    <p>I have a page with an HTML table containing results from a query. Next to each row, I have a button that, when clicked, make a lightbox appears with a small HTML form where the user can enter a comment.</p> <p>When the user clicks the submit button on this form, it should then send the data contained in the row (ie, each cell value as an array if that's possible) as well as the comment to a script, which will insert them in a database.</p> <p>After it is done, a small message saying so appears, and the user can go back to the table as the lightbox disappears.</p> <p>My problem is transmitting the data to the PHP script that will process it. The AJAX JavaScript works alright, except that I don't know how to send the data.</p> <p>Here is the code : </p> <pre><code>function getOutput() { //Get number of selected table row var i = document.getElementById('rowclicked').value; //Get the table var table = document.getElementById('table'); //Get the comment var comm = document.getElementById('comment').value; var ajax = getRequest(); ajax.onreadystatechange = function(){ if(ajax.readyState == 4){ alert(ajax.responseText); } } ajax.open("POST", "functions_comm.php", true); ajax.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'); //Only try to send the table row for now ajax.send(table.rows[i]); } </code></pre> <p>If I put "php echo "test"; " in "functions_comm.php", "alert(ajax.responseText);" displays "test", so that part is working. However, if I try to "print_r($_POST)", it returns an empty array, which I assume means that no data was passed by "ajax.send(table.rows[i]);".</p> <p>How can I pass the data from the row i of the table to the php script ?</p> <p>Thanks.</p>

    1. COTry alerting/printing to console the value of table.rows[i]. This will let you see if it's actually empty or not.

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.
