Updating records through the use of textbox and button inside a do while

[iamjp]

 

 

I am 3rd yr college student and enrolled to a subject web programming and right now i am developing a web based tabulation for scoring contestants. i am having a trouble regarding on how to update a record(score) in database when the judge is giving a score to the contestant using a textbox and a button .. the problem is that it didnt read the value from an inputed textbox

btw the textbox and the button was inside a do while loop so everytime a new contestant was added the image will be retrieved and another textbox and button will be placed..(to sum up, every contestant has a button and textbox for inputing the score) HERE IS THE CODE..

--------> Do while for retrieving image and textboxes

do{

$count++;

echo "<td style='color:#C90;font-weight:bold;font-size:12px;' >";

echo "<div id = 'hover'>";

echo "<img src = 'images/" . $result['imagename'] . "' height='300px;' width='300px;' class='img'>";

echo '<br/>';

echo $result['Name'];

echo '<br/>';

echo $result['course'];

echo '<br/>';

echo $result['branch'];

$ID =  $result['ID']; 

echo $result['ID'];



echo '<div class = "hover">';

echo "<form method='post' style='position:relative; bottom:-120px; right:-50px;'>";

echo "<table>";

echo "<tr>";

echo "<td>";

echo "SCORE";

echo "</td>";

echo "<td>";

echo '<input type="text" name="txtscore" style="height:30px; width:50px; background-color:#923227; box-shadow:1px 1px  #FFF; color:#C90;font-weight:bold; font-size:16px;"/>';

echo "</td>";

echo "<td>";

echo "</td>";

echo "</tr>";

echo "</table>";

echo "</form>";

echo "<a href = 'fasttrackscw.php?id=".$ID."'>";

echo "<input type='submit' name='btn1'>";

echo "</a>";

echo '</div>';

echo "</div>";

echo "</td>";

$result=mysql_fetch_assoc($query);



if($count >= $max){

//reset counter

$count = 0;

//end and restart

 echo "</tr><tr>";





}



}



while($result);



--------> Query for updating

if(isset($_POST['btn'])){



@$id  =$_GET['id'];

$sql = "update tblfastracks set casualwear = '$_POST[txtscore]' where contestantid = '$id'";

mysql_query($sql,$connection);

}

Change these lines

echo "</form>";
echo "<a href = 'fasttrackscw.php?id=".$ID."'>";
echo "<input type='submit' name='btn1'>";
echo "</a>";

to

echo "<input type='hidden' name='id' value='$ID'>";
echo "<input type='submit' name='btn'>";
echo "</form>";

so the id and txtscore are both POSTed in the form data when the submit button ("btn" by the way) is clicked
