ANSWERED: Form is updating database correctly - php

Question

This code now works to update each row of data individually if submit button is clicked.
Original issue was that I could not get each record updated individually and it was updating ALL rows instead of just the one matching the ID I wanted.
CONNECTIONS STUFF
<form method='post'>";
$query="SELECT * FROM table WHERE approved='no'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
$count = mysql_num_rows($result);
echo "<p>$count pending approval.</p>";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
$id=$row['id'];
$name = $row['name'];
$extra = $row['extra'];
echo "
<table>
<tr>
<td>ID:</td>
<td>$id <input type='hidden' name='id[]' value='$id'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Name:</td>
<td>$name <input type='hidden' name='name[]' value='$name'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Extra:</td>
<td>$extra <input type='hidden' name='extra[]' value='$extra'></td>
</tr>
<tr colspan='2'>
<td>
<center><input name='submit' type='submit' value='Approve'></form></center>
</td>
</tr>
</table><br>
";}
if($_POST['submit']) {
$update = "UPDATE table SET approved='yes' WHERE id='$id' LIMIT 1";
if(mysql_query($update)) $count++;
else die("Error in query:<br>$sql<br>");
echo "<p><b>$name has been approved</b></p>";
}
?>

Answer 1

You have to move your update statement outside the while (($i < $num)) {...}.
Currently, that's inside the loop...

Answer 2

You are looping over each row, and then checking if the submit button was clicked, and if so updating the row.
The issue is that you dont identify which button was clicked and so each row is updated when any button is pressed. Try this:
if (isset($_POST['accepted']) && isset($_POST['id']) && $_POST['id'] == $id)
This will check to see if the submited form corresponds to the current row

Answer 3

The fault is in here:
...
<?php
if (isset($_POST['accepted'])) {
$query_update = "UPDATE mytable SET accepted='yes' WHERE id ='$id'";
$result_update=mysql_query($query_update);}
$i++;
}
mysql_close();
?>
....
$i is the run vairable to iterate over ALL rows. it only gets incremented when $_POST['accepted'] is set. And in this particular case, it's generateing an update for each and evry single row with an $id which has come from the databse instead of the current POST.
Thus: all records will be updated.
Modfify:
...
<?php
if (isset($_POST['accepted']) && isset($_POST['id']) ) {
$updateId = $_POST['id'];
$query_update = "UPDATE mytable SET accepted='yes' WHERE id ='$updateId '";
$result_update=mysql_query($query_update);
mysql_close();
}
$i++;
?>
....
