store part of the page in variable - php

i have a page contains a table and this table contains a lot of coding like this
<table class="table">
<tbody>
<tr >
<td width="20" class="tabletop">م</td>
<td class="tabletop" >name</td>
<td class="tabletop" style="width:120px">date</td>
<td class="tabletop" style="width:120px">note1</td>
<td class="tabletop" style="width:100px">note2</td>
<td class="tabletop" style="width:90px">note3</td>
</tr>
<? $res=mysql_query($sql);
while($resArr=mysql_fetch_array($res)){ ?>
<tr style="width:700px">
<td class="tabletext"><?= ++$serial;?></td>
<td class="tabletext" ><?= $resArr[stName];?></td>
<td class="tabletext"><?= $resArr['date'];?></td>
<td class="tabletext" ><?= $resArr[matName];?></td>
<td class="tabletext" ><? if($resArr[exam]==1) echo "work";else echo "final";?></td>
<td class="tabletext" ><? if($resArr[exam_type]==1) echo "prac";else echo "test";?></td>
</tr>
<? }?>
</tbody>
</table>
as you see the table has php coding
now i want to store the whole table in variable so i can send it to pdf printing library tcpdf

You can use heredoc syntax, but you need to move the conditionals outside:
<?php
if($resArr['exam']==1) $exam = "work"; else $exam = "final";
if($resArr["exam_type"]==1) $examtype = "prac";else $examtype = "test";
$var = <<<EOT
<table class="table">
<tbody>
<tr >
<td width="20" class="tabletop">م</td>
<td class="tabletop" >name</td>
<td class="tabletop" style="width:120px">date</td>
<td class="tabletop" style="width:120px">note1</td>
<td class="tabletop" style="width:100px">note2</td>
<td class="tabletop" style="width:90px">note3</td>
</tr>
$res=mysql_query($sql);
while($resArr=mysql_fetch_array($res)){
<tr style="width:700px">
<td class="tabletext">{++$serial}</td>
<td class="tabletext" >{$resArr["stName"]}</td>
<td class="tabletext">{$resArr["date"]}</td>
<td class="tabletext" >{$resArr["matName"]}</td>
<td class="tabletext" >{$exam}</td>
<td class="tabletext" >{$examtype}</td>
</tr>
<? }?>
</tbody>
</table>
EOT;
echo $var;

Another way, if you already have all of this code and want to save it:
Before the table:
<?php ob_start(); ?>
After the table:
<?php $output = ob_get_contents(); ?>
The table will still be displayed and you can use $output to send to the PDF.

Print HTML dynamically on a page via PHP based on Condition

I want to print a section of a table if the data is available in JSON file for it. And if the data is not there and it shouldn't do anything.
So, far what I am doing is as below. Checking is the account_type is parent and then generate the table rows with corresponding data.
<?php
$str = file_get_contents('test.json');
$json = json_decode($str, true);
$parent= strtr('<tr>
<td colspan="2" style="color:#263a80;font-size:19px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-top:20px">Parent Information</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width:30%;font-weight:700;padding-bottom:10px">First Name</td>
<td>#fname</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width:30%;font-weight:700;padding-bottom:10px">Last Name</td>
<td>#lname</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width:30%;font-weight:700;padding-bottom:10px">Mobile Number</td>
<td>#mobile</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width:30%;font-weight:700;padding-bottom:10px">Email</td>
<td><a #email target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">#email</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width:30%;font-weight:700;padding-bottom:10px">Country</td>
<td>#country</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width:30%;font-weight:700;padding-bottom:10px">State</td>
<td>#state</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width:30%;font-weight:700;padding-bottom:10px">City</td>
<td>#city</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width:30%;font-weight:700;padding-bottom:10px">Postal Code</td>
<td>#pcode</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width:30%;font-weight:700;padding-bottom:10px">Full Home Address</td>
<td>#address</td>
</tr>', ["#fname"=>$json["json"]["register_session_1"]["first_name"],
"#lname"=>$json["json"]["register_session_1"]["last_name"],
"#mobile"=>$json["json"]["register_session_1"]["mobile"],
"#email"=>$json["json"]["register_session_1"]["email"],
"#country"=>$json["json"]["register_session_1"]["country"],
"#state"=>$json["json"]["register_session_1"]["state_online"],
"#city"=>$json["json"]["register_session_1"]["city"],
"#pcode"=>$json["json"]["register_session_1"]["postal_code"],
"#address"=>$json["json"]["register_session_1"]["address"]
]);
if ($json["json"]["register_session_1"]["account_type"]==="parent"){
echo $parent;
}
else {
echo "hahahah";
}
?>
Problem is that it printing the table data anyway. I don't know what I am doing wrong. The if-else condition is not working.
I have this code and I can't seem to figure out why. I have added this code in between the <table></table> tag.

