Display query result in a table - php

Question

I have a MySQL query with over 50 return results. Now I need to display the results in a table with 3 rows and 3 columns.
Something like this:
<table>
<tr>
<td>Content</td>
<td>Content</td>
<td>Content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Content</td>
<td>Content</td>
<td>Content</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Content</td>
<td>Content</td>
<td>Content</td>
</tr>
</table>
I tried it with PHP like this:
$q = "SELECT name, address, content FROM mytable";
$r = mysqli_query($dbc, $q);
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($r, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
$name = $row['name'];
$address = $row['address'];
$content = $row['content'];
//Create new output
$output = "<p>$name</p>";
$output .= "<p>$address</p>";
$output .= "<p>$content</p>";
//Add output to array
$mycontent[] = $output;
}
Then I am printing the content array in my table like this:
<tr>
<td><?php echo $mycontent[0]; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $mycontent[1]; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $mycontent[2]; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $mycontent[3]; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $mycontent[4]; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $mycontent[5]; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $mycontent[6]; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $mycontent[7]; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $mycontent[8]; ?></td>
</tr>
Using this code, I can only display 9 contents. My problem is that I want to display more content. I'm going to use pagination to display contents; something like 0-9, 10-18, 19-27 etc.
NOTE: I can do the pagination part.
I hope someone will give me the right direction for this.
Thank you.

try something like:
echo "<table>";
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($r, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
$name = $row['name'];
$address = $row['address'];
$content = $row['content'];
echo "<tr><td>".$name."</td><td>".$address."</td><td>".$content."</td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
this example will print in table all the result of the query.
if you want to limit only to some results, so limit the sql query.
for example:
$q = "SELECT name, address, content FROM mytable limit 50";
to get each content,name, address in TD, and 3 of mycontent(content, name, address) in a TR try this:
$c= mysql_query("select COUNT(name) from mytable");
$n=mysql_fetch_array($c);
$maxname= $n[0];
$i=0;
$tr=0;
echo "<table>";
while ($tr < $maxname)
{
echo "<tr>";
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($r, MYSQLI_ASSOC) and $i<$tr) {
$name = $row['name'];
$address = $row['address'];
$content = $row['content'];
echo "<td>".$name." | ".$address." | ".$content."</td>";
$i++;
}
echo "</tr>";
$tr= $tr+3;
}
echo "</table>";

Try something like this. It places your values in an easy to use associative array. Then you just loop through.
<?php
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($r, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
$values[] = array(
'name' => $row['name'],
'address' => $row['address'],
'content' => $row['content']
);
}
?>
<table>
<?php
foreach($values as $v){
echo '
<tr>
<td>'.$v['name'].'</td>
<td>'.$v['address'].'</td>
<td>'.$v['content'].'</td>
</tr>
';
}
?>
</table>

You can store in a variable if u r planning to use it in a function or you can just print it. Either way...
$q = "SELECT name, address, content FROM mytable";
$r = mysqli_query($dbc, $q);
$str = "<table>";
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($r, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
$str .= "<tr>";
$str .= "<td>" . $row['name'] . "</td>";
$str .= "<td>" . $row['address'] . "</td>";
$str .= "<td>" . $row['content'] . "</td>";
$str .= "</tr>";
}
$str .= "</table>"
echo $str;
There you go!

Answer 4

use a for-loop to iterate your $mycontent-array:
EDIT: I was made aware that $mycontent is built differently than I first assumed:
$h = "<table>"; // we are going to build the table in $h
$maxcount = count($mycontent); // get the number of values within the array
for ($i = 0;$i < $maxcount;$i++) { // counting $i up from 0 to $maxcount -1 ...
$h.= "<tr><td>{$mycontent[$i]}</td></tr>"; // build row
}
$h.= "</table>"; // close the table
echo $h; // echo it

YOU CAN REFERENCE THIS CODE
<tbody>
<!-- <tr>
<td>Technology</td>
<td>Professor Abiola</td>
<td>wetech#school.com</td>
<td> Plot 2, Oriola road,</td>
<td>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary"> Edit</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success">Update</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger">Delete</button>
</td>
</tr> -->
<?php
while($rows = mysqli_fetch_array($response)){
$faculty = $rows['faculty'];
$hod = $rows['hod'];
$email = $rows['email'];
// $location = $rows['location'];
echo "<tr>
<td>$faculty</td>
<td>$hod</td>
<td>$email</td>
<td>".$rows["location"]."</td>
<td>
<button type='button' class='btn btn-primary'>Edit</button>
<button type='button' class='btn btn-success'>Update</button>
<button type='button' class='btn btn-danger'>Delete</button>
</td>
</tr>";
