 * Hi,
    I’m an absolute beginner in PHP, WordPress. In my page I need to: 1. input
   name or/and select country and city (ajax_select_city.js) 2. click search button
   3. result is a table, I add one plus update button in every column; the mobile
   and email columns are editable 4. I can’t realize: Ex. I change a mobile number
   and when I click to change button I want to execute update script in MySQL. I
   try onclick method but I can’t do it (button value equal UPDATE part).
 * Thanks for answers.
 * WordPress main page:
 *     ```
       [php_include] include '/select_list_city.php'; [/php_include]
       <html>
           <head>
               <meta charset="utf-8" /><script src="/ajax_select_city.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
           </head>
           <body>
               <form id="myForm" action="/userlnfo-modify.php" method="post">
                   Név*:<br><input type="text" name="nev">
                   <p> [php_include] echo $re_html;[/php_include]<br class="clear" />
                   <br class="clear" />
                   <button id="sub">Search</button>
                   <br><br></form><span id="result"></span>
                   <div id="data"><?php echo $result; ?></div>
                   <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.8.1.min.js"></script>
                   <script src="/my_script.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
               </Form>
           </body>
       </html>
       ```
   
 * This is a part of userlnfo-modify.php:
 *     ```
       while ($data = mysqli_fetch_array($query))
       {
           $ID = $ID+1;
           $data_name = $data["name"];
   
           echo'
           <tr style="background-color:#EFFBFB; border: 1px solid black;">
           <td style="font-size:14px;">'.$data["name"].'</td>
           <td style="font-size:14px;">'.$data["city"].'</td>
           <td style="font-size:14px;">'.$data["age"].'</td>
           <td style="font-size:14px;">'.$data["utca"].'</td>
           <td><input type="text" value='.$data["mobil"].'></td>
           <td><input type="text" value='.$data["email"].'></td>
           <strong><td onclick="cellOnclick()"><a href="#" onclick="linkOnclick()" style="text-decoration: none;">
           <input type=button value="UPDATE" myFunction(this);return false;"></button></td></tr>';</strong>
       }
       echo '</table>';
       }
   
       unset all variable...
       ```
