PHP to generate an HTML FORM

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 10.2012

Hi all…

I’m trying to create a simple HTML table generated by php from mySQL table. This table simply displays the First Name and Last Name of all Employees in the database table.

The trick is, I would also like to generate an HTML FORM, so beside each first and last name, there is a button that submits the first and last name to another php processing page.

Can this be done?

eg.

//Connect to database
mysql_select_db(“cls_1”, $con);

//Query database and set result to variable
$result = mysql_query(“SELECT * FROM cls_app_form”);

//Close Connection
mysql_close($con);

//Generate Table
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo “<td>”$row[‘FirstName’] . ” ” . $row[‘LastName’] *PUT FORM BUTTON HERE!”</td>”;
echo “<br />”;
}

eg.

//Connect to database

mysql_select_db("cls_1", $con);

//Query database and set result to variable

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM cls_app_form");

//Close Connection

mysql_close($con);

//Generate Table

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

{

$FirstName = $row ['FirstName'];

$LastName = $row ['LastName'];


echo "<tr>"

echo "<td>"$row['FirstName'] . "</td><br />";

echo "<td>"$row['LastName'] . "</td><br />";

echo "<td>"SUBMIT BUTTON with $FirstName and $LastName submitted to another process.php page"</td><br />";

echo "</tr>

@ZeratulsDomainMar 10.2012 — well you could always send them with GET method instead of making a form for a POST var...

example:
[code=php]
echo "<tr>"
echo "<td>" . $row['FirstName'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['LastName'] . "</td>";
echo('<td><a href="myProcessingPage.php?firstName=' . $row['FirstName'] . '&lastName=' . $row['LastName'] . '">Submit</a></td>');
echo "</tr>"[/code]

@hastxMar 12.2012 — This can be done with only a few lines of code if you use this class:

ArrayQry

It would support passing the db result via the GET params as suggested by ZeratulsDomain. just check the documentation examples for outputting result to a table.

Success!