How to automatically generate rowspan using php

In this code everything is perfect except that I could not generate rowspan in the Internal Grade cell. this line <td rowspan="<?php echo $cols;?>"> hides the bottom border while I expect to span the rows every time the code generates rows. Thanks for your input and sorry for using mysql() function. I am newbie.
<?php $cols=mysql_num_rows($grds); ?>
<table>
<?php do{ ?>
<tr>
<td> </td>
//This hide the bottom border
<td rowspan="<?php echo $cols;?>">Internal<br />Grades</td>
<td colspan="2"> <?php echo strtoupper($row_grds['grade_name']); ?></td>
<td><?php echo strtoupper($row_grds['igrade']); ?></td>
<?php } while ($row_grds=mysql_fetch_assoc($grds)); ?>
</tr>
</table>
The output is like below:
output is here
The code generated by php is:
<table>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td rowspan="1"> </td>// A
<td colspan="2"> RHYMES</td>
<td align="center">B</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td rowspan="2"> </td>//B
<td colspan="2"> CONVERSATION</td>
<td align="center">A</td>
</tr>
</table>
I want to merge A and B
Expected output is:
<table>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td rowspan="2"> Internal<br /> Grade</td>
<td colspan="2"> RHYMES</td>
<td align="center">B</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td colspan="2"> CONVERSATION</td>
<td align="center">A</td>
</tr>
</table>
You can do something similar to this:
<table>
<?php $row_grds = mysql_fetch_assoc($grds); ?>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td rowspan="<?=$cols;?>">Internal<br />Grades</td>
<td colspan="2"> <?=strtoupper($row_grds['grade_name']);?></td>
<td><?=strtoupper($row_grds['igrade']);?></td>
</tr>
<?php while ($row_grds=mysql_fetch_assoc($grds)): ?>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td colspan="2"> <?=strtoupper($row_grds['grade_name']);?></td>
<td><?=strtoupper($row_grds['igrade']);?></td>
</tr>
<?php endwhile; ?>
Its not perfect but you are using mysql_fetch_assoc, which on its own is not perfect either :D

How to disable looping inside do while loop in php?

I used php to generate rows of html table. Here is my code:
<?php $cols=mysql_num_rows($grds); ?>
<tr>
<td></td>
<?php do{ ?>
<td rowspan="<?php echo $cols; ?>" align="center">Internal<br />Grades</td>
<td colspan="2"> <?php echo strtoupper($row_grds['grade_name']);?></td>
<td align="center"><?php echo strtoupper($row_grds['igrade']);?></td>
</tr>
<?php } while ($row_grds=mysql_fetch_assoc($grds));?>
The html source generated by the above code is:
<tr>
<td></td>
<td rowspan="2" align="center">Internal<br />Grades</td>
<td colspan="2"> RHYMES</td>
<td align="center">B</td>
</tr>
<td rowspan="2" align="center">Internal<br />Grades</td>//I don't want this.
<td colspan="2"> CONVERSATION</td>
<td align="center">A</td>
</tr>
My expected output is:
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td rowspan="2"> Internal<br /> Grade</td>
<td colspan="2"> RHYMES</td>
<td align="center">B</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td colspan="2"> CONVERSATION</td>
<td align="center">A</td>
</tr>
<?php $i=0; while ($row_grds=mysql_fetch_assoc($grds)){ ?>
<tr>
<td></td>
<?php if($i==0): ?>
<td rowspan="<?php echo $cols; ?>" align="center">Internal<br />Grades</td>
<?php endif; ?>
<td colspan="2"> <?php echo strtoupper($row_grds['grade_name']);?></td>
<td align="center"><?php echo strtoupper($row_grds['igrade']);?></td>
</tr>
<?php $i++; } ?>

Can't view the content of my main forum table in PHP

It's probably because your server does not have short_open_tag configuration enabled.
Because of that, the following line is not parsed as PHP code, but rather it's considered as plain text.
<? echo $rows['view']; ?>
Use this instead:
<?php echo $rows['view']; ?>
Short tags are considered a PITA in the coding world, because if you ever have to migrate your code to a server that doesn't support it, or you can't enable it, than you have to edit all your code just for that environment when you could have just gone with normal tags. However, as of 5.4.x, short hand tags are enabled by default and parsed in any PHP document. But it's good to keep in mind different environments.
Your code:
<?php
include "db.php" ?>
//--------------------------^ remove this.
So final code should look like:
<?php
include "db.php"
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name ORDER BY id DESC";
// OREDER BY id DESC is order result by descending
$result=mysql_query($sql);
?>

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that you run your queries fist and then build your pdf file. If you run the queries after you build the pdf then of course it will not have access to your data. If that doesn't help then I must not understand what you're asking.
