I want to make that row a link, but I dont know how to add an a href attribute... That row shows information from a DB and I just want to make ir clickeable and not only as plain text. Thank you
This is the row I wanna turn into a link...
echo '<td>' . $row['nombre'] . '</td>';
Wrap the text in an anchor (a) tag.
echo '<td>' . $row['nombre'] . '</td>';
You should also probably take a look at the W3schools HTML5 tutorial.
Just add the <a> to your HTML, and include the URL in it.
echo "<td><a href='script.php?id={$row['nombre']}'>{$row['nombre']}</a></td>";
echo "<td>
<a href='yourfile.php?subDom=$row['nombre']'</a>
</td>";
Then you can check for if link is clicked, you can trigger action for click. Like below:
if($_GET['whateverComingFromDB'] == "whatDoYouWantToCompare"){
//...Anything you want to happen after click the link
}

I'm populating an html table with data from MySQL DB and I want to add a mailto function on the click of one of the columns. Problem is when I do it, the column is blank, but when I inspect it in the browser it shows up in the inspect panel.
My Code:
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>".$row['Property_ID']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row['House_Number']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row['Street_Address']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row['Postal_Code']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row['City']."</td>";
echo "<td>"."<a href='mailto:".$row['Submitted_By']."'></a>"."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row['Date_Submitted']."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
What the browser shows:
On inspection:
You <a> tag is empty, that's why you don't see your link.
You have to add your text inside <a> and </a>:
echo "<td>"
. "<a href='mailto:".$row['Submitted_By']."'>".$row['Submitted_By']."</a>"
. "</td>";
echo "<td>"."<a href='mailto:".$row['Submitted_By']."'>".$row['Submitted_By']."</a>"."</td>";
this line should be exactly like this.
I know it's very easy to get the text value of a link using jQuery.
But Isn't it possible to get the text value using only PHP? Please have a look at my code:
echo '<table>'
foreach($array['data']['results']['titles'] as $data) {
$title = $data['title'];
$id= $data['id'];
$url = $data['url'];
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>' . ''.$title.'' . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . '<a href= ' .$url . ' target="_blank" >IMDb Link</a>' . '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
This picture shows the output of my code
Suppose the user clicked on the Third movie - Batman: The Animated Series. How do I make my movie.php page look like this -- (image below)
The Link Text (which is $title) should be passed to the movie.php page and also the IMDb Link of the corresponding movie (which is stored in the $url variable)
The Only way I know is using $_SESSION but it won't work in this case as it will only store & pass the last value of the foreach loop
Please help me in this regard. Thanks :)
Considering $id as the row ID for the particular movie from the Database. You can use url encoding over here. Your code must be
echo '<td>' . ''.$title.'' . '</td>';
When clicked your URL will look something like.
movie.php?id=3
On your movie.php file use $id = urldecode($_GET['id']); to get the movie ID and you can fetch the relevant data from the DB again.
Let me know if you have any issues.
Try sending all info with Proper Primary key OR here is runtime solution
echo '<td>' . ''.$title.'' . '</td>';
Don't forget to urlencode the variables
each link should contain the unique filed like $id so your url should be echo '<td>' . ''.$title.'' . '</td>';
You can pass the encoded value of $id so end user cannot guess the value.In movie.php you decode the $id& show information on the basis of $id
I want my hyperlinks destination to be filled by a value from my database. However, when I click the link in my app it doesn't clear the "http://localhost/videoStorageApp/" before inserting the URl value from the database.
QUESTION: How do I clear the web browser url so only the URL value form the database is used?
WHAT I AM GETTING: http://localhost/videoStorageApp/'www.sonsofanarchy.tv'
WHAT I WANT: www.sonsofanarchy.tv
CODE:
This is the line that displays the hyperlink in question, if more code is needed please ask and ill add anything else that's needed:
echo '<td> ' . $row['url'] . '</td>';
echo '<td> ' . $row['url'] . '</td>';
You are probably missing "http://" in your href attribute.
<a href="google.com">
... will take you to http://currentsite.com/maybe-a-subfolder/google.com
<a href="http://google.com">
... will take you to http://google.com
I am trying to create a hyperlink from two pieces of text split over two cells in a table row.
I am generating my table using PHP to echo out the results from my database to a table.
When it echo's it generates a hyperlink with GET variables at the end which allow the user to visit a page relevant to that information.
