    <p>PHP:<br/> How would I execute SQL when a button is clicked? Would I do it with the JavaScript <code>onClick()</code> function, or some other way? I am trying to do this inside of a loop, and only execute the sql on the row that the button is clicked on... Thanks!</p> <p>Code for <strong>@PHPnoOb</strong> to help: Okay, so now I have all of that sorted out, but when the button is clicked it executes once for each row... not just once for the row the button was clicked on! I only want the row that the button was clicked on to be queried... my code:</p> <pre><code>while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) { //FAULTY CODE!!! EXECUTES ONCE FOR EACH ROW! //I WANT IT TO ONLY EXECUTE FOR THE ROW THE //BUTTON WAS CLICKED ON if(isset($_POST['delete'])){ echo "You clicked on: ".$row['subject']; //eventually i will have sql query up here } //echo all the results into a table... messy echo" &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div align='center'&gt;&lt;font color='grey'&gt;".$row['date']."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div align='center'&gt; ".$row['sender']."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div align='center'&gt; ".$row['subject']."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div align='center'&gt;&lt;input type='button' value='open' onClick='window.alert(\"On ".$row['date']." ".$row['sender']." wrote:\\n".$row['message']."\")'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div align='center'&gt;&lt;form method='post'&gt;&lt;input type='submit' value='delete' name='delete'/&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; "; } echo '&lt;/table&gt;'; //ends the table. </code></pre>

    2. COYou'd need to send an HTTP POST/GET request to be able to tell the PHP server when the button is clicked, and have PHP call any database functions. Most of the time this is achieved using a HTML form, but not necessarily.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
