in the rows. Here is my code:

$html_table = '<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"><th>Company           Symbol&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th><th>Amount&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;    </th><th>Actual Stockprice&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th><th>Total     Value&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th><th> Sell? </th><tr>';

    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
    {    
  $actstock = "\n".$json_output['l'];
  $company = $row['company'];
  $totalvalue = $row['amount']*$actstock;
  $radio="<input type='radio' value='$company' name='symbol' />";
  $dollar = "$";

 $html_table .= '<tr><td>' .$row['company']. '</td><td>'    
.$row['amount'].'</td><td>'     
.$dollar.$actstock. '</td><td>' .$dollar.$totalvalue.'</td><td>' .$radio. '</td></tr>';
}

And then a button and then then

 $symbol = $_POST['symbol'];
echo $symbol;

Any help would be great, thank you.

Answer 1

i think your code is good

but did you put $radio between <form></form> on that <td>$radio</td> ?
