hi guys, i have 2 tables - tblproduct and tblretprod.
i insert my product details to tbl product with prod_id being auto increment
other fields are prod_name, prod_brand, prod_desc, prod_photo, cat, subcat

i hv another table tblretprod with fields id, user_id, prod_id, prod_price

i can add my products successfully

i am displaying all the products i added in a table i echo along with a textfield to enter the product price and an add button

on clicking the add button, user_id for the session, prod_id and prod_price should be inserted in the tblretprod

user_id and prod_price are being inserted correctly, but the prod_id which is unique to each product is not being added. only the first prod_id i.e 1 is being added everywhere

here are my codes to add the product when i click on add

<?php

session_start();

include('db_connect.php');

$username = $_SESSION['username'];

$prod_price = $_POST['prod_price'];

$url='retprod.php';

$sql=mysql_query("select user_id from tbllogin where username = '$username'");

$row = mysql_fetch_array($sql);

$sql1 = mysql_query("select * from tblproduct where prod_id='$prod_id'");

$row1 = mysql_fetch_array($sql1);

$sql2 = mysql_query("insert into tblretprod (user_id, prod_id, prod_price) values ('$row[user_id]', '$row1[prod_id]', '$prod_price')");


    echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL='.$url.'">';
    echo "<script>alert('This product has been added successfully.')</script>";

?>

The key info here is the product ID which is supposed to be stored in $_prod_id. But where do you get the value of $prod_id from (you use it in the query on line 17)?

the prod_id is stored in tblproduct
each product i am displaying in the table echoed have their respective prod_id
on clicking on the add button, all products are being added with prod_id = 1
i dnt know why

On line 17 you have a query:

$sql1 = mysql_query("select * from tblproduct where prod_id='$prod_id'");

The $prod_id that you are using in the query has not ben defined anywhere before.

I think the $prod_id should be assigned from POST. It should get into POST through a hidden field or through the add button.

if you dnt mind, how can i do that please?

earlier i tried to write in this code

$prod_price=$_POST['prod_price'];

this did not work...

any help please...

The $prod_id that you are using in the query has not ben defined anywhere before.

Where is the product ID coming from?

Can you post the code of the previous page (the one with the table that triggers insertion).

<?php

session_start();

include('db_connect.php');

$sql = mysql_query("select * from tblproduct");

$num = mysql_num_rows($sql);

if($num>0){

echo "<center><table bgcolor='grey' width='80%' border=0>";

echo "<tr bgcolor='#CCCCCC'>";
echo "<td><b><center>Product</td>";
echo "<td><b><center>Name</td>";
echo "<td><b><center>Brand</td>";
echo "<td><b><center>Price</td>";
echo "</tr>";

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql)){
     extract($row); 

     echo "<tr>";
     echo '<td style="text-align:center;"><img height="100" width="100" src="Images/Products/'.$row['prod_photo'].'"/></td>';
      echo "<td style='text-align: center;'>".$row['prod_name']."</td>";
      echo "<td style='text-align: center;'>".$row['prod_brand']."</td>";
      echo "<td>"."<form name=\"price\" method=\"post\" action=\"ret_addprod.php\">".
        "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"prod_id\" value=".$row['prod_id']." />".
        "<input type=\"text\" name=\"prod_price\" />".
        "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Add\" /></form>"."</td>";

}
echo "</table>";
}

else{
    echo "No products found.";
}

?>

as requested please find below where the products from tblproduct are echoed along with a textfield and an add button

i sorted it out with below code

<?php

session_start(); 


include('db_connect.php'); 

$username = $_SESSION['username']; 

$prod_price = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['prod_price']); 

$prod_id = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['prod_id']);

$url = 'retprod.php'; 

$user = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("select user_id from tbllogin where username = '{$username}'"));

$insert = mysql_query("insert into tblretprod (user_id, prod_id, prod_price) values ('{$user['user_id']}', '{$prod_id}', '{$prod_price}')"); 

if($insert){

     $_SESSION['INSERTSUCCESS'] = true;

}
else{

     $_SESSION['INSERTSUCCESS'] = false;

}

    echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL='.$url.'">';
    echo "<script>alert('This product has been added successfully.')</script>";
