morocco-iceberg Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 This code has options for adding and deleting data from a table. Adding data works, my problem arises when trying to echo out the current data with a delete button for each row. The data echos out fine, but the delete buttons do not work. Help? if(isset($_POST["add"])){ $a = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["a"]); $b = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["b"]); $c = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["c"]); $d = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["d"]); $e = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["e"]); if(!$a || !$b || !$c || !$d || !$e) { die("Please <a href=\"edit_writing.php\">try again</a> and ensure the form is completed properly."); } mysql_query("INSERT INTO writing (a, b, c, d, e) VALUES ('$a', '$b', '$c', '$d', '$e')") or die($error_message); $success_message = "Question was added."; } echo "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\"> <html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\"> <head> <meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" /> <title>Title</title> <link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"css.css\" /> </head> <body> <div id=\"timer\"> </div> <div id=\"wrap\"> <div id=\"mainheader\"> </div> <div id=\"content\"> <div id=\"orangeheader\"><br/> Grammar Test </div> <div id=\"text\"> " . $success_message .

ignace Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Create one form for the entire table and use <button> instead of input. <button type="submit" name="delete" value="' . $counter . '" class="delete">Delete</button> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
