I need some little help on a simple thing!
I have this table in my database, where I have a number of images stored, called "covers".
And then I have a table in HTML that displays the covers of this MySQL table inside one of it's cells.
Like this:
<td><a href="movie.php?id=<?php echo $idt + 1; ?>">
<?php echo '<img src="'.htmlentities($idt + 1['cover'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8').'" alt="Cover" style="max-width:300px;max-height:300px;" />';; ?></a></td>
And this is the code before
$req = mysql_query("select id, name, year, genre, cover from movies");
$dnn = mysql_fetch_array($req);
$idt = $dnn['id'];
But why doesn't it work when I try to dynamically change id by putting this?
$idt + 1;

Answer 1

In order to output data from multiple rows, I suggest using a loop like this:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($req)) {
?><td>
<a href="movie.php?id=<?php echo $row['id']; ?>">
<img src="<?php echo htmlentities($row['cover'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?>" alt="Cover" />
</a>
</td><?php
}

Answer 2

You need to fetch a whole set of results and not just one id and increment it in the view. You should do a foreach loop on $idt like that:
foreach($dnn as $row){
$id=$row['id'];
$cover=$row['cover'];
$genre=$row['genre'];
//etc...
//now echo html with vars like this:
echo "<img src=\"$cover\"/>";
}
