Passing Form Data to separate PHP Page - php

Question

I have a table with multiple columns (index.php). One column is a checkbox. Whenever the checkbox is checked, it displays another row where you can select a quantity. You can then hit a button called "Add to Order" and it will take you to a confirmation page (index-order.php) where I want it to display each row along with all of the data in that specified row that has the checkbox checked. Currently, I am getting no errors in my console, but no data is being displayed at all.
What do I need to change to make this happen? Here is what I have so far.
Index.php code:
<form name="form1" method="POST" action="index-order.php">
<section id="addToOrder">
<button type="submit" class="order" id="order" name="order" value="AddToOrder">Add to Order</button>
</section>
<br>
<div id="my-div2" class="ui-widget">
<div class="ui-widget">
<table id="merchTable" cellspacing="5" class="sortable">
<thead>
<tr class="ui-widget-header">
<th class="sorttable_nosort"></th>
<th class="sorttable_nosort">Loc</th>
<th class="merchRow">Report Code</th>
<th class="merchRow">SKU</th>
<th class="merchRow">Special ID</th>
<th class="merchRow">Description</th>
<th class="merchRow">Quantity</th>
<th class="sorttable_nosort">Unit</th>
<th style="display: none;" class="num">Quantity #</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php foreach ($dbh->query($query) as $row) {?>
<tr>
<td class="ui-widget-content"><input type="checkbox" class="check" name="check"></td>
<td name="rows[0][0][loc]" class="loc ui-widget-content" id="loc-<?php echo intval ($row['Loc'])?>"><?php echo $row['Loc'];?></td>
<td name="rows[0][0][rp-code]" class="rp-code ui-widget-content" align="center" id="rp-code-<?php echo intval ($row['Rp-Code'])?>"><?php echo $row['Rp-Code'];?></td>
<td name="rows[0][0][sku]" class="sku ui-widget-content" id="sku-<?php echo intval ($row['SKU'])?>"><?php echo $row['SKU'];?></td>
<td name="rows[0][0][special-id]" class="special-id ui-widget-content" align="center" id="special-id-<?php echo intval ($row['Special-ID'])?>"><?php echo $row['Special-ID'];?></td>
<td name="rows[0][0][description]" class="description ui-widget-content" id="description-<?php echo intval ($row['Description'])?>"><?php echo $row['Description'];?></td>
<td name="rows[0][0][quantity]" class="quantity ui-widget-content" data-quantity="<?php echo $row['Quantity'] ?>" align="center" id="quantity-<?php echo intval ($row['Quantity'])?>"><?php echo $row['Quantity'];?></td>
<td name="rows[0][0][unit]" class="unit ui-widget-content" id="unit-<?php echo intval ($row['Unit'])?>"><?php echo $row['Unit'];?></td>
<td name="rows[0][0][quant]" style="display: none;" class="quantity_num ui-widget-content"><input type="textbox" style="width: 100px;" class="spinner" name="value" id="test"></td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Index-order.php:
<?php if(isset($_POST['rows'])): ?>
<table cellspacing="20">
<tr align="center">
<th>Loc</th>
<th>Report Code</th>
<th>SKU</th>
<th>Special ID</th>
<th>Description</th>
<th>Quantity</th>
<th>Unit</th>
<th>Quantity #</th>
</tr>
<?php
foreach($_POST['rows'][0] as $row):
?>
<tr align="center">
<td><?php echo $row['loc']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['rp-code']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['sku']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['special-id']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['description']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['quantity']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['unit']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['quant']; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php
endforeach;

Answer 1

I am okay with the precedent answer, I never heard about this kind of method with PHP and it doesn't seems to be the right solution. Anyway, the following post would maybe help you : How to get value from td's via $_POST.
You cannot transfer datas through POST by using td ; but an alternative would be to use the "hidden" type of forms element :
<form action="script.php" method="post">
<td class=".."><input type="hidden" name="td1" value="...">value</td>
...
</form>
In PHP, you'll grab the data with the $_POST array and the td1 name :
<?php var_dump($_POST); ?>
Itwould in my opinion be the easier way to get what you want in a proper way ; the link I gave upper is also talking about DOMDocument, but it looks more complex to manage with.
