PHP - User-defined Query To Display Table Of Results

Hello, 
I know this should be pretty simple to figure out, but everything I try is giving me absolutely no results. 
I have a mysql query selecting columns from my database and returning results. I have the results printing out right now, so I can see that this part is working. 

All I want to do is take the results and put them into a table to display on my page. Basically, take what's in the database table and copy it to a table I can put on the web. 

FYI I am using sourcerer so the "connect" code is taken care of for me in the "JFactory" bit of code. Here is the first part of my code, selecting the information from the database. 

{source} 
<?php 
$db = JFactory::getDbo(); 
$query = $db -> getQuery(true); 

$query -> SELECT($db -> quoteName(array('first_dept_name', 'last_name', 'dept', 'position', 'phone_num'))); 
$query -> FROM ($db -> quoteName('#__custom_contacts')); 
$query -> ORDER ('first_dept_name DESC'); 
$query -> WHERE ($db -> quoteName('contact_category')."=".$db -> quote('YTown Employees')); 
$db -> setQuery($query); 
$results = $db -> loadObjectList(); 

print_r($results); 

Here is where I am trying to print the results into a table. I got this code directly from a PHP book, but I am getting nothing at all returned back to me. I get table headers, but no data. 

<?php 

echo "<table><tr><th>Name</th><th>Department</th></tr>"; 

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array ($result)){ 

echo "<tr>"; 

echo "<td>".$row['last_name']."</td>"; 

echo "<td>".$row['dept']."</td>"; 

echo "</tr>"; 

} 

echo "</table>"; 

?> 
{/source}

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! Pls help!

Thanks.

OK, Here is the code

$sql = "SELECT

// Create the contents of the table.
for( $i = 0; $i < $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); $i++){




echo "<tr>\n"
        ."<td>".$row["Trial"]."</td>\n" 
        ."<td>".$row["Class"]."</td>\n"

echo "</TABLE>";


Here is the output, I added the TrialID & ClassID for informational purposes, they do not need to be displayed in the live table.

Below is what I would like to generate. How do I word or nest the proper PHP code/loops to accomplish this?

Hello all,

I have made the multi level marketing downline tree, but the problem with it now, it gives only the downline of one result, as the query gives 2 results
what I want now is to make it give the downline of both results not just one, and it's always 2 results, not more

here is my code

Code: [Select]

Hey all.

I have a query that selects data from a datbase based on a criteria.  Easy enough.   But now I am growing and the amount displaying is too much.

How can you, via php, have a queries result be displayed only so many at a time and auto create links that show the rest?  Like if query returns 82 results, I want it to display 25 immediately and create 3 links at the bottom.  The next link would show 26-50.  The next 51-75.  And the final 76-82.  etc

Example:
Code: [Select]
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM pay");
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);


while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
echo $row['first_name'];
echo $row['last_name'];
echo $row['item_name'];
echo $row['option_selection1'];
echo $row['payment_date'];
echo $row['stat'];
}


This is simple.  But what happens when the results are 125?  I want to limit it to displaying 25 at a time.

Is the only way to manually create seperate pages and have each one show 1-25, then 26-50, etc?

Or is there a way to have the script do it, itself?  Any tutorials out there on this specifically?  Hopefully I am making sense.

Thanks!
