I need help with form

vigour

I need a dynamically built form that have several rows that looks the same.

1 - Each of the rows should have a buy button that takes me to another php document.

2 - Each row should have a textfield with quantity.

When I click on the buy botton I want to read the value in the textfield for the row I'm clicking on.

I have no problems building the form, but I can't read anything from the textfield so I think I'm doing this completely wrong.

Can someone please post some code for me and explain how to do this?

Hi,

Can you explain what you mean by reading from? You say the "buy button" takes you to another page so are you trying to have the textfield data transfer with it?

If so; you would name the fields uniquely and on the page they are linked to use a
$text = $_POST['txtfield_name'};
and to display it,..
echo $text;

Forgive me if that's not what you were getting at.

I know that I can read the field, as in your example. But I don't get any value that way. So what I need help with is how to build the form.

Sorry, I'm just not following you. You can read it but you're not getting a value?

Here's a tutorial for PHP forms, hope it helps.
