"<br>" . mysqli_error($link); }
how do I pass in value from selected option from to insert query in this code here. i have using row[] but the value is not passing on in the from to my insert query when I selected. in past i have tried POST[‘id’] but it select the same value as the id before.

Answer
Try changing line
echo "<option value=".$row['id']."name='product' >".$row['name']."</option>";
to
echo "<option value=".$row['id'].">".$row['name']."</option>"
$row[‘product’] doesn’t exist – try changing the beginning of your php code to
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { $id = $_POST['id']; $product = $_POST['product']; ...
