  1. POHow do I get the value of a changing attribute from a php form?
    text
    copied!<p>I am pulling information to be displayed from my database and what id like to happen is when the user clicks on a selection, its takes them to a form that would be just for that selection. So i have one form and im trying to pull the name attribute whose value is set but $form_id which gets its value depending on the person chosen. on the top id get the attribute's value displayed in my url bar which i dont mind, but i cant seem to echo it out. After I am able to pull the value i will then place it back into the database. Please see code below. Thank you!</p> <p>EDIT: For further clarification, i am pulling a list of names and ID's from the database. I am also pulling just the ID a second time and assigning it to form_id. I display this information on a button because when you click that button it should take you to a form that will then ask you for information that will be added to the row that holds your form_id. My problem is that form_id isnt coming over as the variable but what its assigned to ex. if form id assumes the value of 7, as per the id it pulls from the database, a $_GET(['form_id']) no longer works because 7 is what is being sent over, not form_id</p> <p>Before you submit form (click button):</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php while($pro_showcase = mysqli_fetch_assoc($pro_s)) { $form_id = $pro_showcase['performance_id']; echo "&lt;div class=\"xs-col-4 col-sm-offset-2 separate\"&gt;&lt;form role=\"form\"action=\"judge-form.php\" method=\"get\"&gt;&lt;button name=\"$form_id\" type=\"submit\" class=\"btn btn-danger\"&gt; &lt;p&gt;ID: "; echo implode("&lt;br&gt; ",$pro_showcase); echo "&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/button&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"; } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>After submission, where it submits to:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if (isset($_GET['submit'])) { $n = $_GET["$form_id"]; echo $n; } ?&gt; </code></pre>
