ataboy Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Hi friends, the below code, which I've worked on quite a while, creates a dropdown, selects a record with a link to visit the url of that record. one ? can I update the table b4 closing? -------------------------------------------------- below is code: <?php include ('homedb-connect.php'); ?> <!DOCTYPE><html><head> <title>lookup menu</title> </head> <body><center><b> <form name="form" method="post" action=""> <?php //This creates the drop down box echo "<select name= 'target'>"; echo '<option value="">' . '--- Select account ---' . '</option>'; $query = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT target FROM infotbl"); if ($query === false) { echo "Something went wrong<br />"; echo mysqli_error($conn); } else { while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query)) { echo "<option value='" . $row['target'] . "'>" . $row['target'] . '</option>'; } } echo '</select>'; ?> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"/> </form><center> <?php // ============================================== if (isset($_REQUEST['target'])) { $target = $_REQUEST['target']; // =============================================== $fetch = "SELECT id, target, purpose, user, password, email, visits, lastused FROM infotbl WHERE target = '" . mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $target) . "'"; // =============================================================================== $result = mysqli_query($conn, $fetch); if (!$result) { echo "Error:" . (mysqli_error($conn)); } //display the table echo '<table border="1"><tr><td bgcolor="cyan" align="center">lookup menu</td></tr> <tr><td> <table border="1"> <tr> <td>id</td> <td bgcolor="#ccffff"> Target </td> <td bgcolor="violet"> Purpose </td> <td bgcolor="#ccffff"> User </td> <td bgcolor="#ccffff">Password </td> <td bgcolor="#ccffff"> Email </td> <td bgcolor="#cyan"> Visits </td> <td bgcolor="#cyan"> lastused</td> </tr>'; while ($data = mysqli_fetch_row($result)) { // ========================================================== $url = "http://$target"; $link = '<a href="' . $url .
