Hyperlinks in PHP table

drumdogg · 24 Jul 2012 at 08:15

I have a php table with details of different products and in the table there is a column called 'Test Product'. I would like to be able to click on 'Test Product' and that then bring up a new page on that product. Im not sure on how to go about this.

Here is my table code:

Code:

echo "<table border='2' cellspacing = 3 cellpadding = '3'><tr><th>Circuit</th><th>Product</th><th>Silo</th><th>Frequency</th><th>Test</th></tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
//Display the results in different cells
echo "<tr><td>" . $row['circuit'] . "</td><td>" . $row['product'] . "</td><td>" . $row['silo'] . "</td><td>" .$row['frequency']."</td><td>'<td>Test Product</td></tr>";

Any help would be great

Thanks

Just echo "<a href="url">Test Product</a>", where the URL is the URL specific for that product.

Ok thanks.

Another quick question.

With a table how can i make a text area where i can type in?
Making a table with headings and with the <td> parts i want to be able to type into.

Thanks again

Right im on a roll today haha

Another question.

I have a HTML table with headings and in the <td> parts i have text boxes to type info in.
Can i save this info typed into these boxes into a database or can it only be done by using <form> instead of <table>??

Thanks

Can't you put a firm inside the table or vice versa

Just wrap <form> around the table and treat the whole thing as a normal form. That way the user can either press enter to submit, or you can put a submit button in yourself.

Code:

<form>
<table>
</table>
</form>

Ok heres another one!

When it comes to Inserting into the database iv came across an error that dreamweaver has shown.

Some of my table names have special characters and decimal points and it doesnt seem to like it.

Heres where the error is: '$_POST[+4.00mm%]'

Is there a way round this do you know.
