I want to update a sql table based on which button was pushed from the corresponding row. Here is my table and sql query.
$STH10=$DBH->query(' SELECT * FROM equiplog'); print"<table>"; print"<form action='equipmentcalendar.pl' method='post'>"; while (@data = $STH10->fetchrow_array()) { print "<tr>"; print "<td>$_</td>" for @data[1,2,3]; print "<td>"; print '<center>'; print button( -name => 'returned', -value => $data[0], -label => 'returned' ); print '<center>'; print "</td>"; print "</tr>"; } print"</table>";
So when I push the returned button i would like a sql statement to update that row in my sql table. I dont really understand CGI that well and could use some help.
