Q:

Getting value from multiple buttons

I'm trying to print a value from several buttons.  The value and ID of the buttons are defines in my table.  This works fine with only one element in the table, but not with several.  I guess I need to loop it somehow.  Any suggestions? 
(PS.  Does not have to be a button)
<? php
$sql_rel = "SELECT * FROM TABLE";
$result1 = mssql_query($sql_rel);
$count = mssql_num_rows($result1);
while ($row1 = mssql_fetch_assoc($result1)){
    echo '<button id="' .  $row1['NAME'] . '"  onClick="func()" value="'.$row1['NAME'].'">'.$row1['DESCRIPTION'].'</button>';

}

    <p id="print"></p>
    <script>

    function func(){
       var x = document.getElementById("<?php 

       $sql_rel = "SELECT * FROM TABLE";
       $result1 = mssql_query($sql_rel);
       $count = mssql_num_rows($result1);
       while ($row1 = mssql_fetch_assoc($result1)){
          echo $row1['NAME'];

       }

     ? >").value;
   document.getElementById("print").innerHTML = x;
   }
   </script>

A:

Try the following:
<? php
$sql_rel = "SELECT * FROM TABLE";
$result1 = mssql_query($sql_rel);
$count = mssql_num_rows($result1);
while ($row1 = mssql_fetch_assoc($result1)){
    /* Note the "this" in the onClick function */
    echo '<button id="' .  $row1['NAME'] . '"  onClick="func(this)" value="'.$row1['NAME'].'">'.$row1['DESCRIPTION'].'</button>';
}

<p id="print"></p>
<script>
function func(obj){
    document.getElementById("print").innerHTML = obj.value;//Change to 'obj.innerHTML' for the button's visible text (aka, $row1['DESCRIPTION'])
}
</script>

Second answer: (Won't change again until you refresh)
<? php
$sql_rel = "SELECT * FROM TABLE";
$result1 = mssql_query($sql_rel);
$count = mssql_num_rows($result1);
while ($row1 = mssql_fetch_assoc($result1)){
    /* Note the "this" in the onClick function */
    echo '<button id="' .  $row1['NAME'] . '"  onClick="func(this)" value="'.$row1['NAME'].'">'.$row1['DESCRIPTION'].'</button>';
}

<p id="print"></p>
<script>
var pressed = false;
function func(obj){
    if (pressed) return;
    document.getElementById("print").innerHTML = obj.value;//Change to 'obj.innerHTML' for the button's visible text (aka, $row1['DESCRIPTION']);
    pressed = true;
}
</script>

Third answer: (Sorry for the long wait)
<? php
$sql_rel = "SELECT * FROM TABLE";
$result1 = mssql_query($sql_rel);
$count = mssql_num_rows($result1);
while ($row1 = mssql_fetch_assoc($result1)){
    /* Note the "this" in the onClick function */
    echo '<button id="' .  $row1['NAME'] . '"  onClick="func(this)" value="'.$row1['NAME'].'">'.$row1['DESCRIPTION'].'</button>';
}

<p id="print"></p>
<script>
function func(obj){
    if (obj.pressed) return;
    document.getElementById("print").innerHTML = document.getElementById("print").innerHTML + " " + obj.value;//Change to 'obj.innerHTML' for the button's visible text (aka, $row1['DESCRIPTION']);
    obj.pressed = true;
}
</script>
