Question

I need some help in php. I’m fairly new to the language, though I’m using it on Wamp for a website, which should display a table with an ID and a submit button in each row that when clicked, should display the information for that specific row only. The syntax that I came up with has one problem, it shows the information for all the rows instead of just the one clicked. The code is as follows:

<?php
  print "<table>";

Table Headers

    print "<tr>";
      print "<th>ID</th>";
      print "<th>Click to View Row Info</th>";
    print "</tr>";

Table Contents (ID & Button in 5 rows)

  for ($i=1; $i<=5; $i++){
    print "<tr>";
      print "<form method=\"post\" action=\"Popup.php\">";
      print "<td>";
      print "<input name=\"$i\" type=\"text\" value=\"";
      echo $i;
      print "\"/>";
      print "</td>";


      print "<td>";

      print "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"View Row\" /></form>";
      print "</td>";

    print "</tr>";
  }

Popup.php Display Code Snippet

  $sub=$i;

  for ($i=0; $i<=$sub; $i++){
  print "The ID for this row is: ";
  echo $i; 
  }
?>

Popup.php is a separate file that receives the form variables and displays it. If I could get some assistance with this I would be most grateful. If anything is unclear about my question please feel free to let me know.

Answer 1

The form needs to be outside of the loop (and should be outside of the tbale as well)
Also, change the input name so like this
so this

print "<form method=\"post\" action=\"Popup.php\">";

for ($i=1; $i<=5; $i++){
    print "<tr>";

      print "<td>";
      print "<input name=\name[$i]\" type=\"text\" value=\"";
      echo $i;
      print "\"/>";
      print "</td>";


      print "<td>";

      print "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"View Row\" /></form>";
      print "</td>";

    print "</tr>";
  }

THen in popup.php change it to

 foreach($_POST['name'] as $key=>$value)
    print "The value for $key is: $value";
