Let me post some code first so I can explain more of what I want to accomplish.
<?php
require "../config.php";
require "../common.php";
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
if (!hash_equals($_SESSION['csrf'], $_POST['csrf'])) die();
try {
$connection = new PDO($dsn, $username, $password, $options);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM saledata WHERE itemnumber = :itemnumber";
$itemnumber = $_POST['itemnumber'];
$statement = $connection->prepare($sql);
$statement->bindParam(':itemnumber', $itemnumber, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$statement->execute();
$result = $statement->fetchAll();
} catch(PDOException $error) {
echo $sql . "<br>" . $error->getMessage();
}
}
?>
<?php require "templates/header.php"; ?>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
if ($result && $statement->rowCount() > 0) { ?>
<h2>Results</h2>
<style>
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid black;
}
</style>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Item Number</th>
<th>Sale Number</th>
<th>Lot Number</th>
<th>Item Description</th>
<th>Seller Number</th>
<th>Buyer Number</th>
<th>Sold</th>
<th>Sold</th>
<th>Paid</th>
<th>Date</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php foreach ($result as $row) : ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo escape($row["itemnumber"]); ?></td>
<td><?php echo escape($row["salenumber"]); ?></td>
<td><?php echo escape($row["lotnumber"]); ?></td>
<td><?php echo escape($row["itemdescription"]); ?></td>
<td><?php echo escape($row["sellernumber"]); ?></td>
<td><?php echo escape($row["buyernumber"]); ?></td>
<td><?php echo escape($row["sold"]); ?></td>
<td><?php echo escape($row["paid"]); ?></td>
<td><?php echo escape($row["amount"]); ?></td>
<td><?php echo escape($row["date"]); ?> </td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</tbody>
</table>
<?php } else { ?>
<blockquote>No results found for <?php echo escape($_POST['itemnumber']); ?>.</blockquote>
<?php }
} ?>
<h2>Find item based on Item Number</h2>
<form method="post">
<input name="csrf" type="hidden" value="<?php echo escape($_SESSION['csrf']); ?>">
<label for="itemnumber">Item Number</label>
<input type="text" id="itemnumber" name="itemnumber"><br><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="View Results">
</form>
<?php require "templates/footer.php"; ?>
(END)
This produces an HTML table containing the data in the database in rows. What I would like is a button at the beginning or end of the rows that will modify a field in that item's row. An example is the column for sold or not sold. What I would like is a button at either the beginning or the end of each row that modifies the "sold" column from N to Y for that item. I have tried to put a block of code in the code here at the end but I can't get it to do anything. I can get the button to show using the HTML tag but can't get it to actually do anything. Here is the concept of the foreach:
<td><?php echo escape($row["sold"]); ?></td>
<td><?php echo escape($row["paid"]); ?></td>
<td><?php echo escape($row["amount"]); ?></td>
<td><?php echo escape($row["date"]); ?> </td>
<td>BUTTON and code to change Sold from N to Y</td>
</tr>
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! I know my stuff is probably elementary and not very efficient, but I have been working on this project for several weeks and never worked with a MYSQL database before.
