I have a table generated from some PHP code that lists a SMALL amount of important
information for employees. I want to make it so each row, or at least one element in each row can be clicked on so the user will be redirected to ALL of the
information (pulled from MySQL database) related to the employee who was clicked on. I am not sure how would be the best way to go about this, but I am open to suggestions. I would like to stick to PHP and/or JavaScript. Below is the code for my table:
<table>
<tr>
<td id="content_heading" width="25px">ID</td>
<td id="content_heading" width="150px">Last Name</td>
<td id="content_heading" width="150px">First Name</td>
<td id="content_heading" width="75px">SSN</td>
</tr>
<?php
$user = 'user';
$pass = 'pass';
$server = 'localhost';
$link = mysql_connect($server, $user, $pass);
if (!$link){
die('Could not connect to database!' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db('mydb', $link);
$query = "SELECT * FROM employees";
$result = mysql_query($query);
mysql_close($link);
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);
for ($i = 0; $i < $num; $i++){
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$class = (($i % 2) == 0) ? "table_odd_row" : "table_even_row";
echo "<tr class=".$class.">";
echo "<td>".$row[id]."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row[l_name]."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row[f_name]."</td>";
echo "<td>".$row[ssn]."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
?>
</table>
