Basically, I have an indefinite number of buttons that I want to generate from variables held in the mysql database.
$stmt = $conn->prepare('SELECT * FROM array'); $stmt->execute(); $array = $stmt->fetchAll(); foreach ($array as $var) { echo '<br>Would you like to accept or reject?'; echo '<br><input name="accept' . $var['subject'] . '" type="submit" value="Accept" /><input name="reject' . $var['subject'] . '" type="submit" value="Reject" />'; }
Now when I try to press the buttons nothing happens. This is the code I thought might work for that:
foreach ($array as $var) { $accept = 'accept' . $var['subject']; $reject = 'reject' . $var['subject']; if (isset($_POST[$accept])) { //script for accept } if (isset($_POST[$reject])) { //script for reject } }
There are no errors. I think it’s because I can’t use isset inside a foreach this way. Is there some other efficient way of doing what I am trying to do here?

The reason I was getting this error was because I forgot to use <form> tags in the html file.
