I'm trying to update the status to 'Approved' from pending by clicking the update button. However when i click on the button it does not respond and change the status. But if I hardcode the ID, the status is able to update. How do I get the ID capture from the database and update the status once click on the button?
//edit1.php:
<?php
$con= mysqli_connect('127.0.0.1','root','');
if(!$con)
{
echo 'Not Connected To Server';
}
if(!mysqli_select_db($con,'satsform1'))
{
echo 'Database Not Selected';
}
$ID = 'ID';
$sql = "update handover set status= 'Approved' where ID = '$ID'";
if(!mysqli_query($con,$sql))
{
echo 'Not Submitted';
}
else
{
echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0;url=index3.php'>";
}
?>
<?php
//fetch3.php
$connect = mysqli_connect('127.0.0.1','root','', 'satsform1');
$output = '';
if(isset($_POST["query"]))
{
$search = mysqli_real_escape_string($connect, $_POST["query"]);
$query = "
SELECT * FROM handover
WHERE name LIKE '%".$search."%'
OR staffno LIKE '%".$search."%'
OR date LIKE '%".$search."%'
OR email LIKE '%".$search."%'
OR mobno LIKE '%".$search."%'
OR roles LIKE '%".$search."%'
OR location LIKE '%".$search."%'
OR flightno LIKE '%".$search."%'
OR flightdate LIKE '%".$search."%'
OR seatno LIKE '%".$search."%'
OR class LIKE '%".$search."%'
";
}
else
{
$query = "
SELECT * FROM handover ORDER BY ID
";
}
$result = mysqli_query($connect, $query);
if(mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0)
{
$output .= '
<div class="table-responsive">
<table class="table table bordered">
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Staff Name</th>
<th>Staff Number</th>
<th> Status </th>
</tr>
';
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
$output .= '
<tr>
<td>'.$row["ID"].'</td>
<td>'.$row["name"].'</td>
<td>'.$row["staffno"].'</td>
<td>'.$row["status"].'</td>
// this is the update button where use the edit1.php to update the status by ID
<td> <form action="edit1.php" method="GET">
<button type="submit">update </button>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
';
}
echo $output;
}
else
{
echo 'Data Not Found';
}
?>
I expect the output to be able to update the status to 'Approved' into the database after clicking the update button.
