PHP - Cant Get Table To Show Up In Html Area
Here is my code.
$display_block .= " <P>Showing posts for the <strong>$topic_title</strong> topic:</p> <table width=100% cellpadding=3 cellspacing=1 border=1> <tr> <th>AUTHOR</th> <th>POST</th> </tr>"; while ($posts_info = mysql_fetch_array($get_posts_res)) { $post_id = $posts_info['post_id']; $post_text = nl2br(stripslashes($posts_info['post_text'])); $post_create_time = $posts_info['fmt_post_create_time']; $post_owner = stripslashes($posts_info['post_owner']); //add to display $display_block .= " <tr> <td width=35% valign=top>$post_owner<br>[$post_create_time]</td> <td width=65% valign=top>$post_text<br><br> <a href=\"replytopost.php?post_id=$post_id\"><strong>REPLY TO POST</strong></a></td> </tr>"; } //close up the table $display_block .= "</table>"; } ?> <html> <head> <title>Posts in Topic</title> </head> <body> <h1>Posts in Topic</h1> <?php print $dislplay_block; ?> </body> </html> Similar TutorialsHI All, I have noticed that when people show database structure on forums like this one, they have it as a table, like the following:
How do you create this? Hello, i'm trying to query mysql to show table contents, my code so far is this: Code: [Select] mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password); @mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database"); $query="SELECT * FROM codes"; $result=mysql_query($query); $num=mysql_numrows($result); mysql_close(); to show content: Code: [Select] <?php $i=0; while ($i < $num) { $f1=mysql_result($result,$i,"id"); $f2=mysql_result($result,$i,"code"); $f3=mysql_result($result,$i,"secret"); $f4=mysql_result($result,$i,"date"); $f5=mysql_result($result,$i,"ip"); ?> <tr> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php echo $f1; ?></font></td> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php echo $f2; ?></font></td> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php echo $f3; ?></font></td> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php echo $f4; ?></font></td> <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php echo $f5; ?></font></td> </tr>Now this shows all the content from the table, what i want to have is 2 scripts which should work like this: Script1 to show table contents: ID1, ID2, ID4, ID5, ID7, ID8 and so on. Script2 to show table contents: ID3, ID6, ID9 and so on. Basically one that shows only every 3rd and skips 1 and 2, and another one that skips every 3rd. Is this possible ? Thanks ! Can someone please tell me how to use the "SHOW FIELDS FROM $mytable" in php? I understand how the MySql works but need to get these fields back into an array in php. That is the part I am strruggling with.. I normally return rows of data from my table and use a while loop. Hi all, I am trying to make a members details section that can be updated. I want to be able to "SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='$email'" and then show the values that can be changed in a html drop down box with the selection that was made when the user registered already selected="selected"; You will be able to see what I am attempting to do below. <?php $sql = "SELECT manufacturer FROM table1 WHERE email=$'email'"; $result = mysqli_query($cxn,$sql); $row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result); foreach manufacturer in table1 { if table1.manufacturer = table2.manufacturer { echo '<option name="manufacturer" selected="selected" value"$row['manufacturer']"</option>'; } else { echo '<option name="manufacturer" value"$row['manufacturer']"</option>'; } } ?> hi, Instead giving its default on "Choose Process", I would like to display its process based on the value in database. How can I do it?

Any help are appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards, Juz [attachment deleted by admin] Hi, okee so I'm new to everything that has to do with scripting, especially when it comes to PHP and stuff, but what is the best way to display information from a table on a page? I'm creating this site where users can post their events, but I want the Location to be based on the Location they inserted during the registration process, so that the location will be displayed directly. How am I able to do that? I've already got an login script, it looks like this: Code: [Select] <?php ob_start(); $host="localhost"; // Host name $username="root"; // Mysql username $password=""; // Mysql password $db_name="whats_happening_db"; // Database name $tbl_name="members"; // Table name // Connect to server and select databse. mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB"); // Define $myusername and $mypassword $myusername=$_POST['myusername']; $mypassword=$_POST['mypassword']; // To protect MySQL injection (more detail about MySQL injection) $myusername = stripslashes($myusername); $mypassword = stripslashes($mypassword); $myusername = mysql_real_escape_string($myusername); $mypassword = mysql_real_escape_string($mypassword); $sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'"; $result=mysql_query($sql); // Mysql_num_row is counting table row $count=mysql_num_rows($result); // If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row if($count==1){ // Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php" session_register("myusername"); session_register("mypassword"); header("location:membersarea.php?user=$myusername"); } else { echo "Wrong Username or Password"; } ob_end_flush(); ?> Sorry if my English is terrible haha. Dante. Hello Guys.
