PHP - Please Help With Dynamic Table Sorting

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..

i'm trying to achive this results layout: 

example:
                     catagory
                           comment
                           comment
                           comment
                     catagory
                     catagory
                     catagory
                           comment

what is being pulled now is if their is 2 comments two 1 catagory then 2 catagorys are being returned with the same id. what i want is to return one cataogry with many comments.

thanks in advance for your help.

Code: [Select]

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!

I 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.

Code: [Select]
create table `user` (
`id` int(3) Not Null Auto_increment,
`firstname` varchar (60),
`lastname` varchar (24),
`age` double ,
`hometown` varchar (75),
`job` varchar (75),
`birthdate` date
);
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');

Please help me with some guidance. 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?

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?

Thanks in Advance


export.php

Hello I want product filter groups by category.

There will be different options.

Ex: http://prntscr.com/sr00ay

Product Table : http://prntscr.com/sr00rm

Option Groups Table : http://prntscr.com/sr013r

Options Table : http://prntscr.com/sr01fk

Product Option Table : http://prntscr.com/sr01r3

How can I build this structure? And how should it be sql for filtering? Is the structure correct? I'm waiting for your help.

Edited May 31, 2020 by Atakan

I am trying to create a dynamic table that gets generated based upon users selection of last name (via a select menu) as well as the ability to filter all the table contents between two ages.  Additionally, I would like the ability to select all last names between two ages as well.  Each item I would hope to have a onchange command.

Thanks in advance for any help on the above items.

and here is the sql code to generate a test database.
Code: [Select]
CREATE DATABASE /*!32312 IF NOT EXISTS*/`test` /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 */;

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `user`;

CREATE TABLE `user` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `firstname` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
  `lastname` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
  `age` int(3) NOT NULL,
  `hometown` varchar(25) NOT NULL,
  `job` varchar(25) 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`) values
(1,'Peter','Griffin',41,'Quahog','Brewery'),
(2,'Lois','Griffin',40,'Newport','Piano Teacher'),
(3,'Joseph','Swanson',39,'Quahog','Police Officer'),
(4,'Glenn','Quagmire',41,'Quahog','Pilot'),

Hi guys, i have a shopping cart made in php, now it works very well but i have a problem with sending its content to my email. 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 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");

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">

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 =)
