PHP - Dynamic Table Names
I think that I am in way over my head here...
What I want is a connection to a bunch of tables at once. (eg: name1_tbl, name2_tbl name3_tbl...etc....) I want to get those names without the "_tbl" from a different table that displays them like this: name1, name2, name3...etc. I THINK i want the end output to be something like this: Code: [Select] <?php $name1 = mysql_query = ('SELECT* FROM name1_tbl ORDER BY user_id DESC'); $name2 = mysql_query = ('SELECT* FROM name2_tbl ORDER BY user_id DESC'); $name3 = mysql_query = ('SELECT* FROM name3_tbl ORDER BY user_id DESC'); // for how ever many there are ?> i just dont know how to get to that point, and dont want to add them manually when a new person and table is added.. I dont know if this makes any sense...if anyone could help it would be much appreciated.. Similar TutorialsOk so I am writing a CMS to wrap around a company script I wrote a while back. I am having trouble requesting dynamic form names. Heres the code to generate the input fields: $fields = mysql_result($result,$i,"fields"); $exFields = explode(",", $fields); for($i = 0; $i < count($exFields); $i++){ echo "$exFields[$i] : <input type=\"text\" name=\"$exFields[$i]\"> <br>"; } Ok so it generates the fields the way I want. (design crap will be done later) But I am having issues on processing the form, for example: Fields get generated -> Client Fills them in -> Submitted into our already built function. The function takes those form values and creates an XDF file with the correct requested values. But like I said I am having issues requesting the form values because they wont be static they will differ depending on each PDF. Can anyone point me in the direction on how to get the form values? I would like to echo field names in my table on webpage one by one. I know mySQL has "describe" function which will list the complete table, I am looking for a way to display each field name one by one with other stuff in between them like input field or description. This serves more or less a meaningless purpose for my testing, but I've been trying to echo out the names of the tables that are being used in my UPDATE and SELECT queries and I have yet found a way to do this.. Did some research on php.net and Google and did not find anything that seems to directly address this.. My guess is it's so stupid simple, I probably will have an answer by the time I wake up.. But id there are any suggestions on this, Id be glad to take. Hello again!
I'm here with another PHP/Mysqli related question, I want to output the data i receive from the Query:
SHOW tables;Into html code, more specific: links. This is what i try'd to do: <div class="container"> <div class="header" align="center"> <nav> <ul> <li><a href="#">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">Databases</a> <ul> <?php $mysqli = new mysqli('localhost','*****','*****','*****'); if ($mysqli->connect_error) { die("Connection failed: " . $mysqli->connect_error); } $sql = 'show tables from osiris1q_mtg'; $result = $mysqli->query($sql); if(!$result = $mysqli->query($sql)){ die('There was an error running the query [' . $mysqli->error . ']'); } // output data of each row while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()){ echo "<li><a href='#'></a>"$row"</li>"; } } else { echo "<li><a href='#'></a>0 results</li>"; } </ul> </li> </ul> </nav> </div> <!-- end .header --> ?>This is the header.php file which is included in the actual index page. This doesn't return anything not even the html parts of it. Even all the files i have 'included' aren't showing up anymore. I hope i explained myself good enough for anyone to understand How Anyone can help me out! Thank you in Advance! Okay, so I'm trying to run a query to pull the information from a specific item that they click on in order to edit it. When I run an echo $query, though, it shows the field names rather than the information from the table. How can I make it so that it pulls the information rather than the field names? Here's what I have... <?php include("lib.php"); define("PAGENAME", "Edit Equipment"); if ($player->access < 100) $msg1 = "<font color=\"red\">"; //name error? $error = 0; $query = $db->execute("SELECT * FROM items WHERE id=?", array($_POST['id'])); echo "$id"; $result = mysql_query($query); echo "$query"; $data = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); $msg1 .= "</font>"; //name error? ?> Thanks!! My Php Buddies, I have mysql tbl columns these:
id: Now, I want to display their row data by excluded a few columns. Want to exclude these columns: date_&_time account_activation_code account_activation_status id_verification_video_file_url password
So, the User's (eg. your's) homepage inside his account should display labels like these where labels match the column names but the underscores are removed and each words' first chars CAPITALISED:
Id: 1
For your convenience only PART 1 works. Need help on Part 2 My attempted code:
PART 1 <?php // Check connection if ($conn->connect_error) { die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error); } // Query to get columns from table $query = $conn->query("SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'members' AND TABLE_NAME = 'users'"); while($row = $query->fetch_assoc()){ $result[] = $row; } // Array of all column names $columnArr = array_column($result, 'COLUMN_NAME'); foreach ($columnArr as $value) { echo "<b>$value</b>: ";?><br><?php } ?> PART 2 <?php //Display User Account Details echo "<h3>User: <a href=\"user.php?user=$user\">$user</a> Details</h3>";?><br> <?php $excluded_columns = array("date_&_time","account_activation_code","account_activation_status","id_verification_video_file_url","password"); foreach ($excluded_columns as $value2) { echo "Excluded Column: <b>$value2</b><br>"; } foreach ($columnArr as $value) { if($value != "$value2") { $label = str_replace("_"," ","$value"); $label = ucwords("$label"); //echo "<b>$label</b>: "; echo "$_SESSION[$value]";?><br><?php echo "<b>$label</b>: "; echo "${$value}";?><br><?php } } ?> PROBLEM: Columns from the excluded list still get displayed. Edited November 19, 2018 by phpsaneHello I am trying to display some results in a while loop, and would prefer to do this in a table instead of just echoing to the screen... This is my code: Code: [Select] while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) { $issue = $row[name]; echo $issue; } Showing these in a single column table would be fine, but not sure how... Thanks Hi, I want to be able to sort table columns dynamically, like clicking on a header arrow? I have no idea where to start. I did a google search and I found lots of pre-made extensions bu not a simple tutorial to get me started. Can you point me in the right direction?

