  • 0

I’ve got a dynamic html table and I want to retrieve the data from that table using the POST method. Is it possible to do this? What other ways would you recommend to achieve this.
Here’s a simple example from what I got:

<html>
      <form id="form1" method="post" action="process.php">
         <table id="tblSample" name="tblSample">
         <tbody>
            <tr>
                <td>
                John Appleseed
                </td>    
                <td>
                Australia
                </td>
           </tr>
           <tr>
              <td>
              Mary Poppins
              </td> 
              <td>
              USA
              </td>   
            <tr>  
          </tbody>
          </table> 
       </form>
</html>

Maybe it’s possible to store the info in a javascript array or variable in order to post it to the action file, I’m not sure.

I don’t know if this has anything to do, but the table is generated dynamically. The rows and cells are added by the user using javascript.

I’d appreciate your answers very much.

    A table cannot be accessed as such, unless you use form elements (input, textarea, etc.) and add name attribute to them; then, you can access your elements with $_POST.

    If you have your data in a table, the best way to retrieve our data is by JavaScript, using innerHTML.
