PHP - Turning Mysql Table Into Html Table
I know I'm doing it something right, but can someone tell me why only one table is showing up? Can you help me fix the issue?
Heres my code: function showcoords() { echo"J3st3r's CoordVision"; $result=dbquery("SELECT alliance, region, coordx, coordy FROM ".DB_COORDFUSION.""); dbarray($result); $fields_num = mysql_num_fields($result); echo "<table border='1'>"; // printing table headers echo "<td>Alliance</td>"; echo "<td>Region</td>"; echo "<td>Coord</td>"; // printing table rows while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { // $row is array... foreach( .. ) puts every element // of $row to $cell variable foreach($row AS $Cell) echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>".$row['alliance']."</td>\n"; echo "<td>".$row['region']."</td>\n"; echo "<td>".$row['coordx'].",".$row['coordy']."</td>\n"; echo "</tr>\n"; } echo "</table>"; mysql_free_result($result); } I have 2 rows inserted into my coords table. Just frustrated and ignorant to php. Similar TutorialsHello, I need some help. Say that I have a list in my MySQL database that contains elements "A", "S", "C", "D" etc... Now, I want to generate an html table where these elements should be distributed in a random and unique way while leaving some entries of the table empty, see the picture below. But, I have no clue how to do this... Any hints? Thanks in advance, Vero I got a tab menu, where the user choose his category and a list of sub categories appear. Personally I like the old fashion way, where everything listed like in craiglist.com ... How can I turn the following tab menu, into a simple 3 column list? <!--CATEGORIES--> <div id="selCategories"> <div class="slidetabsmenu menu_fix"> <ul> <?php if(isset($groups) and $groups->num_rows()>0) { $i=0; foreach($groups->result() as $group) { ?> <li id="gr<?php echo $i;?>" class="<?php if($i == '0') echo "selected"; ?>"><a href="javascript:;" onclick="getCat('<?php echo $i ?>','<?php echo $groups->num_rows ?>',<?php echo $group->id;?>);"><span><?php echo $group->group_name;?></span></a></li> <?php $i++;} } ?> </ul> </div> <div class="clsInfoBox"> <div class="block"> <div class="grey_t"> <div class="grey_r"> <div class="grey_b"> <div class="grey_l"> <div class="grey_tl"> <div class="grey_tr"> <div class="grey_bl"> <div class="grey_br"> <div class="cls100_p"> <h4><span class="clsCategory"><?php echo $this->lang->line('CATEGORIES');?></span></h4> <div class="clsCategoryList clearfix" id="catInner"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <!--END OF CATEGORIES--> Your tips, directions, and support is highly appreciated. Hi all, I'm new to php/myslq and I'm going crazy trying to figure this one out I'm building a personal calendar and I want to display the data into a HTML table. Code: [Select] //query the database $query = "SELECT * FROM tbl_events WHERE event_day=$day AND event_month=$month AND event_year=$year"; $query = mysql_query($query); //build the table echo '<table>'; for ($y = 0; $y < 6; $y++){ echo '<tr><td>'; //insert the data here echo '</td></tr>'; } echo '</table>'; When I store the events into the database, I assign a slot for each one depending on the hour. I don't want to use more than 6 events daily, hence the for loop. The problem I have is how to I insert the data into the designed <td>? In a particular day I could have only 2 events: event 1 - slot 2, event 2 - slot 6. I want to be able to enter each event into its own cell I hope I'm making myself clear enough. Sorry for any English mistakes if any. Thank you Hi, I have this script which I would like to use to build an html form from a MySQL table. The <input text................ writes successfully to file but none of the other form types are written to file when using the elseif command Also, I would like this script to carry out the file write foreach row in the table It seems complicated and i am not sure if I am going about it in the right way, but here goes Code: [Select] //// Create Forms from MySQL $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM forms"); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){ $field_label = $row['field_label']; $column_name = $row['column_name']; $field_type = $row['field_type']; if ($row['field_type'] = 'Text') { $stringData = "$field_label<input type=text name=$column_name>\n"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); } elseif ($row['field_type'] = 'Text Area') { $stringData = "$field_label<input type=textarea name=$column_name></textarea>\n"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); } elseif ($row['field_type'] = 'Select Menu') { $stringData = "$field_label<select name=$column_name></select>\n"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); } elseif ($row['field_type'] = 'Checkbox') { $stringData = "$field_label<input type=checkbox name=$column_name></textarea>\n"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); } fclose($fh); As always, any help is much appreciated

