How to add new rows in a html page using PHP?

rein

Hi,

Now I want to add a new row to a table, i.e, when I press the "Add" button, a new empty row will be shown under the current row. If I press the "Delete" button, a certain row will be deleted. But I don't know how to do that. Can anyone help me? I am craszy about the GUI now.

Thanks,

Rein

this is a javascript issue, not php.

I think I can add code in PHP(like server side), then add them to the html, right?

i wouldn't attempt it. much easier in javascript.

I think Thorpe is correct. There are a ton of great JavaScripts on the web. And here is one of the easiest ones to use:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function expandCollapse() {
	for (var i=0; i<expandCollapse. arguments.length; i++) {
	var element = document.getElementById(expandCollapse.arguments[i]);
	element.style.display = (element.style.display == "none") ? "block" : "none";
	}
}
//-->
</script>
<div id="on">
<a href="javascript: expandCollapse('expand', 'on');">Expand Layer</a>
</div>
<div id="expand" style="display: none;">
<a href="javascript: expandCollapse('expand', 'on');">Collapse Layer</a>

I am, however curious. From where do you want to pull the information into your table? From a file? From a database?

Or, do you just want to be able to show/hide layers of information as in the example above? Please elaborate a little if you care to.

Maybe you could change the funtion foreach() to show as many echo funtions showing rows as you want.

you could also use $_GET along the thing u wanna do for example if u acces the site and the header says htpp://..../form.php?row=1 , u could use this as a way to tell php to echo only one row, then if the user clicks on add row, then just put some code to add +1 to the header so it would be something like htpp://..../form.php?row=2, and this would tell php to show 2 rows.

Ifve got the idea about how to doit , but i dont know the code at all.
