Hi, I have a following code that creates a edit button and on clicking it, edit form populates into different page. I did it by using js. But if I want to avoid it, Is there any way I can do it ? Can anyone help me out ?

Here is the code :

echo "<th><input type=\"button\" name=\"Editcat\" value=\"Edit\">";

Thanks in advance,.

I'm confused. Where's the code? Btw, use [ code] [ /code] next time.

Sorry,
this is the code :

<table>

<tr>

<th>SubcategoryId</th>
<th>CategoryId</th>
<th>SubcategoryName</th>
<th colspan="2">Action</th>
</tr>
<?php foreach($result->result_array() as $SubCat_data):?>
<tr>
<th><?=$SubCat_data['SubCategoryId'];?></th>
<th><?=$SubCat_data['CategoryId'];?></th>
<th><?=$SubCat_data['SubCategoryName'];?></th>

<?php
$subcatid=$SubCat_data['SubCategoryId'];
$catid=$SubCat_data['CategoryId'];
$catname=$SubCat_data['SubCategoryName'];

?>

<?php

echo "<th><input type=\"button\" name=\"EditSubcat\" value=\"Edit\">";
echo "<input type=\"button\" name=\"DelSubcat\" value=\"Delete\"></th>";
?>

</tr>
<?php endforeach;?>

</table>

Once I click a "Edit" button, the control should go to the function "EditSubcat" in the controller and I should be able to view the form called "Edit form".

Thank you

If you intend to you the button, you should have a form tag

Code:
&lt;?php echo form_open('your/uri/string/to/edit/the_id'); ?&gt;

echo “<th>&lt;input type=\“button\” name=\“EditSubcat\” value=\“Edit\”&gt;”;

&lt;?php echo form_close(); ?&gt;

you can also use a hidden input for storing the id you want to edit.

Code:
&lt;?php echo form_open('your/uri/string/to/edit'); ?&gt;

echo “<th>&lt;input type=\“button\” name=\“EditSubcat\” value=\“Edit\”&gt;”;

echo “<th>&lt;input type=\“hidden\” name=\“me\” value=\“id\”&gt;”;

&lt;?php echo form_close(); ?&gt;

Is there some reason you aren't posting the form via a submit button? That would be the simplest method...

I used form_open and submit method, passed the uri and job is done.

Thanks again
