PHP Table - Different Hyperlink on each row - php

Question

What I am trying to do is get it so there is a different hyper link address for each row echoed. Code is below:
echo "<table border='1' cellpadding='10'>";
echo "<tr> <th>Product Name</th> <th>Product Description</th> <th>Product Price</th> <th>Product Image</th> <th>View Product Details</th></tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
echo "<tr>";
echo '<td>' . $row['Product_Name'] . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $row['Product_Description'] . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $row['Product_Price'] . '</td>';
echo '<td>Picture Enlarge</td>';
echo '<td>View Details</td>';
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";

Answer 1

You can put php variables inline in your echo'ed anchors just as you are doing with the other variables.
Assuming that you're using the id field in your database you can do this:
echo '<td>View Details</td>';
If you echo a php variable (e.g. $row['id']) then it will echo out to HTML (not necessarily text). So as this one is contained in an anchor tag (in the HTML) it echos to the anchor tag and builds the id part. :)

Answer 2

<table border='1' cellpadding='10'>
<tr>
<th>Product Name</th>
<th>Product Description</th>
<th>Product Price</th>
<th>Product Image</th>
<th>View Product Details</th>
</tr>
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
<tr>
<td> <?php echo $row['Product_Name']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['Product_Description']; ?></td>
<td><?php $row['Product_Price']; ?></td>
<td>Picture Enlarge</td>
<td>View Details</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
I would probably go for something like that. This assumes that your table returns a unique id, from something like an auto incremented column.
This doesn't include any escaping so could be vulnerable to exploitation. I would also look into templating. It may help you with your presentation, makes it a little easier to read the mixed html and php.

"<td align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"><<") . "</td>\n"
