MySQL PHP While loop - php

Question

I'm in need of some help. I'm working in dreamweaver and I'm trying to insert values from my MySQL database into a table on my HTML page.
Dreamweaver generated these variables for me from the server behaviours
mysql_select_db($database_connection, $connection);
$query_mwAcc = "SELECT * FROM accounts";
$mwAcc = mysql_query($query_mwAcc, $connection) or die(mysql_error());
$row_mwAcc = mysql_fetch_assoc($mwAcc);
$totalRows_mwAcc = mysql_num_rows($mwAcc);
Now what I need help with is what to put into the while loop for my PHP script, this is what I have so far
<table class="table table-bordered">
<?php while (): ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $row['id'] ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</table>

Answer 1

You need to write your fetch command within the while loop itself.
$query_mwAcc = "SELECT * FROM accounts";
$mwAcc = mysql_query($query_mwAcc, $connection) or die(mysql_error());
while($row_mwAcc = mysql_fetch_assoc($mwAcc)) {
?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $row_mwAcc['id'] ?></td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
</table>

With an update to use PDO you can change the while loop into a foreach on the query result. PDO should be used over mysql_ interface methods, due to deprecation: Why shouldn't I use mysql_* functions in PHP?
<?php
$dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=...;dbname=...', $user, $pass);
$results = $dbh->query('SELECT * FROM accounts');
?>
<table class="table table-bordered">
<?php foreach ($results as $row): ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $row['id'] ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</table>
