How to make a PHP variable loop in template - php

Question

I am trying to make something so it shows the database results. The problem is, it only shows 1 result. I want it to show multiple results using an quick and dirty template system. Also, is there a way to make my system better? Perhaps a class or a function? I need some insight on this. Thanks a bunch!
cp.php
<?php
require("db.php");
chdir("../"); // path to MyBB
define("IN_MYBB", 1);
require("./global.php");
$title = "********";
require("templates/header.php");
if($mybb->user['uid'])
{
$uid = $mybb->user['uid'];
// Active Tournaments
// run queries, do all the brainwork
// lets get the forum name
$query = "SELECT tourneys.name, tourneys.date, tourneys.time
FROM tourneys
INNER JOIN players ON players.tid = tourneys.id
WHERE players.forumname = {$uid}";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $query);
// output data of each row
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$activetournaments = "<td>". $row['name'] ."</td><td>" . $row['date'] . "</td><td>". $row['time'] ."</td>";
// $team = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM tourneys WHERE id=" . $row['tid'] . "");
// $playing = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT `` FROM tourneys WHERE id=" . $row['tid'] . "");
}
}
else
{
$error = "Only registered members may access this area.";
include ('templates/error.php');
}
require ("templates/cp.php")
?>
templates/cp.php
<h2>Welcome back <?=$mybb->user['username']; ?>!</h2>
<?=$postrequirement?>
<h3>Active Tournaments</h3>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Date/time</th>
<th>Team</th>
<th>Playing as</th>
<th>Options</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<?=$activetournaments?>
</table>
<hr />
<h3>Participated Tournaments</h3>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Position</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Date/time</th>
<th>Team</th>
<th>Played as</th>
<th>Options</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<?=$participatedtournaments?>
</table>

Answer 1

I have changed $activetournaments to append to the end using '.='.
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$activetournaments .= "<td>". $row['name'] ."</td><td>" . $row['date'] . "</td><td>". $row['time'] ."</td> ";
}
At the moment, for each record, it is overwriting $activetournaments. You could also use $activetournaments as an array then do a while / foreach in the template.

Answer 2

In your cp.php you overwrite $activetournaments in each while execution, change your code to:
<?php
require("db.php");
chdir("../"); // path to MyBB
define("IN_MYBB", 1);
require("./global.php");
$title = "1ShotGG Tournaments | Control Panel";
require("templates/header.php");
if($mybb->user['uid'])
{
$uid = $mybb->user['uid'];
// Active Tournaments
// run queries, do all the brainwork
// lets get the forum name
$query = "SELECT tourneys.name, tourneys.date, tourneys.time
FROM tourneys
INNER JOIN players ON players.tid = tourneys.id
WHERE players.forumname = {$uid}";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $query);
// output data of each row
$activetournaments = '';
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$activetournaments .= "<td>". $row['name'] ."</td><td>" . $row['date'] . "</td><td>". $row['time'] ."</td>";
// $team = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM tourneys WHERE id=" . $row['tid'] . "");
// $playing = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT `` FROM tourneys WHERE id=" . $row['tid'] . "");
}
}
else
{
$error = "Only registered members may access this area.";
include ('templates/error.php');
}
require ("templates/cp.php")
?>
In your templates/cp.php you can add a </tr> tag here:
<tr>
<?=$activetournaments?>
</tr>
your new templates/cp.php:
<h2>Welcome back <?=$mybb->user['username']; ?>!</h2>
<?=$postrequirement?>
<h3>Active Tournaments</h3>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Date/time</th>
<th>Team</th>
<th>Playing as</th>
<th>Options</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<?=$activetournaments?>
</tr>
</table>
<hr />
<h3>Participated Tournaments</h3>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Position</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Date/time</th>
<th>Team</th>
<th>Played as</th>
<th>Options</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<?=$participatedtournaments?>
</table>
