How to generate HTML table with nested loop? - php

Question

I have a table that should look like the following:
http://hell-rider.de/Fotos/img/beispiel-1.JPG
I have the following PHP script:
foreach ($xml->result->rowset->row as $row){
if($row{'refTypeID'} == 42){
echo '<tr>';
echo "<th>";
echo $row{'date'};
echo "</th>";
echo "<th>";
echo '' . $row{'ownerName1'} .'';
echo "</th>";
echo "<th>";
foreach ($allgemeinxml->result->rowset->row as $type){
echo '' . $type{'typeName'} .'';
}
echo "</th>";
echo "<th>";
echo '<p class="minus">' . $row{'amount'} .' ISK</p>';
echo "</th>";
echo "<th>";
echo '<p class="kontostand">' . $row{'balance'} . ' ISK</p>';
echo "</th>";
echo '</tr>';
}
}
echo "</table>";
The actual output of my script is the following, however:

How do I have to change my script to populate the third column correctly (and not with MetallurgyTradeLaboratory OperationLaboratory OperationLaboratory OperationResearchCybernetics)?

Answer 1

<th> tags are for header cells, you should be using <td> data cells.
$types = array();
foreach ($allgemeinxml->result->rowset->row as $type){
$types[] = $type{'typeName'};
}
$type_index = 0;
foreach ($xml->result->rowset->row as $row){
if($row{'refTypeID'} == 42){
echo '<tr>';
echo "<td>";
echo $row{'date'};
echo "</td>";
echo "<td>";
echo '' . $row{'ownerName1'} .'';
echo "</td>";
echo "<td>";
echo $types[$type_index];
echo "</td>";
echo "<td>";
echo '<p class="minus">' . $row{'amount'} .' ISK</p>';
echo "</td>";
echo "<td>";
echo '<p class="kontostand">' . $row{'balance'} . ' ISK</p>';
echo "</td>";
echo '</tr>';
}
$type_index++;
}
echo "</table>";
I don't know exactly what the use of if($row{'refTypeID'} == 42){ is, so you either want $type_index++; in the place I've put it above, or just above the closing brace }. For this to work well, $allgemeinxml->result->rowset->row and $xml->result->rowset->row need the same number of elements.