Edited May 31, 2020 by AtakanI have a table in a database that I need to filter upon using dependent select boxes. The database was poorly designed and would be difficult to break into separate tables without affecting code written in other places. I have found some good code and understanding of how to implement the dependent select boxes if you have two tables with one column functioning as a lookup value between the two. I have provided a short bit of sql of what the table looks like with some column names changed. I would need to first sort by lastname and have firstname dependent on the selection of lastname. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So basicly when a customer chooses all the stuff he wants to buy i need it to send me the cart content to my email.
Here si the while loop :
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($query)) { $subtotal=$_SESSION['cart'][$row['product_id']]['quantity']*$row['price']; $totalprice+=$subtotal; ?> <tr> <td><?php echo $row['name'] ?></td> <td><input type="text" name="quantity[<?php echo $row['product_id']?>]" size="5" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['cart'][$row['product_id']]['quantity'] ?>"/></td> <td><?php echo $row['price']?>€</td> <td><?php echo $_SESSION['cart'][$row['product_id']]['quantity']*$row['price']?>€</td> </tr> <?php }So how could i copy the content of the cart that is created in this while loop and send it to email. I used <form action="checkout.php" method="post"> <textarea name="message">Full price: <?php echo $totalprice; ?></textarea> </form>Which send me a total price but i can't figure out how to send all the bought products with it. I am trying to export a dynamically created table (one that has been filtered from user inputs) into a csv file format. I have simplified the database and code for ease of use. I also have generated the export file which will extract all information from the table in the database, but I need the information that is filtered by the user to be extracted. Files are shown below. How might I modify my export.php file (or other files) to accomplish this?

I want to allow users to create their own html forms by choosing different form elements (textfields, textareas, lists, ratios, etc) I guess something similar to http://wufoo.com/ but much more basic. I'm having some trouble deciding which approach I should take. Database tables or files? For tables I was thinking to create a table for each form element, e.g TEXTFIELD TABLE ID TEXTFIELD_NAME USER TEXTAREA TABLE ID TEXTAREA_NAME USER etc for all form elements and then just query all of them with.. WHERE user=$user Or should I generate php files on the server for each form created? Hello,
I have this very frustrating problem I'm trying to make a dynamic table with only 5 columns per row. So every 5 items, I need a new row. I have tried many different examples with no success. What is the best way to approach this? Here is what I am working with, this doesn't show what I have tried, just what I am working with at the moment which of course, just outputs it one column per row. http://www.mesquitew.../inc-legend.php // Lets parse the data $entries = simplexml_load_file($data); if(count($entries)): //Registering NameSpace $entries->registerXPathNamespace('prefix', 'http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'); $result = $entries->xpath("//prefix:entry"); foreach ($result as $entry): $event = $entry->children("cap", true)->event; // Set the alert colors for the legend include ('../inc-NWR-alert-colors.php'); // Lets creat some styles for the list $spanStyle = "background-color:{$alertColor};border:solid 1px #333;width:15px;height:10px;display:inline-block;'> </span><span style='font-size:12px;color:#555;"; $legend .= "<table>"; $legend .= "<tr>"; $legend .= "<td> <span style='$spanStyle'> $event</span></td>"; $legend .= "</tr>"; $legend .= "</table>"; endforeach; endif; echo $legend;-Thanks! Hi, I'm trying to build a 'simple' page to improve a process where I work.
