ginerjm Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 This forum loves to help those who help themselves. With that point clear - until you show an ability to write SOME code, people here usually will not give you code help. If you can't code already then it really doesn't help you for us to give you one line of it. A point to consider is that the button would submit a form to your script that then grabs the input elements hidden in your page's form. If you have multiple sets of info on your webpage, you may have multiple forms embedded in, each one with a button that submits its own form, passing the data needed to the download script. If that makes sense, happy coding!

QuickOldCar Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Since you already have a mysql database I would assume you know how to connect to that database and perform a select query. If not here is 2 links that can help you. http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.query.php http://php.net/manual/en/pdo.query.php Once you have a loop of results you can echo the row value within an <a> tag and use the download attribute echo "<a href='".$row['link']."' download='".$row['link']."'>".$row['link']."</a><br />"; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/297857-get-button-value-from-a-link-stored-in-mysql-database/#findComment-1519282 Share on other sites More sharing options...
