Display MYSQL results in html table - php

Question

Im not sure if a similar question has been asked before, but here goes anyway. (I did do a search and found nothing relating to my question).
I am developing a website in which videos are played using the HTML5 video player. I have a connection to my database, a "watch" page that pulls all the correct data using a variable linked to the id (watch.php?v=1). I would like to have an index page where the most recent videos are pulled. They are ordered by the column "id" and everything works when I try and pull one result from the query. How would I go about getting multiple values? Here is my php code (server details hidden):
<?php
$mysqli = new mysqli("HIDDEN", "HIDDEN", "HIDDEN", "HIDDEN");
$sql = "
SELECT id, title, imgsrc, description
FROM videos
ORDER BY id DESC
LIMIT 2
";
$result = $mysqli->query($sql);
$video = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC);
mysqli_close($mysqli);
?>
And here is my HTML code for the table.
<table>
<tr>
<td><h2><? echo $video['title']; ?></h2></td>
</tr>
</table>
That isn't the full code, but once I know the procedure I can apply it where needed!
I'm quite new to php and mysql, I can connect to databases but that's about it so a full walkthrough about what does what would be great!
Many Thanks,

Answer 1

You can iterate in for or while loop by calling mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC):
<table>
<?php
$mysqli = new mysqli("HIDDEN", "HIDDEN", "HIDDEN", "HIDDEN");
$sql = "
SELECT id, title, imgsrc, description
FROM videos
ORDER BY id DESC
LIMIT 2
";
$result = $mysqli->query($sql);
while($video = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
?>
<tr>
<td><h2><? echo $video['title']; ?></h2></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
mysqli_close($mysqli);
?>
</table>
Note that you should consider checking error statements, null controls etc.

Answer 2

try this
while($video = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC))
{
?>
<tr>
<td><h2><?php echo $video['title']; ?></h2></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>

Answer 3

Each time you call mysqli_fetch_array, only one row is fetched.
You need to do something like
while ($video = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
// output $video['title']
}
(according to: http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli-result.fetch-array.php)

Answer 4

Try this,
<table>
<?php while($row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC)){ ?>
<tr>
<td><h2><? echo $row['title']; ?></h2></td>
<td><h2><? echo $row['description']; ?></h2></td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
</table>
