Good Day!
I am trying to use my limited knowledge to create a VERY simple process to
display some of the information in my table, allow a particular record to be
selected, then opened on a page with text boxes to edit the information,
after which the UPDATE command will be used to update the database.
That being said, I have a way that I think this will work, but I don't
have a unique record number in my table for each of the entries. I have
tried getting PHPMyAdmin to set this up, but I cannot seem to make it work.
SO - I need to try to create that ID on the fly. I figured I could just
combine the first and last names to make this ID, but I am not sure what the
syntax should be. Here is the code I have dealing with defining the
variables...
Any help or thoughts would be splendid!
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $row['last_name'],$row['first_name'];
$fname = $row['first_name'];
$lname = $row['last_name'];
$option_block .= "<option value=\"$id\">$lname, $fname</option>";
Use the dot (.) for appending variables...
so it would be:
$id = $row['last_name'].$row['first_name'];
...or course if you want that would look like this: 'SmithAdam'
if you want 'Smith,Adam' as your id then:
$id = $row['last_name'].",".$row['first_name'];