So I have a jobs database with the following columns: id, jobtext, jobdate, and id. This is how it looks right now: http://prahan.com/jobs/display.html.php I have another table called author. In the authorid column in need the results of this query, SELECT name FROM author WHERE id = (SELECT authorid FROM job) , to be displayed for each row. I also want to be able to customize the header title for each column. Thanks in advance! I was wondering how does one go about showing results from SELECT query in columns in a html table. I have a list of products in a table, and would like to show them on the page in 4 columns. I have done many searches on google to try and find the sulution, but the majority of what im finding instead is about displaying a table from phpmyadmin as a table in html. If its a large operation to do this, I would be very happy if someone could poiint me in the direction of a tutorial maybe. Here is the code I have so far to display the products, but for some reason, it only show 1 row instead of all the rows from my table. Code: [Select] <?php $dbhost = "localhost"; $dbuser = "user"; $dbpass = "pass"; $dbname = "dbname"; mysql_connect ($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)or die("Could not connect: ".mysql_error()); mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error()); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mcproducts"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $products_local_id = $row['products_local_id']; $productname = $row['product_name']; $thumburl = $row['image_from_url']; $productlink = $row['product_local_url']; $thumbnail = $row['product_image_small']; $currencysymbol = $row['product_currency']; $price = $row['product_price']; $flagicon = $row['product_country_from']; } ?> <html> <head> <link href="style/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div class="displaybox"> <div class="productimage"> <a href="<?php echo $productlink; ?><?php echo $products_local_id; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $thumburl; ?><?php echo $thumbnail ?>" width="150" height="150"></a> </div> <div class="productdescription"> <div class="pro_name"> <a href="<?php echo $productlink ?><?php echo $products_local_id; ?>"><?php echo $productname; ?></a> </div> <div class="pro_description"> </div> <?php if ($flagicon=="Ireland") { $flagicon = "<img src=\"flags/ireland.jpg\">"; } elseif ($flagicon=="UK") { $flagicon = "<img src=\"flags/uk.jpg\">"; } else echo ""; ?> <div class="pro_description"><?php echo $flagicon; ?><?php echo $currencysymbol ?> <?php echo $price ?></div> </div> </div> </body> </html> Many thanks, DB Hi everyone. I've two MySQL tables (tbl_csv_input & tbl_qn_types). Table Details: 1. tbl_csv_input (qid, qname, qn_answer, qn_type) Primary Key = qid; Foreign Key = qn_type ref tbl_qn_types qn_type_id 2. tbl_qn_types (qn_type_id, qn_type_name, notes) Primary Key = qn_type_id Sample Data: tbl_csv_input 1 ; Ferrari is the fastest car? ; Yes||No ; T1 2 ; Which below features would you like to have in you... ; Navigator||Airbag||Seat Belt||Camera & Sensors ; T1 3 ; Which model would you prefer? ; CX||MX||SX||LX ; T2 4 ; Comments ; ; T3 tbl_qn_types T1; checkbox; This qn type is used for yes/no T2; radio; Multiple options but only one is correct T3; text area; Users enter input like comments The whole idea is to have a questionnaire displayed in a HTML table depending upon the question types (T1, T2, T3) In simple terms: You have a question and below it there are options. Some questions have check boxes and some have radio buttons and some have text areas. The problem I'm facing is with the column: qn_answer; and column = qn_type. I'm unable to make a loop inside a table which is already in a loop. Please see the attached files (which has the code I've written). TIA. [attachment deleted by admin] I am having so much trouble with this. I want to create a html table that looks like this: Code: [Select] <table id="datatable"> <thead> <tr> <th></th> <th>test</th> <th>test 2</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <th>2011-03-17</th><td>1</td><td>0</td> </tr> <tr> <th>2011-03-18</th><td>3</td><td>2</td> </tr> <tr> <th>2011-03-19</th><td>1</td><td>0</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> out of this mysql result: opens | name | date 1 | test | 2011-03-17 3 | test | 2011-03-18 2 | test 2 | 2011-03-18 1 | test 2 | 2011-03-19 Here is my mysql code: Code: [Select] SELECT count( o.campaign_id ) AS opens, c.name, date(o.created_at) as date FROM opens o LEFT JOIN campaigns c ON c.id = o.campaign_id WHERE (o.created_at between '2011-03-17 00:00:00' and '2011-03-19 23:59:59') GROUP BY date,c.name I also attached a sql dump of my database. I have the following code that searches my database and displays results in a table: $fields = array("field1", "field2", "field3") $cols = implode (', ', $fields); $result= mysql_query (" SELECT $cols FROM tablename WHERE ................... "); if (!$result) {die('Could not search database: ' . mysql_error());} if($result) { if(mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) { return "Sorry. No records found in the database"; } else { $table = "<table border='1' cellpadding='5' cellspacing='5'>"; while($arr = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { $table .= "\t\t<tr>\n"; foreach ($arr as $val_col) { $table .= "\t\t\t".'<td>'.$val_col.'</td>'."\n"; } $table .= "\t\t</tr>\n"; } $table .= "</table>"; echo $table; } mysql_free_result($result); } As you can see each of the MySQL table fields specified by $fields is displayed in a new column in the html table. I want to change this so that e.g. "field3" is displayed in a new row instead. So, instead of the html table looking like: | "field1-result1" | "field2-result1" | "field3-result1" | | "field1-result2" | "field2-result2" | "field3-result2" | | "field1-result3" | "field2-result3" | "field3-result3" | I want it to look like: | "field1-result1" | "field2-result1" | | "field3-result1" | | | "field1-result2" | "field2-result2" | | "field3-result2" | | | "field1-result3" | "field2-result3" | | "field3-result3" | | I guess this is quite straightforward, but I can't work it out!

