Alerting only 1st Product Code from table?

So, I have a table emitting data from database table.
//Display the simplex table
echo "<div id='simptable'>";
$sqlGet = "SELECT * FROM simplex_list";
//Grab data from database
$sqlSimplex = mysqli_query($connect , $sqlGet)or die("Error retrieving data!");
//Loop to display all records on webpage in a table
echo "<table>";
echo "<tr><th>Product Code</th><th>Description</th><th>Quantity</th></tr>";
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($sqlSimplex , MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
echo "<tr><td>";
echo "<input type='text' id='sim' value='".$row['s_code']."' readonly>";
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['description'];
echo "</td>";
echo "<input type='hidden' id='com' name='complexcode' value='$newProductID'>";
echo "<td>";
echo "<input type='text' size='7' id='userqty'>";
echo "</td><td>";
echo "<input type='button' onclick='addthis()' value='Add!'>";
echo "</td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
echo "</div>";
And I try to alert the 'Product Code' here when the user clicks 'Add' button....
function addthis() {
var scode = $('#sim').val();
alert(scode);
}
The problem is it only alerts the first Product Code in the table. That from row 1.
Example:
Product code Name More
123 Toy 'Add'
321 Food 'Add'
555 Pen 'Add'
So if I click on 'Add' for food or pen it will still alert 123..
Any ideas?

ID must be unique.
You can do something like following. Add parameter in onclick function. Which will be ID of row.
echo "<input type='button' onclick='addthis(".$row['s_code'].")' value='Add!'>";
^^^
Parameter added in above code. Now javascript function can be:
function addthis(scope) {
alert(scode);
}

As I stated in comments, the ID of your input must be unique. You're currently assigning 'sim' as the ID to every input in your loop over the data results.
One approach to fix this:
$i = 0;
echo "<input type='text' id='sim" . $i ."' value='".$row['s_code']."' readonly>";
And then add a unqiue id to your button using the same incrementor:
echo "<input type='button' id='btn" . $i . "' value='Add!'>";
$i++; //then increment
Notice that the button and the input have the same number at the end of their id. You can use this to parse the id of the button and use it to find the input.
Tie the click event with:
$(document).on('click', '[id^="btn"]', function() {
var id = $(this).attr('id').split('btn')[1];
var val = $('#sim' + id).val();
console.log(val);
//do other stuff
});
UPDATE: JSFiddle

Using PHP Variable as ID and calling from Javascript

Im using this is an ID
$id = $row['id'];
echo "<input type='text' id='$id' value='$row["s_code"]'>";
How can I get that ID in javascript function? I want it in here...
var scode = $('#').val();
While loop..
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($sqlSimplex , MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
echo "<tr><td>";
$id = $row['id'];
echo "<input type='text' id='$id' value='".$row['s_code']."' readonly>";
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['description'];
echo "</td>";
echo "<input type='hidden' id='comval' value='$newProductID'>";
echo "<td>";
echo "<input type='text' size='7' id='userqtyval'>";
echo "</td><td>";
echo "<input type='button' onclick='addthis()' value='Add!'>";
echo "</td></tr>";
}
Javascript
function addthis() {
var myID = '$id';
var scode = $("#"+myID).val();
alert(scode);
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'insertsimplextoc_comp.php',
data: { simplexcode: scode },
});
}
Been stuck on this for over a week!

PHP:
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($sqlSimplex , MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
echo "<tr><td>";
$id = $row['id'];
echo "<input type='text' id='$id' value='".$row['s_code']."' readonly>";
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['description'];
echo "</td>";
echo "<input type='hidden' id='comval' value='$newProductID'>";
echo "<td>";
echo "<input type='text' size='7' id='userqtyval'>";
echo "</td><td>";
echo "<input type='button' class='submit-scode' data-field-id='$id' value='Add!'>";
echo "</td></tr>";
}
Javascript (using jQuery click event):
$('.submit-scode').click(function(){
var field_id = $(this).attr('data-field-id');
var scode = $("#"+field_id).val();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'insertsimplextoc_comp.php',
data: { simplexcode: scode },
});
});
Untested, but it should work.

Add the id of the current loop as a parameter to the addthis function:
echo "<input type='button' onclick='addthis(\"$id\")' value='Add!'>";
Then grab the id when the function is called like so:
function addthis(myID)
{
var scode = $("#"+myID).val();
//etc
}

have to keep track of that dynamic id's
It you have that id then you can do something like this
var id="assign php varable";
var scode =$('#'+id).val();

I'm guessing you want it to be used in the addthis() function ?
In this case, you'll hve to give a similar class to all your readonly inputs.
Then, while clicking on the add button, you'll have to check for its parent <tr>
I made some example here : http://jsfiddle.net/captain_torche/frzadnbb/
Or, you could alteratively put the ID as a parameter of the addthis() function, like so :
echo "<input type='button' onclick='addthis(".$id.")' value='Add!'>";

