PHP - Display Query Results In Table.

I have no clue about to go abt this one:
I have  form which has some:
Code: [Select]
<table>
   <tr>
     <td>
        <form>
         Title
        display info
         </form>
     </td>
   </tr>
</table>
I need to add an additional link next to title such that when someone clicks on the link the table expands and displays rsult of a query.

Code: [Select]
<table>
   <tr>
     <td>
        <form>
         Title          LINK
         if( link is clicked )
        {
           $query=select
           display query results
        }
        else
       {
         dont display query results
         display info
       }
         </form>
     </td>
   </tr>
</table>

 

Say a user puts in a support request, and for every request it generates a unqiue string, and enters it into the database.

Ok, now say there is a text field, when the user enters their unique string and it finds a match, it displays the data along with it.

How can I accomplish this? Im kind of new to mysql, but I know basic SQL.

Would be great if somebody could point me in the right direction!

Thanks

In an .html, before : <!-- BEGIN myquery -->

I need to stop output and check the content of "myquery"

Is there a command for that ?

Thank You.

Hi

I have the following code:

Code: [Select]
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM xbox_games order by gameid");
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
$id = $row["gameid"];
$title = $row["gametitle"];
$cover = $row["cover"];

                                <?php echo $title;?>

Which displays only the first result from my database.

How can i change this to display all the results either as a list, or in a table?

Thanks

Hey Everyone,
I'm creating a site that will show images uploaded for certain days working on a job site. Kind of a day-to-day photo journal for the customer. On the site, the user gets here, sees 3 large images, and a series of thumbnails if more than 3 images exist for that day (works fine).
However, underneath that I want to display a 3-4 column setup of "Archived Dates" that provide a link to the images of the other dates. I have this working correctly, but the results are displayed as follows:

Date 1: Date 2: Date 3:

etc....

I want them to display like this;
Day 1 Day 4
Day 2 Day 5
Day 3 Day 6

and so on..... in a 3 column format. Here is the code I have right now just looping through to display these link results, not the rest of the page. I am trying to do it tableless right now, but if that isn't the right way to go, please let me know.
Thanks to anyone in advance,
Nick

Hello all,   Based on the suggestion of you wonderful folks here, I went away for a few days (to learn about PDO and Prepared Statements) in order to replace the MySQLi commands in my code. That's gone pretty well thus far...with me having learnt and successfully replaced most of my "bad" code with elegant, SQL-Injection-proof code (or so I hope).   The one-and-only problem I'm having (for now at least) is that I'm having trouble understanding how to execute an UPDATE query within the resultset of a SELECT query (using PDO and prepared statements, of course).   Let me explain (my scenario), and since a picture speaks a thousand words I've also inlcuded a screenshot to show you guys my setup:   In my table I have two columns (which are essentially flags i.e. Y/N), one for "items alreay purchased" and the other for "items to be purchased later". The first flag, if/when set ON (Y) will highlight row(s) in red...and the second flag will highlight row(s) in blue (when set ON).   I initially had four buttons, two each for setting the flags/columns to "Y", and another two to reverse the columns/flags to "N". That was when I had my delete functionality as a separate operation on a separate tab/list item, and that was fine.   Now that I've realized I can include both operations (update and delete) on just the one tab, I've also figured it would be better to pare down those four buttons (into just two), and set them up as a toggle feature i.e. if the value is currently "Y" then the button will set it to "N", and vice versa.   So, looking at my attached picture, if a person selects (using the checkboxes) the first four rows and clicks the first button (labeled "Toggle selected items as Purchased/Not Purchased") then the following must happen:   1. The purchased_flag for rows # 2 and 4 must be switched OFF (set to N)...so they will no longer be highlighted in red. 2. The purchased_flag for row # 3 must be switched ON (set to Y)...so that row will now be highlighted in red. 3. Nothing must be done to rows # 1 and 5 since: a) row 5 was not selected/checked to begin with, and b) row # 1 has its purchase_later_flag set ON (to Y), so it must be skipped over.   Looking at my code below, I'm guessing (and here's where I need the help) that there's something wrong in the code within the section that says "/*** loop through the results/collection of checked items ***/". I've probably made it more complex than it should be, and that's due to the fact that I have no idea what I'm doing (or rather, how I should be doing it), and this has driven me insane for the last 2 days...which prompted me to "throw in the towel" and seek the help of you very helpful and intellegent folks. BTW, I am a newbie at this, so if I could be provided the exact code, that would be most wonderful, and much highly appreciated.   Thanks to you folks, I'm feeling real good (with a great sense of achievement) after having come here and got the great advice to learn PDO and prepared statements.   Just this one nasty little hurdle is stopping me from getting to "end-of-job" on my very first WebApp. BTW, sorry about the long post...this is the best/only way I could clearly explaing my situation.   Cheers guys!

