Store name and value of a Button in a mysql table row
Question
I've been hanging on this problem for 3 days and just can't solve it. It seems relatively simple, but unfortunately, I can't do it, because I'm a noob.
I would like to use the button's onclick function to get its 2 pieces of information
```html
<input id="'.$row['id'].'" type="button" value="Pause" name="'.$row['name'].'" onclick="pushDataToDB()">```
- name = "'. $ row [' name '].'" [the name reference from a database table]
- and value="Pause"
this two informations i would like to store in some other database table. I have tried to solve this problem in different ways.
I have tried to store in different ways the event.target.name & event.target.event javascript output in PHP Variables and then use it in the mysql insert line but i failed.
I have tried to post the value to the ajax.php then store the value in a PHP variable and use this as Value to push it to the database, but this also doesn't work
index.php <?php
include_once ('dbh.php');
if(isset($_POST['name'])){
$sqlAufPause = "INSERT INTO aktuellaufpause (name, pausenart) VALUES ('$name', 'BP')";
}
if ($conn->query($sqlAufPause) === TRUE) {
echo "New record created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
}
?>
function pushDataToDB() { $.get("ajax.php"); return false; } <?php include_once ('dbh.php'); if(isset($_POST['name'])){ $sqlAufPause = "INSERT INTO aktuellaufpause (name, pausenart) VALUES ('$name', 'BP')"; } if ($conn->query($sqlAufPause) === TRUE) { echo "New record created successfully"; } else { echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error; } ?>I would say this is the reason, why the name Value is empty, but i don't know how to fix ist..

You can use JQuery + AJAX to perform asynchronous POST
<?php
$con = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "testdb");
$query = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE id = 1");
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($query);
print_r($row);
?>

$.ajax({

data: {
"name": name,

},
success: function(e) {
if (e == "1") {
alert("Success!");
} else {
alert("error!");
}
}
});
}
</script>
</html>
ajax.php
<?php
$con = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "testdb");
$name = $_POST['name'];
$value = $_POST['value'];
$query = "INSERT INTO mytable(name, value) values('$name','$value')";
$result = mysqli_query($con, $query);
if ($result) {
echo "1";
} else {
echo "Error!";
}
EDITTTT****
I changed
var name = "<?php echo $row['id'] ?>";
to
var name = "<?php echo $row['name'] ?>";
since it is the "name" you want stored in the database

I solved the problem this way. Thank you so much!!!
index.php
<?php
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `DB-TABLENAME` ORDER BY `VALUE1`, `VALUE2`";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>";
echo '<input style="margin: 0 auto 6px 17px;" type="checkbox" id="scales" name="scales">';
echo "</td>";
echo "<td>";
echo $row['VALUE1'];
echo "</td>";
echo "<td>";
echo $row['VALUE2'];
echo "</td>";
echo "<td>";
echo '<div class="button1">
<input id="'.$row['id'].'" type="button" value="BP" name="'.$row['VALUE2'].'" onclick="pushDataToDB()">
</div>';
echo "</td>";
echo "<td>";
echo '<div class="button2">
<form id="frm">
<input id="'.$row['id'].'" type="button" value="Mittagspause" name="'.$row['name'].'" onclick="pushDataToDB()">
</form>
</div>';
echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
} else {
echo "there are no comments";
}?>
<script type="text/javascript">
function pushDataToDB() {
var name = event.target.name;
var value = event.target.value;
$.ajax({
url: "ajax.php",
type: "POST",
data: {
"name": name,
"value": value
},
success: function(e) {
if (e == "1") {
alert("Success!");
} else {
alert("error!");
}
}
});
}
</script>
ajax.php
<?php
include_once('dbconnectioncredentials.php');
$con = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
$name = $_POST['VALUE1'];
$value = $_POST['VALUE2'];
$query = "INSERT INTO aktuellaufpause (VALUE1, VALUE2) VALUES ('$name','$value')";
$result = mysqli_query($con, $query);
if ($result) {
echo "1";
} else {
