Re: Parsing Data, Table to Form

Hi Yasmine,

If you click the link only, it will not submit the form and pass the
information on. You need to have a 'submit' button in your form and hit
that.

Hi again.

I have carried out a search, then displayed the results in a table on a
php 
page called admininfo.php:

$row = pg_fetch_object($result, 0);

$test = "";

           for ($rw = 0; $rw < $maxrows; $rw++)
           {
                echo " <tr> ";

                for ($fld = 0; $fld < $maxfields ; $fld++)
                {

                        echo "<td width=\"418\" class=\"tabletext\" 
height=\"38\">";
                echo pg_Result($result,$rw,$fld);
                $test .= pg_Result($result,$rw,$fld);
                echo "</td>";

                echo "<form method=post action=updaad.php>\n";

                }
                echo "<td width=\"194\" class=\"tabletext\"
height=\"38\"> </td> </tr>";

           }

Now, i would like to parse the information displayed in the table to 
textfields on the page updaad.php, i've used a link to do this:

<a href="updaad.php">Update</a>

On the page updaad.php, i have displyed the textfields using the
following 
code:

echo "Admin ID Number: <input type=text name=\"formadid\"
value=\"$fld\"><br 
/>\n";
echo "Name: <input type=text name=\"formname\" value=\"$fld\"><br />\n";
echo "Surname: <input type=text name=\"formsurname\" value=\"$fld\"><br 
/>\n";
echo "Phone: <input type=text name=\"formphone\" value=\"$fld\"><br
/>\n"; echo "Email: <input type=text name=\"formemail\"
value=\"$fld\"><br />\n"; echo "Username: <input type=text
name=\"formusername\" value=\"$fld\"><br 
/>\n";
echo "Password: <input type=text name=\"formpassword\"
value=\"$fld\"><br 
/>\n";
echo "Building: <input type=text name=\"formbuilding\"
value=\"$fld\"><br 
/>\n";
echo "Postcode: <input type=text name=\"formpsotcode\"
value=\"$fld\"><br 
/>\n<br>";
echo "<input type=submit value=Update></form>\n";

but i am unable to write the information displayed in the table in 
admininfo.php, to the textfields in updaad.php.

Has anybody got any suggestions? :-)

Thanx

Yaz
