How do I post a row of data to another script?

Question

<?php 
    $pvp=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM characters ORDER BY level DESC");
echo "<table><tr><th>Character</th><th>Level</th><th>Tribe</th></tr>";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($pvp)) {
    echo "<tr><td>".($row['charname'])."</td><td>".($row['level'])."</td><td>".($row['tribe'])."</td><td><form action='/scripts/pvp.php' method='post'><input type='submit' name='pvp' value='Battle!'></form></td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
?>

In this script, I loop through an array and display all data stored in a variable ($pvp). I would like to add an input button at the end of each row that allows me to post that specific row to another page to use in another script. How would I do this?

You could populate form inputs with PHP just like you are populating your table: `` — showdev, Jun 25 '13 at 18:31

Inside while() loop:

echo "<tr><td>".($row['charname'])."</td>";
echo "<td>".($row['level'])."</td><td>".($row['tribe'])."</td>";
echo "<td><form action='/scripts/pvp.php' method='post'>";
echo "<input type=hidden name='tribe' value='".$row['tribe']."'>";
echo "<input type=hidden name='charname' value='".$row['charname']."'>";
echo "<input type=hidden name='level' value='".$row['level']."'><input type='submit' name='pvp' value='Battle!'></form></td></tr>";

Adding the hidden inputs into my loop breaks my current page. – Mikifer Blair Jun 25 '13 at 18:45
Previously, my script - sans form - would display a table that had 3 rows of information, plus the headers. When I add that to the script, the page displays blank. – Mikifer Blair Jun 25 '13 at 18:56
Oh, yeah, forgot to remove extra "(". Try now. – drull Jun 25 '13 at 18:59
