approve and delete data

[evios]

Hi there, i am currently working on php for a form claim. And in database, i have a table which is use to store each input entered by the user (so it will increase each time user entered once). Then the database is accessible by admin. I juz want to add a radio button for approval or delete for the looping. below will be my code:

$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
echo "<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />";
echo "<center><b>Welcome to the Administrator page</b></center>";
echo "<br />";
echo "<center>Below will be a list of users with the claims pending for approval...";
echo "<br />";
echo "<br />";
echo "<table border=\"1\" align=\"center\">";
echo "<tr><th>Username</th>";
echo "<th>password</th>";
echo "<th>department</th>";
echo "<th>duemonth</th>";
echo "<th>category</th>";
echo "<th>amount</th>";
echo "<th>specification</th>";
echo "<th>approve</th>";
echo "<th>delete</th></tr>";
// Print out the contents of each row into a table 
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo "<tr><td>";
echo $row['username'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['password'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['department'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['duemonth'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['category'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['amount'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['specification'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo "</td><td>";
echo "<br />";
        //here, i need to add the button for each loop and identifier to differentiate the appropriate row so that the data can be saved as another variables or array.

This is how I do it.

 

<?php
			// Connect to the database.
			require_once ('mysql_connect.php');

			// Make the query.
			$query = "SELECT BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, DATE_FORMAT(date_entered, '%M %d, %Y') AS date FROM database WHERE approved=0 ORDER BY date_entered ASC";

			// Run the query.
			$results = @mysql_query ($query);

			$numOfRecords = mysql_num_rows($results);

			// If the query ran w/o error & came up with records, display them.
			if ($numOfRecords > 0)
			{
				// Table header.
				echo '  <table align="left" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
						<tr>
							<td align="left"> </td>
							<td align="left"><b>Approve</b></td>
							<td align="left"><b>Delete</b></td>
							<td align="left"><b>BLAH</b></td>
							<td align="left"><b>BLAH</b></td>
							<td align="left"><b>BLAH</b></td>
							<td align="left"><b>Date Submitted</b></td>
						</tr>';

				// Fetch and print all the records.

				$bg = '#dee4ed'; // Set the background color.
				$count = 0; // Variable to name the results in order.

				// Start the form.
				echo '<form action="date_approve.php" method="post">';

				while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($results, MYSQL_ASSOC))
				{
					// Alternate the background color.
					$bg = ($bg == '#dee4ed' ? '#ffffff' : '#dee4ed');

					echo '  <tr bgcolor="' . $bg . '">
								<td align="left"><a href="edit.php?title=' . $row['BLAH'] . '&name=' . $row['BLAH'] . '&rating=' . $row['BLAH'] . '">Edit</a></td>
								<td align="center"><input type="radio" name="result' . $count . '" value="approve"></td>
								<td align="center"><input type="radio" name="result' . $count . '" value="delete"><input type="hidden" name="rating' . $count . '" value="' . $row['BLAH'] .'"></td>
								<td align="left">' . $row['BLAH'] . '</td>
								<td align="left">' . $row['BLAH'] . '</td>
								<td align="left">' . $row['BLAH'] . '</td>
								<td align="left">' . $row['BLAH'] . '</td>
							</tr>';	

					// Increment count.
					$count++;						
				}

				// Create submit/reset, close the tabble, close the form.
				echo '	<tr bgcolor="#ffffff">
							<td align="left"><input type="submit" class="button" name="submit" value="Submit"></td>
							<td align="left"><input type="reset" class="button" name="reset" value="Reset"></td>
						</tr>
						</table>';
				echo '</form>';

				// Free up the resources.
				mysql_free_result ($results);
			}
			else
				echo '<p>There are no items that need to be approved at this time.</p>';

			// This will control the review quotes form.
			if (isset($_POST['submit']))
			{
				// Loop through the radio buttons.
				for ($i = 0; $i <= $count; $i++)
				{
					// If the radio buttons was clicked, determine approve/delete and operate accordingly.
					if (isset($_REQUEST['result' . $i]))
					{
						$result = $_REQUEST['result' . $i];
						$userrating = $_REQUEST['userrating' . $i];

						// Create an array to store the approved.
						$approvedDates = array();

						if ($result == 'approve')
						{
							// Set up the query.
							$query = "UPDATE database SET approved=1 WHERE rating=$rating";

							// Run the query.
							$results = @mysql_query ($query);
						}
						else if ($result == 'delete')
						{
							// Set up the query.
							$query = "DELETE FROM database WHERE rating=$rating";

							// Run the query.
							$results = @mysql_query ($query);
						}
					}
				}
				// Delete the output buffer.
				ob_end_clean();

				// Reload the page.
				$url = approve.php';
				header("Location: $url");
			}
			?>

 

 

This is just an example
