CodeIgniter Form Step By Step Tutorial - Part 15: After create table at here, we will add links for edit and delete data. We use URL Helper to build the links.
Update books_main.php (views) with following code (add line 29 & 30):
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="<?php echo "$base/$css"?>">
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<? $this->load->view('books_header'); ?>
</div>
<div id="menu">
<? $this->load->view('books_menu'); ?>
</div>
<? echo heading('List of Books',3); ?>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Author</th>
<th>Year</th>
<th colspan="2">Action</th>
</tr>
<?php
foreach($query as $row){
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>". $row->id ."</td>";
echo "<td>". $row->title ."</td>";
echo "<td>". $row->author ."</td>";
echo "<td>". $row->year ."</td>";
echo "<td>". anchor('books/input/'.$row->id,'Edit') ."</td>";
echo "<td>". anchor('books/del/'.$row->id,'Delete') ."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
?>
</table>
<div id="footer">
<? $this->load->view('books_footer'); ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
You can see, than write line like this
<a href="http://localhost/CodeIgniter/
index.php/books/input/1">Edit</a>
Better:
<?php echo anchor('books/input/1','Edit'); ?>
