Repeating Titles in headers when storing SQL data in table - php

Question

When trying to display a table which has SQL data present, the rows at the top of the table are repeating, which I do not want to happen! I know it is probably something stupid but I've tried for a while to solve this and can't. Images outline the code which I used, and the output which is displayed

Answer 1

Write the first <tr></tr> before while
like this :
echo "<table>";
echo "<tr>
<th>albul Name</th>
..
..
..
</tr>";
while($album=$stmt->fetchObject()) {
echo "<tr>
<td>$album->$album_name
...
...
</tr>";
}

Answer 2

The issue is you're echoing your Header row inside of your WHILE loop, so you're writing the header for each iteration of the loop.
To fix, move the header row out of your loop like this:
echo "<table><tr>
<th>album Name</th>
<th>Year</th>
<th>Genre</th>
<th>Artist Name</th>
<th>Total Running Time</th>
</tr>"
while ($album = $stmt->fetchObject()) {
//Display the data as a row.
echo "<tr>
<td>$album->album_name</td>
<td>$album->year</td>
<td>$album->genre</td>
<td>$album->artist_name</td>
<td>$album->total_time</td>
</tr>"
}//end loop
echo "</table>";

Answer 3

When you're looking at something for too long you just can't see it anymore. Just take your tags out of the while loop. You only need to the data rows in the loop.

Answer 4

Take the code out of the WHILE loop.
The first row and should be before the loop code starts

Answer 5

you need change your code is firts set your struture html table and next php code:
<?php
echo"
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>ALBUM</td>
<td>YEAR</td>
<td>GENERE</td>
<td>ARTIST</td>
<td>TOTAL PLAYING TIME</td>
</tr>
";
now you need print your records from db
while($album=$stmt->fetchObject()) {
echo "<tr>
<td>$album->$album_name</td>
<td>$album->$year</td>
<td>$album->$genre</td>
<td>$album->$artist_name</td>
<td>$album->$total_time</td>
</tr>";
}//end while
all code is this:
<?php
echo"
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>ALBUM</td>
<td>YEAR</td>
<td>GENERE</td>
<td>ARTIST</td>
<td>TOTAL PLAYING TIME</td>
</tr>
";
while($album=$stmt->fetchObject()) {
echo "<tr>
<td>$album->$album_name</td>
<td>$album->$year</td>
<td>$album->$genre</td>
<td>$album->$artist_name</td>
<td>$album->$total_time</td>
</tr>";
}//end while
