Multidimensional PHP array from a MySQLi table to HTML table - php

Question

I have a portion of my website where I can give awards to members. Right now I am working on creating individual description pages for each award. On that page I want to include which members have already received this award and display this data in an HTML table.
I have already passed the data into a Multidimensional array as seen below.
<?php
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
$currentAward = $awardid; // Current Page Award. Local value to the page.
$result = $conn->query("SELECT * FROM vms_awardsgranted WHERE awardid='$currentAward'");
$awardsList = array();
while($pilotsList = $result->fetch_assoc()){
$awardsList[ $pilotsList["id"] ] = $pilotsList;
}
echo nl2br("DEBUG: $currentAward \n");
print_r(array_values($awardsList));
$conn->close();
?>
Example Result
DEBUG: 8
Array ( [0] => Array ( [id] => 28 [awardid] => 8 [pilotid] => 4 [dateissued] => 2015-10-14 20:12:21 ) [1] => Array ( [id] => 32 [awardid] => 8 [pilotid] => 1 [dateissued] => 2015-10-14 20:14:14 ) )
From here I am trying to parse this info and add it into the HTML table below but I honestly can't find the correct way of doing this with a Multidimensional array. Can anyone out here give me some insight? My HTML tables looks like below.
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="ocean_table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Pilot ID</th>
<th>Pilot Name</th>
<th>Date Awarded</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="center">
</td>
<td align="center">
</td>
<td align="center">
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Answer 1

Basically, to loop through the result, your code could look like this:
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="ocean_table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Pilot ID</th>
<th>Pilot Name</th>
<th>Date Awarded</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php foreach($awardsList as $member):?>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<?=$pilot['pilotid']?>
</td>
<td align="center">
</td>
<td align="center">
<?=$pilot['dateissued']?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach;?>
</tbody>
</table>
A couple of remarks, though.
You don't return the pilot name from the query. You should join on the table of members/pilots to get their name.
Your naming is confusing. $pilotList suggests a list of pilots, but instead that variable contains only the reference/junction between the award and one pilot. Dito for awardsList which actually contains a list of people that won the award.

Answer 2

Something like
<tbody>
<?php foreach($awardsList as $record){ ?>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<?php echo $record['id']; ?>
</td>
<td align="center">
<?php echo $record['awardid']; ?>
</td>
<td align="center">
<?php echo $record['pilotid']; ?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
</tbody>
