Why is my submit button not working on this form I made in PHP?
0
This one's really stumped me and it's for something that should be relatively simple. I am trying to make a form with nothing but a submit button in the middle of a table I am echoing in PHP. The name of the submit button in this form is being drawn from a database I have a working connection to.
I have tested thoroughly and can confirm the data is coming from the database. I have a couple of other similar forms working fine in the page and they work correctly. When I put this particular form next to those working ones, it works fine. Besides that, I can't get this form to work anywhere else.
Here's the code for my broken form, along with context:
function buildTables($thecategory = "staff")
{
include "db.php";
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_GB');
$stmt = $mysql->query($_SESSION['query']);
$customercount = 0;
$totalpoints = 0;
$paythismonth = 0;
while ($row = $stmt->fetch())
{
echo'<table><tr><article style="line-height: 0.5em; padding-bottom:2em; background-color:FF7070; color: white; height: 20em; width: 100em; margin-left: 14em">
<div style="display: table-row; color: white">
<div style="display: table-cell; padding-left: 2em; padding-top: 2em">
<p style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.8em">'.$row['Forename'].' '.$row['Surname'].'</p>
<p>ID: '.$row['ID'].'</p>
<p>Forename: '.$row['Forename'].'</p>
<p>Surname: '.$row['Surname'].'</p>';
if ($thecategory == "staff")
echo '</div><div style="display: table-cell; padding-left: 20em; padding-top: 2em"><br><br><p style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.2em">Emergency Contact</p>
<p>Forename: '.$row['Emergency Forename'].'</p>
<p>Surname : '.$row['Emergency Surname'].'</p>
<p>Address Line 1 : '.$row['Emergency Address Line 1'].'</p>
<p>Address Line 2 : '.$row['Emergency Address Line 2'].'</p>
<p>City: '.$row['Emergency City'].'</p>
<p>Country: '.$row['Emergency Country'].'</p>
<p>Postcode: '.$row['Emergency Postcode'].'</p>
#BROKEN FORM HERE
<form action="editstaff.php" method="post">
<input type="submit" value="Edit staff member" style="font-size: 1.2em" name="'.$row['ID'].'" /></form></div>';
And here's the place elsewhere in my table where I can get forms to work.
if ($thecategory == "customers")
$customercount+=1;
echo '</div><div style="display: table-cell; padding-left: 20em; padding-top: 2em"><br><br>
<p>Points: '.$row['Points'].'</p>';
$totalpoints += $row['Points'];
$averagepoints = $totalpoints / $customercount;
echo '
<form action="editcustomer.php" method="post">
<input type="submit" value="Edit customer" style="font-size: 1.2em" name="'.$row['ID'].'"></form>
<form action="removecustomer.php" method="post">
<input type="submit" value="Remove customer" style="font-size: 1.2em" name="'.$row['ID'].'"></form></div>';
Just to confirm, this exact sort of code works completely fine elsewhere in my website but here it does not. Any ideas?

Theactionmethods in a working one and in the broken one look suspitiously different. Also i would advise against echoing that much html code. The same result can be achived easier. PHP code can be inserted to the html markup. And it will be executed on the server side.

Can you confirm if the$row['ID']is correct Id that you want to edit. Also can you elaborate the issue like what's the exact error?

Can you confirm all the values your trying to echo out in PHP do actually exists.
– Toxide82
Nov 12 '18 at 13:04
putting row['ID'] as a variable name is a very bad idea. try to read code from the editcustomer.php with print_r($_REQUEST); and say what is shows.

<table><tr><article— Your HTML is invalid and invalid HTML tables cause massive problems, especially when mixed with forms. Use a validator and don't use tables for layout. 1996 has come, we have CSS now.

This one's really stumped me and it's for something that should be relatively simple. I am trying to make a form with nothing but a submit button in the middle of a table I am echoing in PHP. The name of the submit button in this form is being drawn from a database I have a working connection to.
I have tested thoroughly and can confirm the data is coming from the database. I have a couple of other similar forms working fine in the page and they work correctly. When I put this particular form next to those working ones, it works fine. Besides that, I can't get this form to work anywhere else.
Here's the code for my broken form, along with context:
function buildTables($thecategory = "staff")

setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_GB');
$stmt = $mysql->query($_SESSION['query']);
$customercount = 0;
$totalpoints = 0;
$paythismonth = 0;
while ($row = $stmt->fetch())
{
echo'<table><tr><article style="line-height: 0.5em; padding-bottom:2em; background-color:FF7070; color: white; height: 20em; width: 100em; margin-left: 14em">

Theactionmethods in a working one and in the broken one look suspitiously different. Also i would advise against echoing that much html code. The same result can be achived easier. PHP code can be inserted to the html markup. And it will be executed on the server side.

Can you confirm if the$row['ID']is correct Id that you want to edit. Also can you elaborate the issue like what's the exact error?
– Nik
Nov 12 '18 at 12:58
Can you confirm all the values your trying to echo out in PHP do actually exists.
– Toxide82
Nov 12 '18 at 13:04
putting row['ID'] as a variable name is a very bad idea. try to read code from the editcustomer.php with print_r($_REQUEST); and say what is shows.

<table><tr><article— Your HTML is invalid and invalid HTML tables cause massive problems, especially when mixed with forms. Use a validator and don't use tables for layout. 1996 has come, we have CSS now.

The question is simple. In order to submit a form you have to put your button between <form></form> tags like below:
<form method="POST" action="your_file.php">
<input type="hidden" name="ID" value=".$row['ID'].">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
A better approach by putting a tag like:
<a href="your_file.php?ID=".$row['ID']."&action=edit">edit</a>
<a href="your_file.php?ID=".$row['ID']."&action=remove">remove</a>