case "update-delete":
	if(isset($_POST['highlight-purchased'])) 
		{
			// ****** Setup customized query to obtain only items that are checked ******
			$sql = "SELECT * FROM shoplist WHERE";
					for($i=0; $i < count($_POST['checkboxes']); $i++)
						{
							$sql=$sql . " idnumber=" . $_POST['checkboxes'][$i] . " or";
						}
					$sql= rtrim($sql, "or");
											
			$statement = $conn->prepare($sql);
			$statement->execute();
																						
			// *** fetch results for all checked items (1st query) *** //
			$result = $statement->fetchAll();

			$statement->closeCursor();
											
			// Setup query that will change the purchased flag to "N", if it's currently set to "Y"
			$sqlSetToN = "UPDATE shoplist SET purchased = 'N' WHERE purchased = 'Y'";
											
			// Setup query that will change the purchased flag to "Y", if it's currently set to "N", "", or NULL
			$sqlSetToY = "UPDATE shoplist SET purchased = 'Y' WHERE purchased = 'N' OR purchased = '' OR purchased IS NULL";

			$statementSetToN = $conn->prepare($sqlSetToN);
			$statementSetToY = $conn->prepare($sqlSetToY);
											
			/*** loop through the results/collection of checked items ***/
			foreach($result as $row)
				{
					if ($row["purchased"] != "Y")

							// *** fetch one row at a time pertaining to the 2nd query *** //
							$resultSetToY = $statementSetToY->fetch();

What would be the correct way to close a mysql query?

At current the second query below returns results from the 1st query AND the 2nd query
The 3rd query returns results from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd query.

At the moment I get somthing returned along the lines of...

Can someone please give me some ideas as to what might be wrong with this query...I keep getting no result and am echoing $count for debugging (and usernames and passwords) but get nothing for $count (expecting a 0 or a 1) or $dbusername or $dbpassword

$sql="SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `User name` = '$fusername' and `Password` = '$fpassword'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);

$dbusername=mysql_result($result,0,"User name");
$dbpassword=mysql_result($result,0,"Password");

echo $dbusername;
echo $dbpassword;


// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);

// If result matched $fusername and $fpassword, table row must be 1 row

echo $fusername;
echo $fpassword;
echo $count;

if($count==1){                                               (This is where I keep going to the else)

quick question,
I have this code that returns over 100 buttons:
Code: [Select]
        <?php
// Query member data from the database and ready it for display
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM products");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
$product = $row["product"];
$id =$row["id"];
$price =$row["price"];

?>
    <div id="products">
      <form action="" method="POST" name="myform<?php echo $id; ?>" class="myform<?php echo $id; ?>">
        <input type="hidden" name="hiddenField" class="hiddenField" value="<?php echo $product; ?>" />
        <input type="hidden" name="hiddenField2" class="hiddenField2" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" />
        <input type="hidden" name="hiddenField1" class="hiddenField1" value="<?php echo $price; ?>" />
      <input type="submit" name="submit" class="submit" value="<?php echo $product; ?>" style="background-color:lightgreen; height:50px; width:100px;">   </form>
    </div>   
<?php

}
?>
What I would like is for the buttons to form columns of nine. ie 9 buttons in a column then a new column form....  how do I do this?

Hello,

this is my query code

what it should do is output both the min and the max values like this

echo "<tr>";
echo "<td style='background-color:#F90'>Max Length:</td>";
echo "<td>" . number_format($mm_wsi_row['yards']) . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $dayswam . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
 if($mm_wsi_row['lrank'] == 1){
if ($mm_wsi_row['date'] == "0000-00-00"){$dayswam = "";}else{$dayswam = $mm_wsi_row['date'];}

echo "<td style='background-color:#FF9'>" . $dayswam . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
?>
the problem is that it doesn't work right all the time for some it just shows the min while others it just shows max I've tested the query in MySQL workbench so i know that that is working right but idk why it works right for some and doesn't work for others

Hello all,

I am new here so thank you in advance for all of your help. I am writing a pretty simple search script to display data from a table however have run into a snag. Things seem to get complicated all by themselves.

