im having some problem here. basically, i want to compare columns. so i fetched object and the comparing results appeared just as expected. however, it does not return the compare value anymore after i added the fetch_array to view the current table hoping that the compare value would appear beside the compare value. is there any way i could run the compare code and make it appear the table? i tried a query but it would only work in MySQL and not PHP.
$query = "SELECT * FROM system_audit"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
echo " ID Type Setting Value ";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo $row['ID'];
echo $row['Type'];
echo $row['Setting'];
echo $row['Value'];
}
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
if($row->Setting != $row->Value) {
echo "X";
} else {
echo "O";
}
}
Your code contains a lot of echo's that have no use. I would suggest learning PHP a bit more.
Your compare is wrong, this should work :
$query = "SELECT * FROM system_audit";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
echo " ID Type Setting Value ";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo $row['ID'] . "<br>";
echo $row['Type'] . "<br>";
echo $row['Setting'] . "<br>";
echo $row['Value'] . "<br>";
if($row['Setting'] != $row['Value']) {
echo "X" . "<br>";
}
else {
echo "O" . "<br>";
}
echo "<br>";

came across a problem for my coursework when trying to place selected items from my database into a table, here is my code:
echo '<br>';
$describeQuery='Select Distinct current_location From Current_Location';
$results = sqlsrv_query($conn, $describeQuery);
echo '<br>';
echo '<br>';
echo "<table border='1', width='15%'><tr><th>Locations</th></tr>";"
while($row = sqlsrv_fetch_array($results, SQLSRV_FETCH_ASSOC))
{
echo "<tr><td>" "<option value=\"Location1\">" . $row['current_location'] . </option>" "</td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
Can anyone see where I am going wrong? The error mentions that I have no ',' or ';' tags, therefore it never ends, however I cannot find this error through messing with the program a bit.
Sorry for any formatting issues, still adjusting to the website.
There is an extra double-quotes at the end of the 6th line and then you should modify the while loop's echo like this:
echo '<br>';
$describeQuery='Select Distinct current_location From Current_Location';
$results = sqlsrv_query($conn, $describeQuery);
echo '<br>';
echo '<br>';
echo "<table border='1', width='15%'><tr><th>Locations</th></tr>";
while($row = sqlsrv_fetch_array($results, SQLSRV_FETCH_ASSOC))
{
echo "<tr><td><option value='Location1'>" . $row['current_location'] . "</option></td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
Basically I'm doing digital signage and I'm trying to get names to be pulled from a MySQL database to a PHP page. Right now its all centered in one column, but I want the results to be in two columns side by side. How can I do this?
$sql = "SELECT * FROM donor WHERE DonationAmount = 5000 AND Category = '1' or DonationAmount = 5000 AND Category IS NULL ORDER BY LastName ASC";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
// test if the DisplayName field is empty or not
if(empty($row['DisplayName']))
{
// it's empty!
if(empty($row['FirstName'])){
echo $row['LastName']. "<br>";
}
else{
echo $row["LastName"]. ", " . $row["FirstName"]. "<br>";
}
}else{
// Do stuff with the field
echo $row["DisplayName"]. "<br>";
}
}
} else {
}
Basically I want this data to be spread across two columns instead of 1 single page.
output the strings like this:
echo "<span style=\"width:50%;float:left;\">".$row['LastName']."</span>";
do not forget to remove <br /> from each output
You can use tables, and count the rows to determine if you need to start a new table row.
$i = 0;
$total_rows = $result->num_rows;
echo "<table><tr>";
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
// test if the DisplayName field is empty or not
echo "<td>";
if(empty($row['DisplayName']))
{
// it's empty!
if(empty($row['FirstName'])){
echo $row['LastName'];
}
else{
echo $row["LastName"]. ", " . $row["FirstName"];
}
}else{
// Do stuff with the field
echo $row["DisplayName"]. "";
}
echo "</td>";
$i++;
if($i % 2 == 0 && $i != $total_rows) {
echo "</tr><tr>";
}
}
echo "</tr></table>";
if your content is in <div id="myDiv"> use this JS function and call it after the content loads
function splitValues() {
var output = "";
var names = document.getElementById('myDiv').innerHTML.split("<br>");
for(var i in names) {
output += "<span style=\"width:50%;float:left;display:inline-block;text-align:center;\">"+names[i]+"</span>";
}
document.getElementById('myDiv').innerHTML = output;
}
I'm trying to work something out but I just can't get it to work. I need to do the following:
Pull data from a MySQL Table
Store that data in an array
Use that data from the array in a Function.
