How to create HTML table from multiple inputs from user? - php

Question

I have created simple html form which has two major inputs:
Checkbox for multiple choices (for info: user can select multiple districts)
radio button for single input (for info: user after marking the checkbox in step one will now chose another only one input)
after this Table should be generated:
Note: Multiple tables have same column name so that the displayed table will include the merged data for selected district names
Till now, I have created table for only one district i.e. for individual district. (my database resides in PostgreSQL)
This is database connection for my Table:
$db = pg_connect('host=localhost port=5433 dbname=MergedDB user=postgres password=admin');
I have two array for my table:-
$userclass = array('0-5','6-10','11-15', '>15','Total');
$btotal = array();
The query fetching code is:-
$query = " select * from "Arscenic_Test"
.
.
.
/* some query here*/";
$btresult = pg_query($db, $query);
while($btresults = pg_fetch_row($btresult)){
$count = count($btresults);
$y = 0;
while ($y < $count)
{
$c_row = current($btresults);
$btotal[] = $c_row;
next($btresults);
$y = $y + 1;
}
}
And my HTML table is:-
<?php
for($i=0; $i<5; $i++){
?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $userclass[$i];?></td>
<td><?php echo $btotal[$i];?></td>
<td><?php echo $perb10[$i];?></td>
<td><?php echo $bettotal[$i];?></td>
<td><?php echo $pbet[$i];?></td>
<td><?php echo $b51_100total[$i];?></td>
<td><?php echo $pb51_100[$i];?></td>
<td><?php echo $bt101_300total[$i];?></td>
<td><?php echo $pb101_300[$i];?></td>
<td><?php echo $abov300total[$i];?></td>
<td><?php echo $pabov300[$i];?></td>
<td><?php echo $total[$i];?></td>
<td><?php echo $ptotal[$i];?></td>
</tr>
How to give User a multiple choices and generate the table as per his inputs?

Answer 1

First of all fetch all the districts from the database and render it to the html table. Then you can choose different district from drop-down menu.
Sample Code:
<?php
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","nalin","nalin123","my_db");
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT district FROM District");
echo "<table border='1'>
<tr>
<th>District</th>
</tr>";
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row['district'] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
mysqli_close($con);
?>
