HTML: putting a table in a form - php

Question

I'm coding an html table that displays information from a MySql table. Each row is a series of input's so the values of the table can be easily updated.
Here's my current code:
<form action=index.php/component/studentmanagement/?task=update method=post>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Email</th>
<th>Program</th>
<th>Class</th>
</tr>
<?php
$db = JFactory::getDBO();
$query = "SELECT * FROM student_management_module";
$db->setQuery($query);
$rows = $db->loadObjectList();
foreach ($rows as &$row) {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . "<input type=text name=fullName id=name_val value=" .$row->name. "> </td>";
echo "<td>" . "<input type=text name=email id=email_val value=" .$row->email. "> </td>";
echo "<td>" . "<input type=text name=prog id=prog_val value=" .$row->program. "> </td>";
echo "<td>" . "<input type=text name=class id=class_val value=" .$row->class. "> </td>";
echo "<td class = 'headcol'> <input type=submit name=update class='btnupdate' value=update>";
echo "<td>" . "<input type=hidden name=hidden value=" .$row->student_id. "> </td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
?>
</table> </form>
But whenever I try submitting the updated values, they don't get pass to my update functions. Am I putting the table in the form correctly?
Thanks in advance, and I'll appreciate any help.
This is my update function:
<?php
$db = JFactory::getDBO();
$query = "UPDATE student_management_module SET name = '$_POST[fullName]', email = '$_POST[email]', program='$_POST[prog]', class='$_POST[class]' WHERE student_id='$_POST[hidden]'";
$db->setQuery($query);
$db->query();
?>

Try having the value of the name and id in quotes or double quote. I.e., id="class_val". In your case, since you have already inserted the td in a double quote, use single quote. So it will be "<td class='foo' id='foo' name='foo'></td>".
