PHP While HTML Table - php

Question

I am trying to get my code to display in an HTML table using the while loop. However, I can't get my table to display. Is there something wrong with the way I am trying to echo the table out?
<?php
#-----call includes-----# include('E:/includes/database.php');
include('E:/includes/sendmail.php');
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
ini_set('display_errors','on');
$do = $_REQUEST['do'];
$queryOrders = "select t2.SlpName As 'Seller', t1.SWW As 'Vendor', t0.DocDate As 'Date',t0.DocTotal As 'Total'
from twh.dbo.OINV t0
inner join twh.dbo.inv1 t1 on t0.DocEntry = t1.DocEntry
inner join twh.dbo.OSLP t2 on t1.SlpCode = t2.SlpCode
where t0.DocDate > DATEADD (month, -2, getdate())
order by t0.DocTotal desc";
$resultItemData = sqlsrv_query($con, $queryOrders);
echo "<table border=\"1\" align=\"center\">";
echo "<tr><th>Seller</th>";
echo "<th>Vendor</th>";
echo "<th>Date</th>";
echo "<th>Total</th></tr>"
while($rowItemData = sqlsrv_fetch_array($resultItemData)){
echo "<tr><td>";
echo "$resultItemData";
echo "</td></tr>";
endwhile;
}
echo"</table>";

Answer 1

Modified a little bit. Check this:
while($rowItemData = sqlsrv_fetch_array($resultItemData)) :
echo "<tr><td>";
echo $rowItemData[ColumnValue]; //In your code, didn't access the column value earlier
echo "</td></tr>";
endwhile;

Answer 2

There's a combination of problems at play:
First, you open the while with {, but close with endwhile; - while technically not a problem, it's not consistent - if you open with {, it's best practice to close with }.
Second, you're attempting to echo an entire array, which won't work properly.
Third, no need to put the value inside of quotes: echo "$resultItemData"; could simply be echo $resultItemData.
Fourth, you're attempting to echo $resultItemData, which is a resource, not the row data. You want to echo $rowItemData values.
And finally, you'll likely want the results in an associative array, rather than a numerically-indexed array, so you might consider using sqlsrv_fetch_array( $resultItemData, SQLSRV_FETCH_ASSOC).
Below is your code, revised to work, and follow a bit better practices:
// columns: 'Seller',Vendor, 'Date', 'Total'
while( $rowItemData = sqlsrv_fetch_array( $resultItemData, SQLSRV_FETCH_ASSOC ) ) {
echo "<tr><td>";
echo "<td>$rowItemData['Seller']</td>";
echo "<td>$rowItemData['Vendor']</td>";
echo "<td>$rowItemData['Date']</td>";
echo "<td>$rowItemData['Total']</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}

Answer 3

You should specify the indexes of the array $rowitemdata.
For example:
echo"<tr><td>".$rowitemdata['Vendor']."

Answer 4

I haven't gone through your full code, but I can see wrong syntax for while
while($rowItemData = sqlsrv_fetch_array($resultItemData)){
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>".$resultItemData['Seller']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$resultItemData['Vendor']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$resultItemData['Date']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$resultItemData['Total']."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
or
while($rowItemData = sqlsrv_fetch_array($resultItemData)) :
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>".$resultItemData['Seller']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$resultItemData['Vendor']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$resultItemData['Date']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$resultItemData['Total']."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
endwhile;
Update:
still you can optimize the code, I just gave sample working

Let's assume your query actually produces a result, because you don't check that it does:
$resultItemData = sqlsrv_query($con, $queryOrders);
$header = <<<HEREDOC
<table border="1" align="center">
<tr>
<th>Seller</th>
<th>Vendor</th>
<th>Date</th>
<th>Total</th>
</tr>
HEREDOC;
echo $header;
while($rowItemData = sqlsrv_fetch_array($resultItemData)) {
echo "<tr>
<td>{$rowItemData['Seller']}</td>
<td>{$rowItemData['Vendor']}</td>
<td>{$rowItemData['Date']}</td>
<td>{$rowItemData['Total']}</td>
</tr>";
}
echo '</table>';
To actually check that the query works, you might want to do this instead. This is just to debug/illustrate error checking for the query execution. You wouldn't want to output an error to the screen, but rather log it. You probably want to just output the table header/footer and skip the while/loop entirely.
$resultItemData = sqlsrv_query($con, $queryOrders);
if (resultItemData === false) {
die(print_r(sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
