Submitting one value of the Hidden input in the current row clicked - php

Question

How to pass one value of the current row of multiple hidden input in PHP. I have the following code:
foreach($portfolio as $portfolio){
echo "<tr class ='table-comments'>";
echo "<td>".$portfolio['portfolio_title']."</td>";
echo "<td class = 'comment-content'>".$portfolio['portfolio_client']."</td>";
echo "<td><a target = '_blank' href = ".$portfolio['portfolio_link'].">".$portfolio['portfolio_link']."</a></td>";
echo "<td>";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='portfolio_id' value='" . $portfolio['portfolio_id'] . "' />";
echo "<input type = 'submit' value = 'Edit'>";
echo "<input type = 'submit' value = 'Move to Trash' class = 'action-button'>";
echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
I also have submit button each row that triggers the form. When I click the submit button, it submits all the value of the row of the hidden input. I only want the clicked button row value.
URL is like this:
/portfolio?portfolio_id=1&portfolio_id=2&portfolio_id=3&portfolio_id=4 and so on
I only want
/portfolio?portfolio_id=3

Answer 1

Have a new form for each row...
<form method="get">
</form>
Like this:
foreach($portfolio as $portfolio){
echo "<tr class ='table-comments'>";
echo "<td>".$portfolio['portfolio_title']."</td>";
echo "<td class = 'comment-content'>".$portfolio['portfolio_client']."</td>";
echo "<td><a target = '_blank' href = ".$portfolio['portfolio_link'].">".$portfolio['portfolio_link']."</a></td>";
echo "<td>";
echo '<form method="get">';
echo "<input type='hidden' name='portfolio_id' value='" . $portfolio['portfolio_id'] . "' />";
echo "<input type = 'submit' value = 'Edit'>";
echo "<input type = 'submit' value = 'Move to Trash' class = 'action-button'>";
echo "</form>";
echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}

Answer 2

If all you're submitting is that ID, and you're using GET instead of POST you might as well not even use forms and use links instead. You can still style a link to look like a button if you want, but using a link would make a lot more sense semantically. Remove the hidden input, and have each link have the URL you want.

Answer 3

The form tag should be included on the looping.
change this
foreach ($portfolio as $portfolio) {
echo "<tr class ='table-comments'>";
echo "<td>".$portfolio['portfolio_title']."</td>";
echo "<td class = 'comment-content'>".$portfolio['portfolio_client']."</td>";
echo "<td><a target = '_blank' href = ".$portfolio['portfolio_link'].">".$portfolio['portfolio_link']."</a></td>";
echo "<td>";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='portfolio_id' value='" . $portfolio['portfolio_id'] . "' />";
echo "<input type = 'submit' value = 'Edit'>";
echo "<input type = 'submit' value = 'Move to Trash' class = 'action-button'>";
echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
to:
foreach ($portfolio as $portfolio) {
echo "<tr class ='table-comments'>";
echo "<td>".$portfolio['portfolio_title']."</td>";
echo "<td class = 'comment-content'>".$portfolio['portfolio_client']."</td>";
echo "<td><a target = '_blank' href = ".$portfolio['portfolio_link'].">".$portfolio['portfolio_link']."</a></td>";
echo "<td>";
echo "<form action='process.php' method='get'>";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='portfolio_id' value='" . $portfolio['portfolio_id'] . "' />";
echo "<input type = 'submit' value = 'Edit'>";
echo "<input type = 'submit' value = 'Move to Trash' class = 'action-button'>";
echo "</form>";
echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
