    <table border="1">
        <tr>
            <th bgcolor="#666600">Action</th>
            <th bgcolor="#666600">Name</th>

            <th bgcolor="#666600">email</th>
        </tr>
        <?php
            include("connection.php");
            $q="select * from tbl_faculty";
            $result=mysql_query("select * from tbl_faculty");
            while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
            {
                echo "<tr><td><input type='submit' id='$row[faculty_id]' name='info' value='Info'><input type='submit' id='$row[faculty_id]' name='edit' value='Edit'><input type='submit' id='$row[faculty_id]' name='Delete' value='Delete'></td><td>$row[FirstName]&nbsp;$row[LastName]</td><td>$row[Keyskills]</td><td>$row[qualification]</td><td>$row[Email]</td></tr>";
            }

        ?>

        <tr>
            <td colspan="5"><input type="submit" id="btn_insert" name="btn_insert" value="Insert" /></td>
        </tr>

</table>

</form>

from this page i want to get values of each button like we use in mysql wamp server.

Hi,

to get the values of the buttons you just have to get the values of the $_POST vars.

For example, in your code, the value $_POST (your first button) is "Info".

Are you sure to really know how to use forms?

You should look at approaching this from a different perspective. You are not going to be able to access the ID attribute in the called PHP program. What you are going to need to do is build a link (either in a button or just text) that passes the information to the next page. Your link will contain the mode and the faculty id and look sonething like this.

printf("<a href='11.gif?mode='Edit'&id=%s>Edit</a>", $row['faculty_id']);
printf("<a href='11.gif?mode='Del'&id=%s>Delete</a>", $row['faculty_id']);
printf("<a href='11.gif?mode='Info'&id=%s>Info</a>", $row['faculty_id']);

When the link is selected the values are passed throught the $_GET structure instead ofthe $_POST structure

Please put your code in code tags. That is so hard to read. Anyway, just put your id into a hidden input.

<input type="hidden" name="id" value="id"/>
