Php Listing Data with datatables - php

Question

I have a datatable and i am listing 3 columns from database.(Actually got 25)
I have added a submit button for each row and want to see the all data when user click that button on the bottom of the page.
Here is my code:
<?php
require_once 'config.php';
// Attempt select query execution
$sql = "SELECT * FROM jobs";
if($result = mysqli_query($db, $sql)){
if(mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0){
while($row =
mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
echo "<td><button type='submit' value=".$row['id']".">Show Details</a></td>";
echo "<td>'" . $row['type'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['status'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['location'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row["result"] . "</td>";
}
// Free result set
mysqli_free_result($result);
} else{
echo "<p class='lead'><em>No data.</em></p>";
}
} else{
echo "ERROR: Could not able to execute
$sql. " . mysqli_error($link);
}
// Close connection
mysqli_close($db);
?>
I tried to use Post method but didn't worked.

you can use jquery to do it like this.
<?php
require_once 'config.php';
// Attempt select query execution
if(!mysqli_select_db($conn,$db))
die("Cant select to database");
$sql = "SELECT * FROM jobs";
if($result = mysqli_query($db, $sql)){
echo "<table id='example'>";
if(mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0){
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td><button type='submit' value=". $row['id'] . ">Show Details</a></td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['type'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['status'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['location'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row["result"] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
// Free result set
mysqli_free_result($result);
} else{
echo "<p class='lead'><em>No data.</em></p>";
}
echo "</table>";
} else{
echo "ERROR: Could not able to execute
$sql. " . mysqli_error($link);
}
// Close connection
mysqli_close($db);
?>
<script>
$('#example').on('click', 'tbody .edit_btn', function () {
var $row = $(this).closest("tr"), // Finds the closest row <tr>
$tds = $row.find("td"); // Finds all children <td> elements
$.each($tds, function() { // Visits every single <td> element
console.log($(this).text()); // Prints out the text within the <td>
});
});
</script>
