i have this code to select some info from database to ul and open it in new window by id , the problem here is the same row open in the new window even i clicked in another title , i just want if user click in title will open new window with the info from the same row in database and if user click another title will open another window withe info from the same row :
<div class="col l6 offest-13">
<?php
$sql = "SELECT * FROM post";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
if(mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0){
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){
?>
<ul class="collection" >
<li class="collection-item" >
<h3><a id="a" value="submit" name="submit" href="" ><?php echo
$row['title'];?></a></h3>
<span class="grey-text">by <?php echo $row['author'];?> on <?php echo
$row['publish_date'];?></span>
<br>
<button class="button" id="submit" name="submit" value="submit"><span
class="s_text">GET COINS</span></button>
<div class="time-views">
<span class="time"><?php echo $row['type'];?>s<i class="material-
icons">access_time</i></span>
<span class="views"><?php echo $row['views'];?><i class="material-
icons">visibility</i></span>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
<script type="text/javascript">
$( "#a" ).click(function(){
window.open("createdb.php?id=<?php echo $row['id'];?>","ASDF") ;
});
</script>
<?php
}
}
?>
</div>
Since you are creating multiple items and assigning id="a" for all of them, it will always open first element, even if you click on second or third etc.
When you are looping through database, you can assign id of that row to link's id like this
`<h3><a id="<?php echo $row['id'];?>" value="submit" name="submit" href="" ><?php echo $row['title'];?></a></h3>`
And then add script
<script>
$( "#<?php echo $row['id']?>" ).click(function(){
window.open("createdb.php?id=<?php echo $row['id'];?>","ASDF") ;
});
<script>
but better way is to put script out of the loop
$('.collection .collection-item h1 a').click(function(){
window.open("createdb.php?id=" + this.id ,"ASDF") ;
});
You dont need to put your script within while loop. It seems that n number of events are created according to the length of the array.
Solution:-
Put your script out of the loop
Add data attribute in the anchor tag and put the id in it (<a data-id="<?php echo $row['id']?>").
Get the clicked elements id ( $(this).data("id") )
and pass createdb.php?id=$(this).data("id")
Use class for click event instead of id because id is unique for every event