I'm not sure if my problem is with the PHP, MySQL, HTML, or all of the above, but I've used a tutorial from ScriptPlayground (http://scriptplayground.com/tutorials/php/Printing-a-MySQL-table-to-a-dynamic-HTML-table-with-PHP/) to print a table to HTML. My problem isn't that I couldn't get it to work, as you can see from my site, http://dollapal.com/offerlist.php I've used the code on my site, trying to display a list of offers, with links to each, but I actually have two questions: Is there a way to EXCLUDE columns of the table? I would rather not show the 'id' or 'points' columns, since they don't offer any worth to the user. I would also need to hopefully add a dollar sign before the 'pay' quantities if possible. I would also like use the 'title' field as a hyperlink to the URL listed in the 'URL' field, instead of simply printing the URL. Are there any simple ways to do this and not have it look terrible? I have included a copy of the script that I'm working with so far. Thank you in advance! Not really sure how to get the images I have stored in MySQL into a html form. I can call-up the text fields from the database but it cannot seem to find the index for the images. Here is my code:- <?php session_start(); mysql_connect("localhost","root","abc") or die ("Error! Cannot connect to database"); mysql_select_db("theimageworks") or die ("Cannot find database"); $query = "SELECT * FROM jobs"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error()); ?> <?php //display data in html table echo "<table>"; echo "<tr><td>Username</td><td align='center'>Message</td><td>Product Image</td></tr>"; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "</td><td>"; echo $row['username']; echo "</td><td>"; echo $row['message']; echo "</td></tr>"; echo $row['image']; } echo "</table>"; ?> The error message I get is "Notice: Undefined index: image in....." Thanks in advance! Hi, I'm trying to make a dynamic html table to contain the mysql data that is generated via php. I'm trying to display a user's friends in a table of two columns and however many rows, but can't seem to figure out what is needed to make this work. Here's my code as it stands: Code: [Select] <?php //Begin mysql query $sql = "SELECT * FROM friends WHERE username = '{$_GET['username']}' AND status = 'Active' ORDER BY friends_with ASC"; $result = mysql_query($sql); $count = mysql_num_rows($result); $sql_2 = "SELECT * FROM friends WHERE friends_with = '{$_GET['username']}' AND status = 'Active' ORDER BY username ASC"; $result_2 = mysql_query($sql_2); $count_2 = mysql_num_rows($result_2); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo $row["friendswith"] . "<br>"; } while ($row_2 = mysql_fetch_array($result_2)) { echo $row_2["username"] . "<br>"; } ?> The above simply outputs all records of a user's friends (their usernames) in alphabetical order. The question of how I'd generate a new row each time a certain amount of columns have been met, however, is beyond me. Anyone know of any helpful resources that may solve my problem? Thanks in advance =) I have a table like this: http://empirebuildingsestate.com/company.html How can I separate the table values into variables so I can insert them into my mySQL database? I have been trying DOMDocument but i need some help. Hello to all, I have problem figuring out how to properly display data fetched from MySQL database in a HTML table. In the below example I am using two while loops, where the second one is nested inside first one, that check two different expressions fetching data from tables found in a MySQL database. The second expression compares the two tables IDs and after their match it displays the email of the account holder in each column in the HTML table. The main problem is that the 'email' row is displayed properly while its while expression is not nested and alone(meaning the other data is omitted or commented out), but either nested or neighbored to the first while loop, it is displayed horizontally and the other data ('validity', 'valid_from', 'valid_to') is not displayed.'
Can someone help me on this, I guess the problem lies in the while loop? <thead> <tr> <th data-column-id="id" data-type="numeric">ID</th> <th data-column-id="email">Subscriber's Email</th> <th data-column-id="validity">Validity</th> <th data-column-id="valid_from">Valid From</th> <th data-column-id="valid_to">Valid To</th> </tr> </thead> Here is part of the PHP code:
<?php
while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC))
{
echo '
<tr>
<td>'.$row["id"].'</td>
';
while ($row1 = $stmt1->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
echo '
<td>'.$row1["email"].'</td>
';
}
if($row["validity"] == 1) {
echo '<td>'.$row["validity"].' month</td>';
}else{
echo '<td>'.$row["validity"].' months</td>';
}
echo ' <td>'.$row["valid_from"].'</td>
<td>'.$row["valid_to"].'</td>
</tr>';
}
?>
Thank you.