Show specific text from a php loop of database results using jquery

I have selected data from my database and I have looped through the results to display them on my page. I have 3 results which are shown. Each result has a button with an id called decrease. When I click this button, an alert with the name of the item containing the alert button should be displayed. I am using jQuery to achieve this.
My problem is that whenever I click the button, the name of only the first item in the results array is displayed. The buttons in the other two results don't seem to work. What am I doing wrong?
The code that loops through the result and displays the items in the database table:
if(mysqli_num_rows($run) >= 1){
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($run)) {
$name = $row['name'];
$quantity = $row['quantity'];
$price = $row['price'];
$image = $row['image'];
$category = $row['category'];
$total = $price * $quantity;
echo "<div class=\"post-container\">\n";
echo "<div class=\"post-thumb\">\n";
echo "<img src='$image'>\n";
echo "</div>\n";
echo "<div class=\"post-title\">\n";
echo "<h4 style=\"font-weight:bold;\">\n";
echo "$name\n";
echo "<span id=\"deletion\">Delete</span>\n";
echo "</h4>\n";
echo "</div>\n";
echo "<div class=\"post-content\">\n";
echo "<ul style=\"list-style-type:none;\">\n";
echo "<li>Cost Per Item: <span id=\"cost\">$price</span>/=</li>\n";
echo "<li>\n";
echo "Quantity: \n";
echo "<button type=\"submit\" id=\"decrease\" class=\"glyphicon glyphicon-minus\" title=\"Decrease Quantity\"></button>\n";
echo "\n";
echo "<span id=\"cost\" class=\"quantity\">&nbsp$quantity&nbsp</span>\n";
echo "\n";
echo "<button type=\"submit\" id=\"increase\" class=\"glyphicon glyphicon-plus\" title=\"Increase Quantity\"></button>\n";
echo "</li>\n";
echo "<li>Total Cost: <span id=\"cost\">$total</span>/=</li>\n";
echo "</ul>\n";
echo "</div>\n";
echo "</div>";
}
}
And here's the jquery:
$("#decrease").click(function(){
var name = $(this).parent("li").parent("ul").parent("div.post-content").siblings("div.post-title").find("a").text();
alert(name);
});

Your HTML markup is invalid as there can be only one element with given id - id must be unique. You can use classes instead, for example class decrease will have selector .decrease, that will pertain to all your buttons.

How to render UI using php and angular for display and in place update

<?php
$ach_json = json_decode ( $ach, true );
for($i = 0; $i < count ( $ach_json ); $i ++) {
echo "<ng:switch on='edit'>";
echo "<div ng:switch-when='true'>";
$title = $ach_json [$i] ['title'];
echo "<h3>title $title</h3><br>";
echo "<input type='image' src='http:'..' name='edit' value='$i' ng-click='editClick()'>";
echo "</div>";
echo "<div ng:switch-when='false'>";
echo "Title: <input type='text' ng-model='title' value=$title> <br>";
echo "<button ng-click='updateRequest()'>update</button>";
echo "</ng:switch>";
}
?>
</form>
here I display title, when someone clicks on edit button, I change it to textbox and give the user to update . once someone clicks on update , now I will make a rest call and need to show updated title.

Validate PHP variable via Javascript

Im looking to pass one variable from my PHP code to my Javascript code to validate a figure. I'm creating a shopping cart scenario whereby i have a variable 'in_stock' which specifies the amount of stock available for a product. If I enter an amount that is greater than the 'in_stock' available i need an error to be thrown. This is currently what I have:
Java Script
<script language="javascript">
function numCheck()
{
var enteredChar = document.getElementById('add_value').value;
var stockavailable ="<?php echo $stock?>";
//To check if a non-numerical value is entered
if (isNaN(enteredChar))
{
alert("Not a Number!");
return false;
}
//To check if the input is empty
if (enteredChar=="")
{
alert("Empty!");
return false;
}
//To check if the amount entered is not greater than the amount in stock
if (enteredChar > stockavailable)
{
alert("Not enough in stock");
return false;
}
}
</script>
This is all occurring whilst my PHP has called the database and returned the value on the screen. As follows:
PHP
$product_id =(int)$_GET['product_id'];
$username = "potiro";
$password = "pcXZb(kL";
$hostname = "rerun";
//connection to the database
$dbhandle = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password)
or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");
//select a database to work with
$selected = mysql_select_db("poti",$dbhandle)
or die("Could not select examples");
//execute the SQL query and return records
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM products where product_id=$product_id");
echo '<form name="form1">';
echo '<table class="Grocery-table">';
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$stock =$row['in_stock'];
$product_id = $row['product_id'];
echo "<tr><td><b>Product ID</b></td>";
echo "<td>";
echo $product_id;
echo "</td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td><b>Product Name</b></td>";
echo "<td>";
echo $row['product_name'];
echo "</td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td><b>Unit Price</b></td>";
echo "<td>";
echo $stock;
echo "</td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td><b>Unit Quantity</b></td>";
echo "<td>";
echo $row['unit_quantity'];
echo "</td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td><b>In Stock</b></td>";
echo "<td>";
echo $row['in_stock'];
echo "</td></tr>";
echo '<tr><td><b>Add</b></td><td><Input type="text" id="add_value" name="cart"></input></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td></td><td><input type="submit" value="Submit" onclick="return numCheck()"></td></tr>';
}
echo "</table>";
echo "</form>";
mysql_close($dbhandle);
?>

add your stock value to a hidden input value stock_value
echo '<tr><td><b>Add</b></td><td><Input type="text" id="add_value" name="cart" ></input><Input type="hidden" id="stock_value" name="stock_value" value="'.trim($stock).'"></input></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td></td><td><input type="submit" value="Submit" onclick="return numCheck()"></td></tr>';
in javascript
<script language="javascript">
function numCheck()
{
var enteredChar = document.getElementById('add_value').value;
var stockavailable =document.getElementById('stock_value').value;
