ticketID is from this loop and transfer it to the ticketResolve.php page where the ticketID is use to get the details of the ticket, which works data from the database populate the input tags.

and this is the code in the ticketResolve.php page

$ticket = getTicketDetails($_GET['ticketID']);

if(isset($_POST['resolveTicket'])) {

    resolveTicket($loggedUser['userName'], $loggedUser['userID'], 
$_POST['ticketID']);
    header("Location: admin_viewTickets.php");

}

<input type="text" value="<?=$text?>"> //this is showing 1

the "resolve" field should change from 0 to 1

Please help thank you

Think you need another equals in `ticketResolve.php?ticketID=$ticket['ticketID']?>` => `ticketResolve.php?ticketID==$ticket['ticketID']?>` — Nigel Ren, Nov 07 '19 at 16:58
Check the HTML on the page to see what it is being set to, then if it's OK - check your page `print_r($_GET);` — Nigel Ren, Nov 07 '19 at 17:02
BTW - you should always follow a `header()` call with `exit()` - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3553698/php-should-i-call-exit-after-calling-location-header — Nigel Ren, Nov 07 '19 at 17:03
@JohnMacasinag Can you update your original post with the updated code? This way we can see if you updated it properly and new people coming to help don't need to read all the comments to check what you've tried so far. — gustavo.lei, Nov 07 '19 at 17:05
@JohnMacasinag Could you post (in the body of the question) the _rendered_ HTML of one of these buttons? — Patrick Q, Nov 07 '19 at 17:05
@JohnMacasinag To use [print_r()](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.print-r.php) for assignment instead of direct output, you need to pass `TRUE` as the second argument. — Patrick Q, Nov 07 '19 at 17:12

You're missing a = in the href attribute, change it to

<a class="btn btn-info btn-sm" href="ticketResolve.php?ticketID=<?=$ticket['ticketID']?>">view</a>

Do you have some rewriting rules applied? If yes check QSA flag. – Giorgio.dev Nov 07 '19 at 18:13