I'm wanting to do this.
Read either the last line, the last 10 lines, or something I decide on from a log and display the output in table rows and columns.
I've done this before with loops and db query's, but don't know how to approach it using php only as this is the first time I'm using it.
So right now I have this in a table but it will only display one row.
<tr><td colspan="5"> I am trying to create a dynamic table that gets generated based upon users birthday, then selection of last name (via a select menu), then first name (via a select menu), Each selection would subsequently filter out items not chosen. i.e. if the last name of Griffin were selected, only those with the last name Griffin would be present when selecting the first name. I have been able to generate the birthday and then last name selection, but I am unclear of how to add the first name into the mix (and any other subsequent filters thereafter) Here is what I as so far. Any help would be appreciated. database sql code: Code: [Select] CREATE TABLE `user` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `firstname` varchar(20) NOT NULL, `lastname` enum('Griffin','Griffin6','Quagmire','Swanson') NOT NULL, `age` int(11) NOT NULL, `hometown` varchar(25) NOT NULL, `job` varchar(25) NOT NULL, `birthdate` date NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=7 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; /*Data for the table `user` */ insert into `user`(`id`,`firstname`,`lastname`,`age`,`hometown`,`job`,`birthdate`) values (1,'Peter','Griffin',41,'Quahog','Brewery','1960-01-01'), (2,'Lois','Griffin',40,'Newport','Piano Teacher','1961-08-11'), (3,'Joseph','Swanson',39,'Quahog','Police Officer','1962-07-23'), (4,'Glenn','Quagmire',41,'Quahog','Pilot','1960-02-28'), (5,'Megan','Griffin',16,'Quahog','Student','1984-04-24'), (6,'Stewie','Griffin',2,'Quahog','Dictator','2008-03-03'); index.php: <?php include('config.php'); //Include the database connections in it's own file, for easy integration in multiple pages. $lastname_result = mysql_query("SELECT lastname FROM user GROUP BY lastname"); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM user"); ?> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <link href="start/jquery-ui-1.8.4.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/></link> <link href="../themes/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print, projection, screen" /></link> <link href="../common.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"></link> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.tablesorter.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-ui-1.8.4.custom.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $("#myTable").tablesorter({widgets: ['zebra']}); $("#options").tablesorter({sortList: [[0,0]], headers: { 3:{sorter: false}, 4:{sorter: false}}}); } ); function reSort(par) { $("#tableBody").empty(); var vfrom = document.getElementById('from').value; var vto = document.getElementById('to').value; $.get('table.list.php?from='+vfrom+'&to='+vto+'&lastname='+par,function(html) { // append the "ajax'd" data to the table body $("#tableBody").append(html); // let the plugin know that we made a update $("#myTable").trigger("update"); // set sorting column and direction, this will sort on the first and third column var sorting = [[0,0]]; // sort on the first column $("#myTable").trigger("sorton",[sorting]); }); } </script> </head> <body> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" class="main"> <tr> <td width="160" valign="top"></td> <td width="732" valign="top"> <table width="90%" border="0" align="center"> <form method="post"> <label for="from">From</label> <input type="text" id="from" name="from"/> <label for="to">to</label> <input type="text" id="to" name="to"/> <?php //added javascript function call to function located in "ajax.js" ?> <select id="selectbox" name="area" onchange="reSort(this.value);"> <?php //added javascript function call to function located in "ajax.js", and changed the id for content change via javascript. ?> <option value="">Select an lastname</option> <option value=""></option> <?php while(list($lastname)=mysql_fetch_array($lastname_result)) { echo "<option value='$lastname'>$lastname</option>"; } ?> </select> </form> </table> <table id="myTable" class="tablesorter" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1"> <thead> <tr> <th>First Name</th> <th>Last Name</th> <th>Age</th> <th>Birthday</th> <th>Hometown</th> <th>Job</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody id="tableBody"> <?php //added id to the tbody so we could change the content via javascript ?> </tbody> </table> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p align="right"> </p> </td> <td width="196" valign="top"> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> table.list.php: <?php include('config.php'); //database connection. if(!isset($_GET['lastname'])) { //if the proper get parameter is not there, redirect to google. header('Location: http://google.com'); exit(); } $lastname = preg_replace('~[^A-Za-z]+~','',$_GET['lastname']); //strip out anything but alpha for the name. $lastname = trim($lastname); //trim the name from all whitespace. if($lastname != '') { //check against an empty string. could have just used "empty()". $where = ' WHERE lastname = \'' . $lastname .

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 =) |
