PHP - Echo Question

I have a log system that allows 10 logs on each side(Left and right). I am trying to make it so that the left side has the 10 most recent logs, then the right as the next 10. Any ideas?

So I need to echo a row from my database with php, but where i need to echo is already inside an echo. This is my part of my code:


$con = mysql_connect("$host","$username","$password");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("main", $con);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Vendor");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
//I need to echo right here  .................. but I get a blank page when I try this. Please Help.
  echo '<option value=$row['vendor_id']>'; echo $row['vendor_id']; echo '</option>';
  }

mysql_close($con);

Result: A Blank page.
Thanks in advance!

Hi   I try to echo out random lines of a html file and want after submit password to whole content of the same html file. I have two Problems. 1st Problem When I echo out the random lines of the html file I don't get just the text but the code of the html file as well. I don't want that. I just want the text. How to do that?

for($x = 1;$x<=40;$x++) {
		$lines = file("$filename.html");
        echo $lines[rand(0, count($lines)-1)]."<br>";
        }

I tried instead of "file("$filename.html");" "readfile("$filename.html");" But then I get the random lines plus the whole content. Is there anything else I can use instead of file so that I get the random lines of text  without the html code?P.S file_get_contents doesn't work either have tried that one.     2nd Problem:   As you could see in my first problem I have a file called $filename.html. After I submit the value of a password I want the whole content. But it is like the program did forget what $filename.html is. How can I make the program remember what $filename.html is? Or with other words how to get the whole content of the html file?   My code:

if($_POST['submitPasswordIT']){
if ($_POST['passIT']== $password ){
$my_file = file_get_contents("$filename.html");
echo $my_file;
}
else{
echo "You entered wrong password";
}
}

If the password isn't correct I get: You entered wrong password. If the password is correct I get nothing. I probably need to create a path to the file "$filename.html", but I don't know exactly how to do that.   

For some reason, I can only get 1 row to echo out when there are actually multiple rows in the database that should be echoing.

Here is what I have:


$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM boards WHERE boardname='$board' ORDER BY id LIMIT 10");
$post = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
echo stripslashes($post['message']) . "<br>\n" . " --- ".stripslashes($post['username']). " on ".stripslashes($post['time']) ."\n<hr width=90%>\n";


It pulls the one record great, but it only shows one record... I want to keep it to 10 records, thus the LIMIT in there (which I think I did right...), but it won't even show the ones in there right now (under 10, so that's not an issue yet).

Code: [Select]
<span class="hotspot" onmouseover="tooltip.show('User ID :');" onmouseout="tooltip.hide();">
i want to know how to echo this above code

Hi freaks,
Yes im a noob...

I have some data in a db that im echoing out, but the last row wont multiply? The rest works great...
I have tried having the data as the following: 1.12 or 0.12 & I have tried having it as a var.

Do I need to have a % in there somewhere? Im adding up all the data then I want to multiply by 12% (*$row['markup'])


<?php echo $row['Stock1']*$row['qty']+$row['cutting']+$row['production']+$row['additional']+$row['pluscover']+$row['selfcover']*$row['markup'];?>

any help would be appreciated.

What is the correct way to write an if/else statement within an echo? I need to alter this so that I can query to see what data is found and if not correct not to echo the rest of the statement.

Code: [Select]
echo '<td class="productbox">
<h1>' . $product_title . '</h1>
</td>';

So from the above code which is echoed within  the single quotes, what is the correct way to include an if else check on a value from the database.

I know how its done, but just want to save time and write it the correct way within this.

Hi all,

I have a page which simply pulls info from a database by id:
<?php
include ('connect.php');
$id = $_GET['id'];

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM JOBS WHERE id=$id");
if (!$query) {
     echo "Could not run query: " . mysql_error();
     exit;
}
$row = mysql_fetch_row($query);
{
echo "<body><h3>" . $row[1]. "</h3>";
echo "<h4>" . $row[2] . "</h4>";
echo "<h4>" . $row[3] . "</h4>";
echo "<h5>Duties & Responsibilities:</h5><ul>";
echo "<li><strong>" . $row[4] . "</strong>" . $row[5] . "</li>";
echo "<li><strong>" . $row[6] . "</strong>" . $row[7] . "</li>";
echo "<li><strong>" . $row[8] . "</strong>" . $row[9] . "</li>";
echo "<li><strong>" . $row[10] . "</strong>" . $row[11] . "</li>";
}
?>

However in some cases the rows in the database may only contain data upto row 6 for example, how would I go about coding this so that it only displays rows that exist. If row 6 exists then 7 always will too as the information is connected. I am manually added this stuff into phpmyadmin as I do not need a form as once it is complete then it will not need to be added to.

Also row 8 and 9 may contain data but 6 and 7 may not

Many Thanks

Hi
I once found out how to do this 4 years ago but I lost my backups and memory on the matter.

I want this xml to be echoed? out as it is.
When I try the standard echo and print, I get the first two lines of the code in gray when I view the page's source. I get no xml at all.

Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>


<!DOCTYPE blah [

<!ELEMENT cart (title, items)>

<!ELEMENT title (#PCDATA)>

<!ELEMENT items (item)+>

<!ELEMENT item (prive, deprive, onprive+)>

<!ELEMENT security (#PCDATA)>

<!ELEMENT answer (#PCDATA)>

<!ATTLIST answer correct (yeah) #IMPLIED>

]>
this is followed by the standard displaying of xml items

could anyone help me over here?
thanks in advance...

I saw that <?=$var?> instead of <?php echo $var; ?> can be used for echo, does it work on every server?
