Hi,

I have a dynamic HTML page with 4 columns of data, retrieved with PHP
from a MySQL database.
At the end of every row I have an UPDATE submit button, which activates
a php update script to update the database. I now encounter the problem
that in the update script I cannot trace back for which row the UPDATE
buttom was pressed.

I first had defined the UPDATE button as : <input name="update"
value="UPDATE" type="submit">. That doesn't work ...
If I change the definition to <input name="update" value=<? echo
"UPDATE".$nt['id']; ?> type="submit">, then I can get the id number in
the update script, but the display is not that good, because you see
UPDATE1, UPDATE7,UPDATE4 and so on ...
So I need something, so I can find back in the update script for which
row the update button was pressed. Each row has his unique id (which is
not shown in the table)

Anyone has a suggestion on how to solve this ?

Thanks in advance.
