Repeat self-processing form

My question is over creating a self-processing form that inserts to a database and then refreshes, incrementing arrays to change relevant info in the form. (though if there is an easier or better way to do this, I'm all ears).
So site is essentially a digital equivalent to an exercise journal. The user selects a template name from a select menu, then it queries the database for that template, then returns the result to a variable. The exercise names and number of sets per exercise (which will be used to calculate maximum number of form refreshes) are passed into their own respective arrays: $exerciseName[]; and $setNum[];
This is a screenshot of the form.
My question is how to go about setting up the logic so that I can keep submitting until the last set of the last exercise, where upon the final submission, would take to a different page.
I am using mysql_ functions, which I know is frowned upon, but it is for school which uses PHP 5.2.12 and that is what my teammates know so I have no other options. I haven't tried to prevent mysql injections because I don't intend to take this version online.
Here is the code for selecting type of workout and workout template:
session_start();
$user = $_SESSION['email'];
//This script
$thisScript = htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
if ($user) {
require("include/connect2db.inc.php");
require("include/htmlHead.inc");
//Default page buttons
$cardioBtn = $_POST['cardioBtn'];
$resistanceBtn = $_POST['resistBtn'];
//Cardio submit
$cardioSubmit = $_POST['cardioSubmit'];
if ((empty($cardioBtn))
&& (empty($resistanceBtn))

You can use PHP_SELF (eg <?php echo htmlentities ($ _ SERVER ['PHP_SELF']); ?>) In the action of the form. See this article which explains why we need htmlentities. This PHP_SELF variable contains the path to the current script.
All the logic you can place where you have, before the template, where you should check the following:
Did happen a page submit?
If yes, check for errors with submitted data.
If there are no errors treats and saves the information. If there are send an array with errors for the template.
If not, nothing to do.
Thus, when there is submission of the form everything will always be submitted on the same page.

how should i put data fetched from ajax call in hidden div box

i am working on a project and come across a module.
page1
user have to search from search bar which will take him to page 2.
page2
On page 2 all fetched results will get displayed to user in div's. Each result has a checkbox associated with it.
when i click on add to compare check box ,ajax call is executed and fetched selected result should appear in hidden div.
my problem is it is only shows first result in hidden div and not working with another result.
My code of page 2
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
var check = $('#compare').val();
$("#compare").change(function() {
if(this.checked) {
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'compare.php',
dataType : 'JSON',
data:{value : check},
success: function(data)
{
console.log(data);
$('#compare_box').html(data);
}
});
$("#compare_box").show();
}
else
{
$("#compare_box").hide();
}
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$query = $_GET['search_bar'];
$query = "call fetch_data('$query')"or die(mysqli_error($conn));
$result = mysqli_query($conn,$query);

{
$id = $row['course_id'];

$index = 0;
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
$title = $row['course_title'];
?>
<?php
}

?>

You can change
<input type ='checkbox' name="compare" id="compare" value="<?php echo $id;?>">
to
<input type ='checkbox' name="compare" class="compare" value="<?php echo $id;?>">
^you can only have one unique 'id' value in your html doc, which means your first id="compare" will work fine and others with id="compare" will be ignored by the DOM tree

AJAX passing value confusion

I was looking for a way to submit data through a button so that the data will be saved or updated in database, without reloading. Now updating and inserting of data works. But I have used dataString a javaScript variable. I thought through this dataString variable post data are passed. But when I removed that variable from my code data insert or update was still working. So how the passing of data working here.
How post method gets the data from my ajax call here.

// output data of each row
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$id = $row["max(id)"];
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
if ($id==$_POST['id']) {
$id = $_POST['id'];
$sql = "update registration set firstName='$fname', lastName='$lname', age=$age where id=$id";
mysqli_query($conn, $sql);

var dataString = "id="+id+ '&fname='+fname+'&lname='+lname+'&age='+age;
//console.log(dataString);
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
data:dataString,
url:'Registration.php',
success:function(data) {
}
});
});
</script>

Your click handler doesn't have e.preventDefault() in it. So after the AJAX call is sent, the form is also submitted normally. So even if you don't fill in dataString, the database will be updated from the form.
To make it only use AJAX, you should call e.preventDefault(). You also need to submit a value for the submit parameter, because the PHP code uses if(isset($_POST['submit'])) to know if it should process the form parameters.
$("#id_submit").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var id = $("#id_id").val();
var fname = $("#id_fname").val();
var lname = $("#id_lname").val();
var age = $("#id_age").val();
var dataString = "submit=submit&id="+id+ '&fname='+fname+'&lname='+lname+'&age='+age;
//console.log(dataString);
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
data:dataString,
url:'Registration.php',
success:function(data) {
}
});
});

In your case, values aren't getting passed. More over, the way you're trying to do ( ?id=...&fname=... etc) would be for passing it with $_GET.
You have to make something similar to :
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
data: { id : $("#id_id").val(),
fname : $("#id_fname").val(),
lname : $("#id_lname").val(),
age : $("#id_age").val()
},
url:'Registration.php',
success:function(data) {
// code
}
});

But when I removed that variable from my code data insert or update was still working. So how the passing of data working here.
Answer
When you remove var dataString all the fields having name attribute are automatically submitted along with form

