Php to auto populate grids - php

Question

I have the following html code:
<div class="media row-fluid">
<div class="span3">
<div class="widget">
<div class="well">
<div class="view">
<img src="img/demo/media/1.png" alt="" />
</div>
<div class="item-info">
Title 1
<p>Info.</p>
<p class="item-buttons">
<i class="icon-pencil"></i>
<i class="icon-trash"></i>
</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="widget">
<div class="well">
<div class="view">
<img src="img/demo/media/2.png" alt="" />
</div>
<div class="item-info">
This is another title
<p>Some info and details go here.</p>
<p class="item-buttons">
<i class="icon-pencil"></i>
<i class="icon-trash"></i>
</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Which basically alternates between a span class with the widget class, and then the widget class without the span3 class.
What I wanted to know was if there was a way to have php "echo" or populate the details for and details under the "item-info" class. Would I need to use a foreach statement to get this done? I would be storing the information in a mysql database, and while I can get it to fill in the info one by one (repeatedly entering the and echoing out each image and item title) it's not practical when the content needed to be displayed is over 15 different items. I'm not well versed in foreach statements so I could definitely use some help on it.
If someone could help me perhaps structure a php script so that it can automatically output the html based on the number individual items in the database, that'd be greatly appreciated!
I'm wondering if the html + php (not including the foreach) would look like this:
<div class="span3">
<div class="widget">
<div class="well">
<div class="view">
<img src="img/<? $file ?>" alt="" />
</div>
<div class="item-info">
<?$title?>
<p>Info.</p>
<p class="item-buttons">
<i class="icon-pencil"></i>
<i class="icon-trash"></i>
</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
EDIT:
I wanted to add some more information. The items populated would be based on a type of subscription - which will be managed by a group id.
I was initially going to use <? (if $_SESSION['group_id']==1)>
echo <div class="item-info">
$title
<p>$info</p>
</div>
so that only the subscribed items would populate. But, I would need it to iterate through all the items for group1 table and list it. Currently I know that I can do
<? (if $_SESSION['group_id']==1)
while ($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($sqlItem))
{
$itemInfo = $row['info'];
$image = $row['image'];
$title = $row['title'];
$url = $row['url'];
};

$sqlItem for now can only be assigned one thing (manually - as in: $sqlItem = '123'), unless I iterate through which is what I'm trying to figure out.

Answer 1

Just read that 'mysql_fetch_assoc' is being depreciated with 5.5, here is the new way and looks better, easier I think.. Hope this helps, was updated today.
I hope this helps http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli-stmt.fetch.php
replace the printf with echo '//then your html stuff
This will iterate through the rows in your database until their are no more matching records.

Answer 2

shouldn't a while be enough? It depends on the structure of your database and website (we didn't need so much HTML I think. Some more PHP maybe). Hope this helps.
