QR Code generate using PHP MYSQl by fetching data from database row by row

[AsjadAli]

Hello Experts!
I am stuck here while generating QR Code using php sql. Basically I am generating code for students using their ids and other information while fetching data from database. But the problem is that when i click on submit button so that table data store in QR Code, then it only generate the QR Code of of only last one student. For Example if i have 6 students, it only generate the qr code of student whose id is 6.
Code is here:

<?php
include('qrlib.php'); 
    function getUsernameFromEmail($student_id) {
        $find = '@';
        $pos = strpos($student_id, $find);
        $username = substr($student_id, 0, $pos);
        return $username;
    }
    if(isset($_POST['submit']) ) {
        $tempDir = 'temp/'; 
        $student_id = $_POST['student_id'];
        $fname =  $_POST['fname'];
        $filename = getUsernameFromEmail($student_id);

        $codeContents = 'mailto:'.$student_id.'?id='.urlencode($student_id).'&fname='.urlencode($fname); 
        QRcode::png($codeContents, $tempDir.''.$filename.'.png', QR_ECLEVEL_L, 5);
    }
?>

You are duplicating HTML fields instead of setting them up as an array:

<td><input type="text" value="<?php echo $row['student_id']; ?>" name="student_id" ></td>
<td><input type="text" value="<?php echo $row['fname']; ?>" name="fname" >

Try this:

 <td><input type="text" value="<?php echo $row['student_id']; ?>" name="student_id[]" ></td>
 <td><input type="text" value="<?php echo $row['fname']; ?>" name="fname[]" >

But then unfortunately, you only deal with ONE sent ID in your handling code:

if(isset($_POST['submit']) ) {
    $tempDir = 'temp/'; 
    $student_id = $_POST['student_id']; //this is a single item
    $fname =  $_POST['fname']; //single item
    $filename = getUsernameFromEmail($student_id); 
    $codeContents = 'mailto:'.$student_id.'?id='.urlencode($student_id).'&fname='.urlencode($fname); 
    QRcode::png($codeContents, $tempDir.''.$filename.'.png', QR_ECLEVEL_L, 5);
}

In order to deal with an array of values, you need to use a loop (foreach or for or while) to iterate over each one. Alternatively, perhaps you could use some snazzy array functions, but these tend to take more processing than dealing with a simple loop.
