I am making a page with soccer teams and leauges. Now i`m printing all Leagues that i want from the database.
League 1
League 2
League 3
etc.
As you can see each League has its own League_ID. In Database i also have a table of all teams, and each team has matched League (with League_ID). I also have a view, where i can print table of League that i want. This function in php looks like this.
public function leauge_table(){
$tables = $this->scoreTableRepository
->getScoreTable(1);
//TODO how to change this "1" static to generated
//TODO when pressing link
return $this->render('leauge_table', ['table' => $tables]);
And as you can see, when i go to this page i will always see the score table from leauge that has id=1.
And the question is how can i make that when i press for example at "League 2" i will open page but with table matching to League_ID = 2. Shall it be <button></button> or <a></a> in HTML. And how to pass there League_ID so my php back will see which table should render.
Thank you really for help.
PS Or maybe do i have to make a seperate view for each leauge score table? And then just simply make buttons direct to these views with simple JS code. But would like to avoid it if it`s possible.
In your SoccerTeam page add a button in a form with the following :
<form action="youpage.php" method="post">
<input name="leagueId" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $leagueId;?>" >
</form>
And in order to process that information, since we passed an id, we can retrieve it with $_POST['leagueId'] and because it's a POST request it wont be visible in the url:
$leagueId = $_POST['leagueId'];
It can be a link or a button. A link with the league ID as a parameter in the URL is the simplest approach though, if you're new to the concept. e.g.
<a href="showleague.php?id=1">League 1</a>
The ID would then be available in the php script via $_GET["id], once the link is clicked.
