Body
<p>I have a small problem with my PHP Code and as always, any help is hugely appreciated.</p> <p>The code was originally designed by another person and I seem to have come across a problem that I can't fix.</p> <p>The structure of the page is as follows:</p> <ol> <li>A while loop to output the data, each of course, has a unique id.</li> <li>A checkbox that must be ticked before pressing the 'update' button (several update buttons present pending on how many rows are returned.</li> </ol> <p>This is what i'm confused on, he has designed it to they must tick the 'checkbox' before pressing update, otherwise, the script doesn't know which 'id' to update. Why is it like this?!</p> <pre><code><?php if($_POST['accept']){ if(!$_POST['check']){ echo "<div class='error_input'>Error! please tick box to confirm </div>"; }else{ $form_id=$_POST['fid']; $customer=$_POST['customer']; mysql_query("UPDATE job SET customer='$customer'WHERE f_id=$form_id "); echo "<div class='form_ok'>Job has been updated.</div>"; } ?> </code></pre> <p>If I just comment out the check box, and the user clicks the 'accept' button, it doesn't work, so clearly the 'checkbox' is pointing to the unique ID of the row, but I can't see it?</p> <pre><code><input type="checkbox" name="check" value="1" required/> <input type="submit" name="accept" value="Accept Job"> </code></pre> <p>My issue is, I want to be able to remove this annoying checkbox, and once the user has pressed 'accept' add the unique ID into a session, which I know can be done by:</p> <pre><code>$_SESSION['user_id'] = $user_id; </code></pre> <p>As they then get redirected to a pop-up box to which I need this unique ID to pull further data from the database.</p> <p>I've had a go at implemented this:</p> <pre><code><input type="submit" name="accept" value="<?php echo"$user_id"; ?>" class="sbutton"> </code></pre> <p>which works in a nutshell, how ever, it's not user friendly and I can't access the user_id, when I use the <code>$_POST</code> feature, it saves the 'name' field.</p> <p>I know this is long winded, I hope i've given you enough information, many thanks in advance.</p>

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.
