Adding an Edit Record Radio Button for displayed results
Hi everyone. Guys im working on a page called: showtasks_select_v4.php
It currently does the following:
- Has a select box that gets its data from a mysql table
- Has a table that displays results according to what has been selected from the select box.
What id like to add is the following...
- An Edit radio button column for the tabled results
- Upon selecting a record in the displayed table results, and clicking an "Edit this record" button,
that record is displayed in another table on the same page as the results, and is available to be edited and saved back to the database.
I have attached a printscreen of before and afters for you guys to see, plus all code for this little project.
There is only 1 php file for this...which is: showtasks_select_v4.php
And 2 tables for mysql.... projects_pro currenttasks_ctk
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi EMB01..... I have added the Edit Radio button....to the right, and added the ID of the $row to it.
What im not sure now is how i display the selected record.
I now have 3 forms on the page.
1) For the select box
2) For the Edit button (which I have placed in the header row section of the table)
3) For the radio buttons in the table itself
For the 3rd one, I dont have a submit input element.
Here is the code for the 3rd one...
<form name="formedit" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<input type="radio" name="editme" value="<?php echo $rows['id_ctk']; ?>">
</form>
Im trying to retrieve the value for the radio button selected with the following, which i cant get.
$grabradiotask = $_POST['editme'];
My complete code so far is in the snippet...

EM,
Mate do you want me to close this question and open another one bud?

No you don't have to open up a new one. I can try to get the radio button method to work if you want. But it would be basically the same and a lot easier to just make the radio buttons submit buttons, then on submit register the $row_['ID'] to the form (below) on that same page. What do you want to do?
If you want to do it in two steps, as you have it, just make a form on that page and make your SQL UPDATE query use the value of $grabradiotask. I recommend that you use just one step, replace the radio button with a submit button and capture the value that way. Then, use the same method for updating the SQL. Let me know which way you want to go and if you need any help.
If you want to use radio buttons, all you need to do is this:
Change your radio button HTML to <input type="radio" name="radio" value="$row['ID']">
Then, add this PHP code in your <head>:
<?php
if(isset($radio))
{
$id = $radio;
} else {
$id = 0;
}
?>
Finally, make the form below update using the ID of $radio. If you are using a processing script on another page, your update form would look like this:
<form name="myform" action="/processing_script
Just let me know what you are trying to do. If you want to open a new question for this, let me know where it is so I can help!