i want to download pdf or text document after clicking button or link how to do that Hello everyone, Sorry if this has been answered but if it has I can't find it anywhere. So, from the begining then. Lets say I had a member table and in it I wanted to store what their top 3 interests are. Their$ row has all the usual things to identify them userID and password etc.. and I had a further 3 columns which were labled top3_1 top3_2 & top3_3 to put each of their interests in from a post form. If instead I wanted to store this data as a PHP Array instead (using 1 column instead of 3) is there a way to store it as readable data when you open the PHPmyadmin? At the moment all it says is array and when I call it back to the browser (say on a page where they could review and update their interests) it displays 'a' as top3_01 'r' as top3_02 and 'r' as top3_03 (in each putting what would be 'array' as it appears in the table if there were 5 results. Does anyone know what I mean? For example - If we had a form which collected the top 3 interests to put in a table called users, Code: [Select] <form action="back_to_same_page_for_processing.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input name="top3_01" type="text" value="enter interest number 1 here" /> <input name="top3_02" type="text" value="enter interest number 2 here" /> <input name="top3_03" type="text" value="enter interest number 3 here" /> <input type="submit" name="update_button" value=" Save and Update! " /> </form> // If my quick code example for this form is not correct dont worry its not the point im getting at :) And they put 'bowling' in top3_01, 'running' in top3_02 and 'diving' in top3_03 and we catch that on the same page with some PHP at the top --> Code: [Select] if (isset($_POST)['update_button']) { $top3_01 = $_POST['top3_01']; // i.e, 'bowling' changing POST vars to local vars $top3_02 = $_POST['top3_02']; // i.e, 'running' $top3_03 = $_POST['top3_03']; // i.e, 'diving' With me so far? If I had a table which had 3 columns (1 for each interest) I could put something like - Code: [Select] include('connect_msql.php'); mysql_query("Select * FROM users WHERE id='$id' AND blah blah blah"); mysql_query("UPDATE users SET top3_01='$top3_01', top3_02='$top3_02', top3_03='$top3_03' WHERE id='$id'"); And hopefully if ive got it right, it will put them each in their own little column. Easy enough huh? But heres the thing, I want to put all these into an array to be stored in the 1 column (say called 'top3') and whats more have them clearly readable in PHPmyadmin and editable from there yet still be able to be called back an rendered on page when requested. Continuing the example then, assuming ive changed the table for the 'top3' column instead of individual colums, I could put something like this - Code: [Select] if (isset($_POST)['update_button']) { $top3_01 = $_POST['top3_01']; // i.e, 'bowling' changing POST vars to local vars $top3_02 = $_POST['top3_02']; // i.e, 'running' $top3_03 = $_POST['top3_03']; // i.e, 'diving' $top3_array = array($top3_01,$top3_02,$top3_03); include('connect_msql.php'); mysql_query("UPDATE members SET top3='$top3_array' WHERE id='$id' AND blah blah blah"); But it will appear in the column as 'Array' and when its called for using a query it will render the literal string. a r r in each field instead. Now I know you can use the 'serialize()' & 'unserialize()' funtcions but it makes the entry in the database practically unreadable. Is there a way to make it readable and editable without having to create a content management system? If so please let me know and I'll be your friend forever, lol, ok maybe not but I'd really appreciate the help anyways. The other thing is, If you can do this or something like it, how am I to add entries to that array to go back into the data base? I hope ive explained myself enough here, but if not say so and I'll have another go. Thanks very much people, L-PLate (P.s if I sort this out on my own ill post it all here) Hello, So I need a bit of help with tables. I currently have my website set up with the following tables: products (productId, productName, link, productPrice, productDesc) productscents (scentId, scentName, scentDesc) salves (productId, productName, productDesc) So now most products in the products table can be made in any of the scents in the productScents table (except for the salves and reed diffuser jar). I have a separate table of the salve types that can be ordered. How do I join each product with each productScent. For example: If I have the following products with their Id number: 1 Body Mist 2 Massage Oil 3 Reed Diffuser Jar and the following scents with their id (id has leading zeros): 0001 Mango 0002 Passionfruit 0003 Grapefruit How would I create a master products table that will display the following: 3 Reed Diffuser Jar 10001 Mango Body Mist 10002 Passionfruit Body Mist 10003 Grapefruit Body Mist 20001 Mango Massage Oil 20002 Passionfruit Massage Oil 20003 Grapefruit Massage Oil I hope this makes sense. lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
