@NogDogDec 07.2013 — #I may be missing some crucial detail here, but is there any reason why you can't use a form tag, using get or post method as desired, and putting any data needed for each form submission in type="hidden" input tags -- no need for JavaScript, etc., just basic HTML generated from the PHP that displays the page? @NogDogDec 08.2013 — #Right: only the input elements within that form tag will be submitted.
How do I use a button without a form with PHP?
I have a for loop looping through data from a mysql query and displaying the results of each. The link is a cropped shot of what each iteration displays on the browser. I wrapped it in img tags but it didn’t work for some reason. What I need to do is be able to click the button that is included in each iteration and grab that data from that iteration so that I can have a script send an email to the person that listed the book. I have no clue how to do this with PHP and cannot find anything on the web or any of the books I have.
[IMG]
below is the code the code that is in the loop.
[code=php]
for($j=0; $j < $numRows; $j++){
echo “<div class=’searchResults’>
<div class=’infoHeading’>
Title:<br />
Author:<br />
ISBN:<br />
Condition:<br />
Price:
</div>
<div class=’bookInfo’>
“.$bookInfo[‘title’][$j].”<br />
“.$bookInfo[‘author’][$j].”<br />
“.$bookInfo[‘isbn’][$j].”<br />
“.$bookInfo[‘condition’][$j].”<br />
$”.$bookInfo[‘price’][$j].”
</div>
<div class=bookImg>
<img class=’thumbnail’ src=””.$bookInfo[‘thumbnail’][$j] .””>
<input type=’submit’ name=’purchase’ value=’Purchase’ />
</div>
</div><br />”;
}//end for loop
