I want to alert the name of the item whose place bid button I will click but my code seems to alert only laptop. Can anyone tell me how to get div values that are dynamically generated through a php script. Below is the code for the page.I want to alert name of that item whose place bid I click on. Since the page is dynamically generated which gets item details from a database containing item details.
<?php
$con = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","*****","bidding") or
die(mysqli_error($con));
$select_query = "select * from items";
$select_query_result = mysqli_query($con, $select_query) or
die("Query Mistake");
?>
