    <p>I have the following jQuery code in my PHP file <em>(edited Jan 19 2010 @ 10:40 MST)</em>:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $count = 0; foreach($attachments as $attachment) : echo '&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; $(\'#a_'.$count.'\').click(function() { $(\'#d_'.$count.'\').show(200); }); // if "no" is clicked $(\'#d_'.$count.' .no\').click(function() { $(\'#d_'.$count.'\').hide(200); }); // if "yes" is clicked $(\'#d_'.$count.' .yes\').click(function() { $(\'#d_'.$count.'\').hide(200); // update database table -- this is why I need the script inside the for loop! var jsonURL = \'http://path/to/update_db_script.php\'; $.getJSON(jsonURL, {\'post_id\' : '.$attachment-&gt;ID.'}, function(data) { alert(\'Thank you. Your approval was received.\'); }); $(\'#a_'.$count.'\').replaceWith(\'&lt;span&gt;Approved&lt;/span&gt;\'); }); &lt;/script&gt;'; echo '&lt;li&gt;'; if($attachment-&gt;post_excerpt == 'approved') { // Check the proof's status to see if it reads "approved" echo '&lt;span&gt;Approved&lt;/span&gt;'; } else { ?&gt; // If not yet approved, show options &lt;a class="approve" id="a_&lt;?php echo $count; ?&gt;" href="#"&gt;Click to Approve&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div class="confirm-approval" id="d_&lt;?php echo $count; ?&gt;"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Please confirm that you would like to approve this proof:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a class="yes" href="#"&gt;Yes, I approve&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="no" href="#"&gt;No, not yet&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;?php } ?&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;?php $count++; endforeach; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p><a href="http://www.usfoldercompany.com/wordpress/proofs/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The page in question is available here</a>. The "click to approve" links do not work (that's my problem).</p> <p>When I view source, the PHP variables appear to have echoed properly inside the jQuery:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; $('#a_0').click(function() { $('#d_0').show(200); }); ... etc ... &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>This looks correct, but nothing happens when I click any of the links. However, <strong>when I replace the PHP echo statements with plain numbers (0, 1, etc.) the click functions work as expected</strong>.</p> <p>You may be asking: <em>why on earth do you have this inside a for loop?</em> The reason is that I need to retrieve the <strong>attachment->ID</strong> variable and pass it to an external PHP script. When someone clicks "approve" and confirms, the external script takes the attachment->ID and updates a database value to read "approved".</p> <p><strong>Why won't the click function fire when PHP is in place?</strong> Is there some kind of greater force at work here (e.g., hosting limitation), or am I missing a fundamental piece of how PHP and JavaScript interact?</p>

    3. CORyan, your page is throwing a `loadArray is not defined` error referencing line 222 in jq_priceCalc.js. Can you fix that first? There is a remote possibility this is masking your problem.

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
