MesaFloyd Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Rookie here(old guy), but some <dangerous> knowledge. I make a table that has rows called from a DB (works fine) I need to add a column with button for each row, that when pressed, will copy to clipboard the content of a particular cell in that row ...'pcidip'... If too complex to copy to clipboard, alternatively, perhaps just higlight the content of the cell and the user can then <cntl>C to copy to clipboard. I need it to operate across all platforms (IE, Chrome, Firefox... etc) Can this be <simply> done in PHP? Here is what I have ... snip... echo "<table border='1'>"; echo "<tr> <th>Username</th> <th>Password</th> <th>IP Address</th> <th>Email Address</th> <th>Chk</th> <th> Last Visit Date-Time </th> <th>Copy/Highlight IP</th> </tr>"; // keeps getting the next row until there are no more to get while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) { // Print out the contents of each row into a table echo "<tr><td>"; echo $row['username']; echo "</td><td>"; echo $row['password']; //show the passwords //echo " Blocked "; //passwords are blocked - use this -or- the above, not both echo "</td><td>"; echo $row['pcidip']; echo "</td><td>"; echo $row['email']; echo "</td><td>"; echo $row['emailchk']; echo "</td><td>"; if ($row['datetime'] < date("Y.m.d - H:i:s",time()-60*60)) { echo "<font color='red'>"; echo $row['datetime']; echo " (zzzz)"; } else { echo "<font color='green'>"; echo $row['datetime']; } echo "</td><td>"; echo "button here"; //want button to copy 'pcidip' to clipboard <or HL> - don't know how yet echo "</td></tr>"; } Im sure this would be simple but the only thing I can find is with JS and unique to IE. Please be gentle with me... Im not that savvy, but I try hard...

newbtophp Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 You'd require Javascript not PHP for this. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/198107-button-to-copy-or-highlight-a-cell/#findComment-1039437 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MesaFloyd Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 thanks for that "You'd require Javascript not PHP for this...." would I need JS for simple highlighting (not copying) when the button is pressed also?... or can that be done in PHP?