I am having a trouble viewing a specific column content both in phpMyAdmin and console.It only shows a partial info about the contents inside that column.
I have attached a screenshot of this to give you a demonstration inside that link:
http://i59.tinypic.com/2n6ymqf.jpg
as you can see , the user picked hamburger ,steak and ground beef (and some more), but it seems that it stops showing it right in the middle of the word. Is there any limit for characters in this case?
What would be possible to figure that out please?
Thanks in advance..
Edited by osherdo, 17 December 2014 - 09:11 PM. Hello, i am coding a backend portal, this portal will have staff members lets call them 'M1' and each staff member will have a client 'C1' What is the best way to put this into a database? do i have a table for Staff? then a seperate table for Members? or one table consisting of staff, with the members details written into the staff's row? I need to copy a table from one code to another. But I couldn't figure out how to do it properly. Just tried to copy code from one file to another but it doesn't work the same. I need to find where to change the code to show right columns.
https://easyupload.io/maoa9h - zipped cart.php (original code with right table) and review.php (the one that doesn't show right table)
We need to copy the table from cart.php: But it doesn't work. The quantity column doesn't show in review.php - as you can see here https://ibb.co/brP0yy1 I´ve reached to

View profile.jpg for example example - <option value="3" <?php if (!empty($religion_id) && $religion_id == '3') echo 'selected = "selected"'; ?>>Hinduism</option> In fact, these names can be found in another table called religion.sql, but I hard coded it anyway, without using loop (while function), since there are only 8 names Code: [Select] <!--Religion--> <tr> <td class="label">Religion:</td> <td> <select id="religion_id" name="religion_id"> <option value="1" <?php if (!empty($religion_id) && $religion_id == '1') echo 'selected = "selected"'; ?>>Buddhism</option> <option value="2" <?php if (!empty($religion_id) && $religion_id == '2') echo 'selected = "selected"'; ?>>Christianity</option> <option value="3" <?php if (!empty($religion_id) && $religion_id == '3') echo 'selected = "selected"'; ?>>Hinduism</option> <option value="4" <?php if (!empty($religion_id) && $religion_id == '4') echo 'selected = "selected"'; ?>>Islam</option> <option value="5" <?php if (!empty($religion_id) && $religion_id == '5') echo 'selected = "selected"'; ?>>Taoism</option> <option value="6" <?php if (!empty($religion_id) && $religion_id == '6') echo 'selected = "selected"'; ?>>Others</option> </select> </td> </tr> Currently I am facing an issue, I guess I will need to use looping, as there are 22 names in another table which I will need to call forth, tutor_educational_level.sql, and the number of names get more and more in other tables. My question is, how do I pull out the entire list of names into a drop down box and yet showing the selected name which the user has chosen, more elaboration can be seen in profile.jpg. In profile.jpg - as you can see the list of names are shown in the drop down box and the system is able to decipher the chosen name. Another Example 1) N level 2) O level 3) A level 4) University User selected '3', which is A level, and system would still show the list of educational_names in a drop down box,, but selecting A level as the one to appear. Example 1) N level 2) O level 3) A level (selected) 4) University It should have the same overall result as the religion which I have stated above, however this time round, it is using looping function (while) to retrieve the entire list of names, select and show the name which the user has chosen Below is my code, and I know it is wrong, but generally would like to relate my idea across. Code: [Select] <?php <!--Teaching Credentials--> <tr> <td class="label">Teaching Credentials:</td> <td> <?php echo '<select name="educational_level" id="educational_level">'; $dbc = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME) or die(mysqli_error($dbc)); $query = "SELECT tp.educational_id, el.educational_name AS educational_name, el.educational_id AS list_educational_id " .
