Hello so I am having a slight problem at the moment Basically I have a while loop that outputs a table called job from database along with a bid button that links to bid.php. When the button takes me to the page I want it to carry over the jobid of the row that the button was clicked so I can enter the specific value into my database does anyone have any ideas on how to move over currently I am trying to do it using POST but I keep getting errors and the variable dosnt seem to be moving over.I just get a blank page and the id is not displayed.
Here is findjob22.php:
<?php
require 'config.php';
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$valueToSearch = $_POST['valueToSearch'];
// search in all table columns
// using concat mysql function
$query = "SELECT * FROM `job` WHERE CONCAT(`job_id`,`location`, `description`, `budget`, `duedate`,`title`) LIKE '%".$valueToSearch."%'";
$search_result = filterTable($query);
}
else {
$query = "SELECT * FROM `job`";
$search_result = filterTable($query);
}
// function to connect and execute the query
function filterTable($query)
{
$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "bid4myjob");
$filter_Result = mysqli_query($conn, $query);
return $filter_Result;
}
?>

Here is bid.php where I am trying to get the specific id of the row from findjob22.php:
<?php
// include "job.php"
$jobid = $_POST['job_id'];
echo "$jobid"
?>
