Can Only Post First Result Of While Loop

I am using a while loop to display results from a query. The while loop is working fine. In hidden fields I would like to post the values of userID and accessID to the user details

Solution 1:

you are generating multiple <form>s inside loop, move your <form> outside while loop, like:

<formmethod="post"action="edit_user.php"id="userForm"><?phpwhile($row = $result->fetch_array()) { ?><tr><td><ahref="#"><?phpecho$row['firstname'].' '.$row['surname']; ?></a><inputtype="hidden"name="userID[]"value="<?phpecho$row['userID']; ?>" /><inputtype="hidden"name="accessID[]"value="<?phpecho$row['accessID']; ?>" /></td></tr><?php } ?><ahref="#"onclick="return submitForm();">Submit</a></form>

Solution 2:

You're running into trouble because of this line

var form = document.getElementById("userForm");

In Javascript and HTML, an ID is supposed to be unique to a certain DOM element. In this case, you've got a whole load of form tags that have the same ID. You need to give each form a different ID, and then pass that ID to the submitForm function.

For example:

<?php$id = 0;
while($row = $result->fetch_array()) { ?>
    $id++;
    <formmethod="post"action="edit_user.php"id="<?phpecho"userForm".$id?>"><tr><td><ahref="#"onclick="return(submitForm("<?phpecho"userForm".$id?>"))"><?phpecho$row['firstname'].' '.$row['surname']; ?></a><inputtype="hidden"name="userID"value="<?phpecho$row['userID']; ?>" /><inputtype="hidden"name="accessID"value="<?phpecho$row['accessID']; ?>" /></td></tr></form><?php } ?>

and then

functionsubmitForm(id) {
    var form = document.getElementById(id);
    form.submit();
}

edit: how do I php? :D
