need help in posting hidden type data

[doforumda]

hi

 

i am trying to post hidden type data. the problem is when i press click link then it should display that postid for which user clicks click link. but it only displays the first post's postid

 

here is my code

<?php
$connect = mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass");
$db = mysql_select_db("db");
$get_data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM posts");

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($get_data)) {
$postid = $row['postid'];
$post = $row['post'];
?>
    <div>
    <?php
echo $postid."<br>".$post;
?>
    <input type="hidden" name="click" id="click" value="<?php echo $postid ?>" />
    <a class="click_here" href="#">Click</a>
    </div>
    <?php
}
?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/jquery-1.4.min(Production).js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.click_here').click(function() {
	var clickval = $('#click').val();
	alert(clickval);
});
});
</script>

You need to use a form with a submit button instead of an <a href> link.

yes i know it works that way but i need it this way. how can i do this way

You can't. You'll have to set the value in a session var. $_SESSION['postid'] = $postid

[doforumda]

is there any other way to do this, without using form and session var?

[doforumda]

the purpose of doing this is, i ll have reply link instead of click here and when user clicks on reply then a hidden textarea will appear only below that particular post for which user clicks reply

 

thats why i am trying to do this

You can append the variable to the URL string, www.site.com/page.php?postid=$postid and use $_GET['postid'] to retrieve it. Nothing else immediately comes to mind . . .

So the page doesn't reload when the link is clicked, it's handled by JQuery, correct? If that's the case, there should be a way to do this without needing to pass the value at all (I'd imagine). My javascript skills end at 'alert' though, so I'll not be able to help with that part of it.

[doforumda]

yes it correct it is handled by jquery

i want to do something like this

<?php
$connect = mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass");
$db = mysql_select_db("db");
$get_data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM posts");

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($get_data)) {
$postid = $row['postid'];
$post = $row['post'];
?>
    <div>
    <?php
echo $postid."<br>".$post;
?>
    <style>
.reply_container<?php echo $postid; ?> {
	display: none;
}
</style>
    <input type="hidden" name="click" id="click" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['postid']; ?>" />
    <a class="click_here" href="#">Click</a>
    </div>
    <div class="reply_container<?php echo $postid; ?>">
    <form action="" method="post">
        <textarea name="reply" id="reply" rows="3" cols="40"></textarea>
        <input type="button" name="replybtn" id="replybtn" value="reply" />
    </form>
    </div>
    <?php
}
?>
<div class="display"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/jquery-1.4.min(Production).js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.click_here').click(function() {
	var clickval = $('#click').val();
	alert(clickval);
	$('.reply_container' + clickval).css('display','block');
});
});
</script>