The problem is that I can't seem to generate a hyperlink that will go across those table cells, I have looked around the web and there is nothing that says I cannot do this.
As you can see from the screenshot below I am generating a hyperlink inside one table cell but I want the other table cell to have the same hyperlink.
Code
while ($row = $db->fetch_assoc($newest))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>";
echo "<a href='manager.php?method=view&id=".$row['id']."'>".$row['first_name']." ". $row['second_name']. "</td><td>".$row['company_name']."</a>";
echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
I have a feeling that I will just have to generate two separate hyperlinks for the table cells.
However I am hoping someone here can prove me wrong and save me a few lines of code.
Thanks :)
Using native hyperlinks, you will have to create separate wrappers for each cell.
However, if you want to use JS for linking and redirecting, you could do something like:
.....
<tr class="clickable" data-href="http://google.com">
<td>cell-1</td>
<td>cell-2</td>
<td>cell-3</td>
</tr>
....
and then:
$(function(){
$('tr.clickable').click(function(){
window.location.href = $(this).attr('data-href');
});
});
Simply work around it with JS:
echo "<tr onclick=\"location.href='manager.php?method=view&id=".$info.";'\">";
If you do not want to break the table structure (ie. putting the name and the company into one (multi-column) cell), there is IMHO no way other than generating two hyperlinks.
What you might want to do is to use some CSS for a hover effect and some JavaScript to register a user clicked on a cell (which you can, given the structure above, associate with the tr element).
You can not do it like this. Try instead:
while ($row = $db->fetch_assoc($newest))
{
$url = "manager.php?method=view&id=".$row['id'];
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row['first_name']." ". $row['second_name']. "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['company_name'] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
while ($row = $db->fetch_assoc($newest))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>";
echo "<a href='manager.php?method=view&id=".$row['id']."'>".$row['first_name']." ". $row['second_name']."</a></td><a href='manager.php?method=view&id=".$row['id']."'>".$row['company_name']."</a><td></td>";
echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
So... I have a mysql_fetch_array and I'm running into an issue when some of the mysql data contains single or double quotes. This is the dumbed down version of my code:
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($list)) {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td onclick='edit_form(\"" . $row['item'] . "\");'>" . $row['item'];
echo "</td></tr>";
}
The edit_form() function is used to send the value of the current item back to the value of the input in the form so the user can then easily edit their entry and then sends an UPDATE command to mysql along with the proper primary key id (which I left out because of irrelevancy). The only issue I have is if a user puts single or double quotes into the form then it messes up the onclick attribute. Please help!! I am pretty new to php and can't figure this out. I've messed around with htmlentites() and html_entity_decode() but am still getting no where. Thank you so much!
Use htmlspecialchars on $row['item'] before inserting it in your document.
So your "dumbed-down" code should be:
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($list)) {
$item = htmlspecialchars($row['item']);
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td onclick='edit_form(\"" . $item . "\");'>" . $item;
echo "</td></tr>";
}
Try the below line instead of the original in your code and see if it works:
echo "<td onclick='edit_form(\"" . str_replace('"',""e;",$row['item']) . "\");\">" . $row['item'];
And where you would like to display the $item field, just replace it in reverse if you get "e; instead of ' " '. For example:
$qoute_free= str_replace('"e','"',$passed_value);
If you are using it in javascript, the function can be as below:
function edit_form(passed_value)
{
new_value=passed_value.replace(/"e;/g,'"');
}
I advise using json_encode. That way you don't have to worry about special cases htmlspecialchars might miss (such as newlines).
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($list)) {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td onclick='edit_form(" . json_encode($row['item'], JSON_HEX_APOS) . ");'>" . $row['item'];
echo "</td></tr>";
}
I'm just putting the values back into my <form> (when they click on a <td>) and when they hit SUBMIT it directs the data to a different .php file that uses a MySQL UPDATE instead of an INSERT. I finally found some code that works!
$list is a mysql_query I ran at the top of the document
$item is the title of one of my columns in MySQL
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($list)){
$item = json_encode($row['item']);
$item = str_replace("'","'",$item);
echo "<td onclick='edit_form(" . $item . ");'>" . $row['item'] . "</td>";
}
Now it display's correctly in the <form> when <td> is clicked (by jQuery input.val($item)) and it shows up in the table correctly via $row['item']. I don't really understand exactly how it's working (how the encode is making it work) but I am glad it is. Crazyness!!!! Thanks for responding! and thanks for your effort!!
