Question

This is the first time I’m using this website, I have recently started working on a project where the webpage will display two table, one of the table will gather all the information from a SQL Database and place them in the table along with a button next to each rows allowing you to insert that record to another to the other table, so far, this is the code I have written:

//Include the Following Files
include 'connect.php';

//Select All Price Plans
$query = "SELECT * FROM pricing";
$result = mysql_query($query);

//Print all Plans in Table 
while ($pricing = mysql_fetch_array($result)) 
{
    echo "<table border=1>";
    echo "<tr>";
    echo "<td>" .$pricing['planID'].  "</td>";
    echo "<td>" .$pricing['planTitle']. "</td>";
    echo "<td>" .$pricing['planDescription']. "</td>";
    echo "<td>" .$pricing['planPricing']. "</td>";
    echo "<td>" . **<a href="'. $link .'">BUTTON HERE</a>** . "</td>";
    echo "</tr>";
    echo "<table>";
}  


//Assign $link to Case     
$link = '?run=planA'; 

//Pre-defined Functions
function planA()
{ 
$query = "INSERT into restaurant_plan (`planID`, `planTitle`, `planDescription`, `planPricing`) SELECT * FROM pricing WHERE planID='2' ";
$result = mysql_query($query);
} 

//Setting Case to Run Each Functions
if (isset($_GET['run'])) $linkchoice=$_GET['run']; 
else $linkchoice=''; 

switch($linkchoice)
{       
    case 'planA': 
    planA(); 
    break; 

    case 'planB': 
    planB(); 
    break;              
}     

Could anyone suggest any guide or possibly an example how I could assign a function to each rows? Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

your code prints one table for each record in table “pricing”, use this code instead :

//Select All Price Plans
$mysqli = new mysqli("hostname", "username", "pass", "dbname");

$query = "SELECT * FROM pricing";

$result = $mysqli->query($query);

//Print all Plans in Table    

echo "Available Price Plans";          
echo "<table border=1>";
while ( $pricing = $result->fetch_assoc() ) {
    echo "<tr>";
    echo "<td>" .$pricing['planID'].  "</td>";
    echo "<td>" .$pricing['planTitle']. "</td>";
    echo "<td>" .$pricing['planDescription']. "</td>";
    echo "<td>" .$pricing['planPricing']. "</td>";
    echo "<td>" .'<a href="'. $link .'"><img style="border:none;" src="'. $icon .'" /></a>'. "</td>";
    //print a button as you mentioned
    echo "<td>"."<form action='#' method='get'><input type='hidden' name='id' value='".$pricing['planID']."'/><input type='submit' value='copy'/></form></td>";
    echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";

and your function :

function planA()
{ 
    // get selected plan info
    $query = "SELECT * FROM pricing";
    $result = $mysqli->query($query);
    $row = $res->fetch_assoc();

    //copy info to table 'restaurant_plan'
    $query = "INSERT into restaurant_plan (".$_GET["id"].", ".$row["planTitle"].", ".$row["planDescription"].", ".$row["planPricing"].")";
    $result = $mysqli->query($query);

}
