I'm having a bit of trouble maintaining the value of a variable within a while do loop. It seems the pointer keeps pointing to the first id no matter how many loops there are. I've inserted a hidden field which pulls in each id with shows the IDs are fine but whenever I click on 'editForm' anchor it always points to either the first or last id in the loop, (depending on whether I put the editForm div tag before or after the loop). Can anyone out there help me fix this problem? The code is shown below:
$('.formEditAnchor').click(function() {
$('#editMyForm').submit();
});
<?php
function editFunction($editID) {
$database = new database();
$res = $database->selectDB("select content as EditContent from content where id = '$editID'");
$editForm = "<form method='POST' action='_scripts/_php/edit-file.php'>";
$editForm.= "<textarea name='saveContent' cols='70' rows='25'>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($res)) {
$row = mysql_fetch_array($res);
$editableFile = $row['EditContent'];
$editableContent = file($editableFile);
$editableString = implode($editableContent);
}
$editForm.= $editableString;
$editForm.= "</textarea>";
$editForm.= "<input type='hidden' name='hiddenEditPath' value='<?php echo $editableFile; ?>' />";
$editForm.= "<br />";
$editForm.= "<input type='submit' name='saveFile' value='Save'>";
$editForm.= "</form>";
return $editForm;
}
function submitEditForm() {
if (isset($_POST['formEditAnchor'])) {
$usersReplyId = $_POST['hiddenUserReplyID'];
$returnEdit = editFunction($usersReplyId);
return $returnEdit;
}
}
$result3 = $database->selectDB("select * from blog_content where content_id = '$id'");
$r = array();
while($rows = mysql_fetch_array($result3)) {
$myID = $rows['id'];
$file = $rows['content'];
$contents = file($file);
$string = implode($contents);
?>
<form name="editMyForm" id="editMyForm" method="post" action"<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]?>">
<input type="hidden" name="hiddenUserReplyID" id="hiddenUserReplyID" value="<?php echo $myID ?>" />
<table>
<tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#F8F7F1" align="center">Date/Time:<?php echo $rows['datetime']; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#f8f7f1"><?php
echo $string;
echo "<br /><br />";
?>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="#editContent" class="create-content" id="formEditAnchor" onclick="<?php $myReturnEdit = submitEditForm(); ?>">Edit File</a></td>
</tr>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<?php
}
?>
<div id='editContent' class='create-topic'>
<?php
echo $myReturnEdit;
?>
