Dear Sir/Madame

I am making a website where user can insert data and wait for the admin to approve/reject the form. Now i am stuck with the update status where an admin can submit with a click pending to approval or reject with comments. I am new to PHP programming. Can somebody help me with the issue. Part 1 is inserting the data and part two is fetching the data but i am unable to solve the status approve/reject and comment at the same time on the view.php? page. Kindly help. Thank you. 

<?php


$host="localhost";
$username="root";
$pass="";
$db="ems1";

$conn=mysqli_connect($host,$username,$pass,$db);
if(!$conn){
	die("Database connection error");
}

// insert query for register page
if(isset($_REQUEST['proposal']))
{

$details=$_POST['details'];
$location=$_POST['location'];
$date=$_POST['date'];
$time=$_POST['time'];

$status="Pending";
$comment=$_POST['comment'];
	
	
	 $query="INSERT INTO `proposal` (`details`,`location`,`date`,`time`,`status`,`comment`) VALUES ('$details','$location','$date','$time','$status','$comment')";
	
	$res=mysqli_query($conn,$query);
	if($res){
		$_SESSION['success']="Not Inserted successfully!";
		header('Location:');
	}else{
		echo "Leave not Applied, please try again!";
	}
	}

Change the select query to add a where clause so you only select pending records.

On each output row, add Approve and Reject buttons with references to the record's id.

A couple of comments on your code:

  • Use prepared statements, don't put values directly into the query string.
  • the "for=" attributes in your labels should contain the unique id of the associated input element.

what if i want to display the data from the database with a link and when i click on the link shows the whole database on the other page?

The code will be pretty much the same as this. The exceptions will be

  • No update processing required
  • No " WHERE status = 'Pending' "
  • Select all columns (ie date and time also)

Your "view details" link will be

<a href="details.php?id=$id">View full details</a>

so that when details.php loads the id of the selected record will be in GET['id'].

Your query is then

SELECT 
       details
     , location,
     , date
     , time
     , status
     , comment
FROM tablename 
WHERE id = ?

Lay out the results as you want

Then add one, for example

<form method='post'>
<textarea name='comment' cols='50' rows='5'><?=$comment?></textarea>
<button name='status' class='w3-button w3-green' value='Approved'>Approve</button> 
<button name='status' class='w3-button w3-red' value='Rejected'>Reject</button>
</form>

You cannot just blindly copy/paste without thought about context and  what it is doing.

Lines 35 to 45 should be

                <tr>
                    <td>{$row['id']}</td>
                    <td>{$row['details']}</td>
                    <td>{$row['location']}</td>
                    <td>{$row['status']}</td>
                    <td><textarea name='comment' cols='50' rows='5'>{$row['comment']}</textarea></td>
                    
                    <td><button name='status' value='Approved' class='w3-button w3-green'>Approve</button></td>
                    <td><button name='status' value='Rejected' class='w3-button w3-red'>Reject</button></td>
                    
                </tr>
