Getting Information From Submit Button I need to grab information from a submit button.

[sonesay 7]

I basically have an array that uses characters as keys and has an integer value to it.


I have a loop that outputs the list in that array. For each entry I want a a button to remove it. The button will submit the form to another page which contains the script to be able to remove it from the array. The infomation for the keys name is used for the buttons name value. Im not sure how you go about grabbing this information once on the submitted page.

heres my code

echo("<form name='jobs' action='remove_job.php'>");foreach($jobs as $job_class => $job_level) {echo($job_class . " - " . $job_level . " <input type='submit' name='" . $job_class . "' value='Remove' /> <br />" );}echo("</form>");

when submitted to remove_job.php i get the key + value added onto the url. eg. remove_job.php?job_class=Remove

note: job_class on the url would be either class i chose to remove eg. warrior, paladin, ninja.... on yeah some of my job classes have spaces in them for example "White Mage" would be be a potential problem?

Notice from rvalkass:

Moved to PHP section.

K well first of all you posted in the wrong section, you have PHP code there and this is the HTML/XML section.Secondly you don't need ( if you make an echo statement. echo("</form>"); Better is: Echo "</form>";. Finally, if you want to grab info from an url you need the super global $_GET.

 

For example you have: index.php?age=7&blabla=nothing

 

echo $_GET['age']; // gives 7 as output

echo $_GET['blabla']; // gives nothing as output

 

hope this will help you out.

 

PS. could an admin or moderator move this too PHP section