Get mysql column of a clicked item

I have searched endlessly for an answer but have found none. I am trying to get the id of a clicked item. The item that I am clicking is from mysql database and has been displayed through a for loop. When the item is clicked I am taken to another page. In this page I want to utilize the id from the clicked item to get other information from that row in mysql database; this much I can do. The problem is getting the id from the clicked item and sending it.
This is the most recent way that I tried:
First I displayed the items from mysql.
<?php
$query = "SELECT `video` FROM `challenge_name` ORDER BY `id`";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if($result = mysql_query($query))
{
for($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_rows($result); $i++)
{
$id = $i;
$code = "<div id=\"challenge_preview\"><h7 class=\"challenge_preview_item\"
id=\"challenge_preview_name\"></h7><a href=\"challengeprofile.php\">
<video
class=\"challenge_preview_item\" id=\"challenge_video\"
src=\"".mysql_result($result, $i)."\"></video></a></div>";
echo $code;
}
}
else
{
die('Couldn\'t connect'. mysql_error());
}
?>
Than I put the id in a hidden form so that I could attempt to POST it to the other page:
<form action="<?php echo $current_file; ?>" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="14">
</form>
On the script.php file that is included in both pages, I put
$(#challenge_video).click(function(){ <?php $id = $_POST['id']; ?> ;});
And on the page that the id is being posted to I put
<?php
include 'script.php';
echo getChallengeData('name', 'id', $id)
?>
Please help, Thank you
These are the edits
<div id='challenge_previews'>
<?php
$query = "SELECT `video` FROM `challenge_name` ORDER BY `id`";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if($result = mysql_query($query))
{
for($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_rows($result); $i++)
{
$id = $i;
echo "<div id=\"challenge_preview\"><video class=\"challenge_preview_item challenge_video\" src=\"".mysql_result($result, $i)."\"></video></div>";
}
}
else
{
die('Couldn\'t connect'. mysql_error());
}
?>
<form action="<?php echo $current_file; ?>" method="GET">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="14">
</form>
</div>
This is the code for page 2
<h1 id="challenge_profile_name">
<?php
$id = substr(base64_decode($_GET['id']),6);
echo getChallengeData('name', 'id', $id);
?>
</h1>
This is the code for the getChallengeData method in the core.inc.php
function getChallengeData($field1, $field2, $field3)
{
$query = "SELECT `$field1` FROM `challenge_name` WHERE `$field2` = '$field3'";
if($query_run = mysql_query($query))
{
if($query_result = mysql_result($query_run, 0, $field1))
{
return $query_result;
}
}
}
That error that I'm getting has to do with the implementation of the getChallengeData method on page 2. The error says
Warning: mysql_result(): Unable to jump to row 0 on MySQL result index 10 in C:\xampp\htdocs\ChallengeNetworkWebsite\core.inc.php on line 42

Create session variables out of looped database values

I am attempting to create a variable from a database array when an HTML link is clicked. The goal is to redirect the user to a form populated using one piece of array data. In other words, the database will be queried and form populated according to which link is clicked (whatever the values of $row[1], $row[2], and $row[3] are).
<?php
ini_set('display_errors',1); error_reporting(E_ALL);
$DATE = date('Y-m-d');
require_once 'IRCconfig.php';
$connection = new mysqli($db_hostname, $db_username, $db_password, $db_database);
if ($connection->connect_error) die($connection->connect_error);
$query = "SELECT * FROM CLIENT_CHECKIN1 WHERE DATE>='$DATE'";
$result = $connection->query($query);
if (!$result) die ("Database access failed: " . $connection->error);
$rows = $result->num_rows;
for ($j = 0 ; $j < $rows ; ++$j)
{
$result->data_seek($j);
$row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_NUM);
echo <<<_END
<pre>
$row[1] $row[2] $row[3]
</pre>
_END;
}
?>
If anyone can provide me with some incite as to how I could accomplish this I'd appreciate it greatly.

Please read more about sessions here
Then, to answer your question:
First you need to start the session, as simple as session_start(); on the top of your script.
Second you need to instantiate session variables with the DB values like this: $_SESSION['var'] = $value;.
Third, in the html file or whatever, where the form relies, just check for it:
if(isset($_SESSION['var'])) {
echo '<input type="text" value="'.$_SESSION['var'].'" />';
} else {
echo '<input type="text" value="" />';
}
and use the value if it is set.
L.E:
So... first thing's first... session_start(); without it, there is no point of having session.
Second, you create it like $_SESSION['some_name'] = $row[1] so that var will keep the value from $row[1]. I am presuming that it's the value you need. Do NOT do do it like $_SESSION['$row1'] because first of all this is incorrect, you will NOT have the value of row1 there. You need an unique name so that you can call it where you have the form.
The above code will become something like this:
<?php
session_start();

$rows = $result->num_rows;
for ($j = 0 ; $j < $rows ; ++$j)

$result->data_seek($j);
$row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_NUM);
$_SESSION['first_row'] = $row[1];
$_SESSION['second_row'] = $row[2];
$_SESSION['third_row'] = $row[3];
echo <<<_END
<pre>
$row[1] $row[2] $row[3]
</pre>
_END;
}
?>
and, where you have the form and the <input type = "text" value = "" /> so where you need the value, just do it like this:
<input type = "text" value = "<?php echo (isset($_SESSION['first_row']) ? $_SESSION['first_row'] : ''); ?>" />
<input type = "text" value = "<?php echo (isset($_SESSION['second_row']) ? $_SESSION['second_row'] : ''); ?>" />
<input type = "text" value = "<?php echo (isset($_SESSION['third_row']) ? $_SESSION['third_row'] : ''); ?>" />
Hope this helps! :D
