Multiple Forms, Wrong Value Submitted - php

Question

I have PHP code creating multiple forms on a single page and the submission of any of these forms should trigger an API call based on which form was submitted.
if(isset($_POST['pickApples'])) {
echo '<h1>Picking Apple ' . $_POST['appleId'] . '</h1>';
// Function that calls API
pickApple($_POST['appleId']);
}
// $listOfApples is a list of 10 apples each with a unique ID
foreach ($listOfApples as $apple) {
echo '<form method="post" action="mypage.php">';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="appleId" value="' . $apple->{"id"} . '">';
echo '<button type="submit" class="my-button-class" value="click" name="pickApples">Pick Me</button>';
echo '</form>';
}
No matter which of the form buttons I click, the value in $_POST['appleId'] is the ID of the first apple in the list. I don't have much experience with PHP or HTML forms, is my approach completely off?

Answer 1

I am seeing some small mistakes as
echo '<input type="hidden" name="appleId" value"' . $apple->{"id"} . '">';
You should fix it,instead of foreach yor can use for loop to display forms,
as I haven't $listofapples,I used 10,you can query for row numbers than place row numbers value as $listofapples,then echo your unique id to input value,
Finally it's working as you wished
Check it & let me know if it's the perfect fit for you
<?php
if(isset($_POST['pickApples'])) {
echo '<h1>Picking Apple ' . $_POST['appleId'] . '</h1>';
// Function that calls API
pickApple($_POST['appleId']);
}
$listOfApples = 10;
// $listOfApples is a list of 10 apples each with a unique ID
$sn=0;
for ($i = 1; $i <= $listOfApples; $i++) {
echo '<form method="post" action="hy.php">';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="appleId" value=" ' .++$sn. '"/>';
echo '<button type="submit" class="my-button-class" value="click" name="pickApples">Pick Me</button>';
echo '</form>';
}
?>
