while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) - php

Question

I'm trying to get a php to pull all records from a mysql db, and display them formatted. For some reason the 1st record displays correctly, but the 2nd record that displays directly below it does not show the field name. What am I doing wrong?
<?php
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_user = 'root';
$db_pwd = '***';
$database = 'db';
$table = 'upstable';
if (!mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pwd))
die("Can't connect to database");
if (!mysql_select_db($database))
die("Can't select database");
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM {$table}"); // sending query
if (!$result) {
die("Query to show fields from table failed");
}
$fields_num = mysql_num_fields($result);
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) // printing table rows
{
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
echo "<div id='column2'><b>{$field->name}:</b></div><div id='column2'>$row[0]</div><br>";
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
echo "<div id='column'><b>{$field->name}:</b></div><div id='column'>$row[1]</div><br>";
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
echo "<div id='column2'><b>{$field->name}:</b></div><div id='column2'>$row[2]v</div><br>";
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
echo "<div id='column'><b>{$field->name}:</b></div><div id='column'>$row[3]</div><br>";
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
echo "<div id='column2'><b>{$field->name}:</b></div><div id='column2'>$row[4]</div><br>";
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
echo "<div id='column'><b>{$field->name}:</b></div><div id='column'>$row[5]</div><br>";
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
echo "<div id='column2'><b>{$field->name}:</b></div><div id='column2'>$row[6]</div><br>";
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
echo "<div id='column'><b>{$field->name}:</b></div><div id='column'>$row[7]</div><br>";
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
echo "<div id='column2'><b>{$field->name}:</div></b><div id='column2'>$row[8]</div><br>";
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
echo "<div id='column'><b>{$field->name}:</b></div><div id='column'>$row[9]</div><br>";
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
echo "<div id='column2'><b>{$field->name}:</b></div><div id='column2'>$row[10]</div><br>";
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
echo "<div id='column'><b>{$field->name}:</b></div><div id='column'>$row[11]</div><br>";
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
echo "<div id='column2'><b>{$field->name}:</b></div><div id='column2'>$row[12]</div><br>";
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
echo "<div id='column'><b>{$field->name}:</b></div><div id='column'>$row[13]</div><br>";
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
echo "<div id='column2'><b>{$field->name}:</b></div><div id='column2'>$row[14]</div><br>";
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
echo "<div id='column'><b>{$field->name}:</b></div><div id='column'>$row[15]</div><br>";
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
echo "<div id='column2'><b>{$field->name}:</b></div><div id='column2'>$row[16]</div><br>";
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
echo "<div id='column'><b>{$field->name}:</b></div><div id='column'>$row[17]</div><br><br><br>";
$row = 0;
}
mysql_free_result($result);
?>
UPDATED:
ALMOST fixed, but it's not quite right. It is making each complete set of data alternating backgrounds (the class "column2" is grey and "columnn" is white), rather than every other row in each set. Does that make more sense?
This is what I'm using right now, what should I change?
$row_num = 0;
$css_classes[0] = 'column2';
$css_classes[1] = 'column';
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$row_num++;
$class = $css_classes[$row_num % 2];
foreach ($row as $col_name => $col_val)
{
echo "<div class='$class'><b>{$col_name}:</b></div><div class='$class'>$col_val</div><br>";
}
echo "<br><br>";

Answer 1

Below code should work perfectly, and has more readibility.
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
foreach ($row as $col_name => $col_val)
{
echo "<div id='column2'><b>{$col_name}:</b></div><div id='column2'>$col_val</div><br>";
}
}

Well, I'm not good at HTML/CSS. I would like to to like this if I were you.
$row_num = 0;
$css_classes[0] = 'gray_style';
$css_classes[1] = 'white_style';
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$row_num++;
$class = $css_classes[$row_num % 2];
foreach ($row as $col_name => $col_val)
{
echo "<div id='column2' class='$class'><b>{$col_name}:</b></div><div id='column2'>$col_val</div><br>";
}
}

You're only fetching the first row(because $results default position is [0], which is the first row.).
you obviously don't understand the process involved in fetching sorting, and displaying data with php, but here's an example of a prepared statement and a normal query using mysqli.
mysqli query
function getmarkets()
{
global $mysqli;
$query = $mysqli->query("SELECT pair, last_price FROM all_currency_data");
$num_rows = $query->num_rows;
if($num_rows > 0) {
while($row = $query->fetch_assoc())
{
$mkt = explode("-",$row["pair"]);
$coin = $mkt[0];
$base = $mkt[1];
echo '<a class="animate" href="?p=trade&market='.urlencode($row["pair"]).'" style="text-decoration: none;"><li class="mkt-normal" id="'.$row["pair"].'_div">'.$coin.'/'.$base.' <span class="price" id="'.$row["pair"].'_price">'.$row["last_price"].'</span></li></a>';
}
$query->close();
}
}
prepared statement
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT user,message,timestamp FROM uc_support_replies WHERE tickethash = ? ORDER BY timestamp ASC");
$stmt->bind_param('s',$ticket);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->bind_result($user,$message,$timestamp);
while($stmt->fetch())
{
if(in_array($user, $admins)) {
$color = '0404B4';
}else{
$color = '2E2E2E';
}
$output .=
'
<div class="msgdiv">
<hr class="five">
<span class="user_name" style="color:#'.$color.'"><u>'.$user.'</u></span>
</br>
<span class="user_message">'.$message.'</span>
</br>
<span data-livestamp="'.$timestamp.'">'.$timestamp.'</span>
<hr class="five">
</div>
';
}

The MySQL extension was officially deprecated since PHP 5.5.0 in late 2012 and it will be removed in the future. Recommended alternative since PHP 5 and later is MySQLi ("i" stands for "improved"). http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.mysqli.php
