Hi friends;

Table has many rows.

Likewise i need to select the data on clicking the button.

How can i do this.

            <td align="center"><?php echo $vals[1]; ?></td>
			<td align="center"><?php echo $vals[2]; ?></td>
			<td align="center"><input name="orginfo" type="submit" id="orginfo" value="." onclick="javascript:<?php $orgbuttonid = $vals[0];?> "/></td>

Why not just make the value of the submit button the value you want ($vals[0] ?)

yes i need the data in the first column its $val[0]. but now wen i click a particular row's button i get the data in the last row of that table. i didnt get that exact column in the selected row. how can i access that.

Try this... ONCE if posssibleee

<?php
foreach($details as $vals)
{
?>
<tr>
<form action="" method="post">
<td align="center"><div style="display:inline" id="fstDiv<?php echo $cnt;?>"><?php echo $vals[0]; ?></div></td>
<td align="center"><?php echo $vals[1]; ?></td>
<td align="center"><?php echo $vals[2]; ?></td>
<td align="center"><input name="orginfo" type="submit" id="orginfo" value="." onclick="javascript:<?php $orgbuttonid = $vals[0];?> "/></td>
<?php
}//foreach ends here.
?>

onclick call a javascript function and pass the value of the div tag i.e fstDiv$cnt. Note u need to declare a $cnt variable also and need to increase its count...

In that java script function get the value with in the DIV tag using document.getElementById('id').value..

Hope this will solve you problem....

You missed my point completely.... In the "value" of the submit button, put $vals[0]...

<?php
foreach($details as $vals)
{
?>
          <tr>
          <form action="" method="post">
            <td align="center"><?php echo $vals[0]; ?></td>
            <td align="center"><?php echo $vals[1]; ?></td>
            <td align="center"><?php echo $vals[2]; ?></td>
            <td align="center"><input name="orginfo" type="submit" id="orginfo" value="<?php echo $vals[0]; ?>" /></td>
           </form>
           </tr>
            <?php
}//foreach ends here.
?>

Then, each time any submit button is pressed, the value of the post array key "orginfo" is the value of $vals[0]. Then you don't even need the javascript call (which is nothing anyway...).

Then in you php file, just do whatever based upon the value of $_POST['orginfo'].

Not to mention that you could just properly close the <form> and <tr> it would work too 😉