I have a drop down to select the predetermined search criteria, because the data has either a 'Y'es or 'N'o. For example there are 50 or so products/brands with ingredients/categories in them.

i.e.    Brand X contains Sugar=Y, Salt=Y, Vinegar=N
   Brand Y contains Sugar=N, Salt=N, Vinegar=N
   Brand Z contains Sugar=Y, Salt=Y, Vinegar=Y
   Brand A contains Sugar=N, Salt=N, Vinegar=Y

I want to display the brands that contain only the selected ingredients. I have added check boxes for the user to select. This runs ok however the return is more of a broader result and requires too much interpretation from the user.

i.e.   If I want to know which brands contain only salt and vinegar

   ??BRAND??= Sugar=N, Salt=Y, Vinegar=Y
   or
   ??BRAND??= Salt=Y, Vinegar=Y

The return comes back:
   Brand X contains Sugar=Y, Salt=Y, Vinegar=N
   Brand Z contains Sugar=Y, Salt=Y, Vinegar=Y
   Brand A contains Sugar=N, Salt=N, Vinegar=Y

Ideally the return Should only be:
   
   Brand Z contains Sugar=Y, Salt=Y, Vinegar=Y

I believe the else if statement would work, I just have no knowledge of where to put it or how it would work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
   

Below is my query which works fine:

 $query = "
          SELECT st.CourseId, c.CourseName, st.Year, st.StudentUsername, st.StudentForename, st.StudentSurname,
          s.ModuleId, m.ModuleName, m.Credits, s.SessionId, s.SessionWeight, gr.Mark, gr.Grade
          FROM Course c
          INNER JOIN Student st ON c.CourseId = st.CourseId
          JOIN Grade_Report gr ON st.StudentId = gr.StudentId
          JOIN Session s ON gr.SessionId = s.SessionId
          JOIN Module m ON s.ModuleId = m.ModuleId
          WHERE
          (st.StudentUsername = '".mysql_real_escape_string($studentid)."')
          ";

Below is my results outputted by using php:

    Course: INFO101 - Bsc Information Communication Technology Year: 3
    Student: Mayur Patel (u0867587)
   
    Module: CHI2550 - Modern Database Applications
    Session: AAB 72 (A)
   
    Course: INFO101 - Bsc Information Communication Technology Year: 3
    Student: Mayur Patel (u0867587)
   
    Module: CHI2513 - Systems Strategy
    Session: AAD 61 (B)
   
    Course: INFO101 - Bsc Information Communication Technology Year: 3
    Student: Mayur Patel (u0867587)
   
    Module: CHI2550 - Modern Database Applications
    Session: AAE 67 (B)

How do I display it using php so that it only shows Course details and Student details only once, it will show each module in the course only once and shows each session being below each module it belongs to:

The output from above should look like this in other words:

     Course: INFO101 - Bsc Information Communication Technology Year: 3
        Student: Mayur Patel (u0867587)
       
        Module: CHI2550 - Modern Database Applications
        Session: AAB 72 (A)
        Session: AAE 67 (B)
       
        Module: CHI2513 - Systems Strategy
        Session: AAD 61 (B)


PHP code to output the results:

    $output1 = "";
   
            while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { //$result is the query
              
        $output1 .= "
             <p><strong>Course:</strong> {$row['CourseId']} - {$row['CourseName']} <strong>Year:</strong> {$row['Year']}<br/>
              <strong>Student:</strong> {$row['StudentForename']} {$row['StudentSurname']} ({$row['StudentUsername']})
              </p>";
             
        $output1 .= "     
        <p><strong>Module:</strong> {$row['ModuleId']} - {$row['ModuleName']} <br/>
              <strong>Session:</strong> {$row['SessionId']} {$row['Mark']} ({$row['Grade']})
              </p>";
                }
               
                echo $output1;

Thank You
