Question

This is my first post, so I hope I’m doing it correctly.
This code displays several rows, and for each one there is a button that I would like
to redirect to the next form to edit the current line ID register.
I’m using variable hidden input names that are row-specific:

<?php
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{  
 $ID_variable[$count] = "ID".$row['ID'];

 echo "<tr>";
 echo "<td><input type=\"submit\" name=\"edit\" value=".$row['ID']."></td>";
 echo "<td>" . $row['lastname'] . "</td>";

 echo "<td><input type=\"hidden\" name=".$ID_variable[$count]." value=".$row['ID']."></td>";

 echo "</tr>";
 $count++;
}
?>

So, I would like to pass the hidden name value for a given row to the next form I’m working with.
There must be a really simple solution, but I’m really stucked. Thanks for your time.

You should use javascript/jQuery to do this. This can also be done in php way but then you need to use forms.

<?php
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{  
   $ID_variable[$count] = "ID".$row['ID'];

   echo "<tr>";
   echo "<td><input onClick=\"nextForm(".$ID_variable[$count].",".$row['ID'].")\" type=\"submit\" name=\"edit\" value=".$row['ID']."></td>";
   echo "<td>" . $row['lastname'] . "</td>";

   echo "<td><input type=\"hidden\" name=".$ID_variable[$count]." value=".$row['ID'].">         </td>";

  echo "</tr>";
  $count++;
}
?>


<script language="javascript">

function nextForm(name,value) {

   document.location = document.location + "?name="+name+"&value="+value;

}

</script>
