Still getting used to stackoverflow excuse my rookie-ness.. :)
Have an SQL query that returns a data put into a table in php. I want this table to be used for purchasing.
My idea was to use the product id, meaning i would use a dynamic php variable (not sure if I'm doing that right now) believe I saw a post something like $.$varaible$.$ it wasn't very clear and was a different subject.
My code is as follows:
$result = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM Product WHERE Type = 'Game'");
?>
<div class="wrapper">
<h1 class="headGame">Buy Some Games Man</h1>
</div>
<br />
<div class="wrapper">
<?php
echo
"<table border='1'>
<tr>
<th> Name </th>
<th> Picture </th>
<th> Console </th>
<th> Description </th>
<th> Price </th>
<th> Amount </th>
</tr>";
echo '<form id="gamesOrder" action="purchase.php">';
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $row['Pd_Key'];
echo"<tr>";
echo"<td>" . $row['Name'] . "</td>";
echo"<td>" . '<img class="prdPic" src="'. $row['Picture']. '">' . "</td>";
echo"<td>" . $row['Type2'] . "</td>";
echo"<td>" . $row['Description'] . "</td>";
echo"<td>" . $row['Price'] . "</td>";
echo"<td>" . '<input type="number" min="0" max="100"; name="'.$id.'" value=0>' . "</td>";
echo"</tr>";
}
echo '<input type="submit" value=" BUY ">';
echo '</form>';
?>
When I click the submit it changes the url but nothing happens, it doesn't redirect.
Any advice on how to get this entire process to work. The variable being used in a purchasing form, via a php file ie (purchase.php) and the variable to use for this.
EDIT - Had minor errors, but still not 100% on variable %id, won't that get redefined each loop, how can I have it dynamic so it can be used in a form to identify what the user wants to buy.
Now redirects but not to purchase.php
URL is ~/purchase.php?1=0&2=0&3=0&4=0&5=0&6=0&7=0&8=0&9=0&10=0&11=0&12=0&13=0&14=0&15=0&16=0&17=0&18=0&19=0&20=0&21=0
Thanks you legends you!! =D
You are missing the closing form caret:
echo '<form id="gamesOrder" action"purchase.php"';
should be:
echo '<form id="gamesOrder" action="purchase.php">';
Also you concatenation for ID is incorrect:
echo"<td>" . '<input type="number" min="0" max="100"; name=".$id." value=0>' . "</td>";
should just be:
echo"<td>" . '<input type="number" min="0" max="100"; name="id" value="' .$id. '" value=0></td>';
To access the id in purchase.php use the following code:
$id = isset($_GET['id']) ? $_GET['id'] : null;
And you need to assign the action to the form with an equals sign:
action="myaction.php"