Current code looks like this (currently pulls data from MySQL Table and iterates over it, putting it in a table (purely to check it worked).
mysql_connect("localhost", "*****", "*****") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("*****") or die(mysql_error());
$data = mysql_query("SELECT batch FROM widgetBatches") or die(mysql_error());
Print "<table border cellpadding=3>";
while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $data )) { Print "<tr>";
Print "<th>Batch:</th> <td>".$info['batch'] . "</td> ";
Print "" . " </td></tr>";
} Print "</table>";
Here's the function, $widgetBatches needs to take the array from the previous code however nothing i've tried works. (there is more to the Widget() however it's not relevant to this issue. Thanks in advance!
$uI = 550;
Widget($uI);
function Widget($input) {
$currentValue = $input;
$i = 0;
$widgetBatches = [250, 500, 1000, 2000];
while ($currentValue > 0) {
$i++;
echo "Batch Number " . $i . "<br/>";
echo "Widgets Left To Fulfill Order: " . $currentValue . "<br/>";
$closest = ClosestBatch($widgetBatches, $currentValue);
echo "Closest Batch Available: " . $closest . "<br/>";
$currentValue = $currentValue - $closest;
echo "Remaining Widgets: " . abs($currentValue) . "<hr/>";
}
echo "<br />";
}
I have a searchpage, which works fine. Search results are displayed in a table with tr hover and a window.location to take the user to a different page.
What I am trying to achieve is a dynamic link for the window.location based on data from the array. All the data in the db belongs to 4 different categories, testkat, and I would like to direct the user to the right page depending on the value from testkat, and then using the 'testid' to fill in the data.
I have been trying numerous ways to achieve my goal, and searched both SE, Google etc, but no luck. I'm pretty new to PHP so using the right search term might have something to do with it.
From my point of view I'm thinking that I have to store the value from testkat in a variable, lets say $link. And from there make an IF statement, something like:
if ($results('testkat') == 'something') {
$link = "something.php?id='$testid'";
}
if ($results('testkat') == 'something_else') {
$link = "something_else.php?id='$testid'";
}
And from there put $link in the window.location
Here's my code:
<?php
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die("Couldn't do it: ".mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("db") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_set_charset('utf8',$conn);
$query = $_POST['query'];
$query = htmlspecialchars($query);
$query = mysql_real_escape_string($query);
$raw_results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM db WHERE (`id` LIKE '%".$query."%') OR (`name` LIKE '%".$query."%') OR (`age` LIKE '%".$query."%')") or die(mysql_error());
$count = mysql_num_rows($raw_results);
if(isset($_POST['query'])) {
echo "<br>";
echo "Your search for <span class=\"bold\">" .$query. "</span> returned " . $count . " hits";
echo "<br>";
if(mysql_num_rows($raw_results) > 0){
echo "<br>";
echo "<table class=\"tbl-text\">";
echo "<tr class=\"tablelist\"><th>Heading 1</th><th>Heading 2</th><th>#</th><th>Heading 3</th><th>Heading 4</th><th>Heading 5</th>";
while($results = mysql_fetch_array($raw_results)){
echo "<tr onclick=\"window.location='#'\" style=\"cursor:pointer\" class=\"tr-hover\">";
echo "<td class=\"bordered\">" .$results['testid'] . "</td>";
echo "<td class=\"bordered\">" .$results['testkat'] . "</td>";
echo "<td class=\"bordered\">" .$results['intnr'] . "</td>";
echo "<td class=\"bordered\">" .$results['pro'] . "</td>";
}
echo "</table>";
}
else{
}
}
?>
Update:
Forgot to tell about the error. When doing it the way I think it should be done, I get an error message in the IF statement saying: Fatal error: Function name must be a string.
Referring to this one:
if ($results('testkat') == 'something') {
$link = "something.php?id='$testid'";
}
I know about MySQLi and PDO, working on it.
Eager to learn, so any hints and tricks are greatly appreciated :)

That method looks fine. You don't need the single quotations around $testid though
$link = "something_else.php?id=$testid";
As you've mentioned you should stop using mysql, get learning :)
Managed to fix it, and posting if someone else are having the same problem.
First, rewrote the whole thing to MySQLi.
Then I put an IF statement after the WHILE LOOP like this:
Connecting to db ->
if(isset($_POST['query'])) {
$query = $_POST['query'];
$query = htmlspecialchars($query);
$sql = $db->query("SELECT * FROM db WHERE (`?` LIKE '%".$query."%') OR (`?` LIKE '%".$query."%') OR (`?` LIKE '%".$query."%')");
$result = mysqli_query($db, sql);
$hits = $sql->num_rows;
echo "<br>";
echo "Your search for <span class=\"bold\">" .$query. "</span> returned " . $hits . " results";
echo "<br>";
if($sql->num_rows > 0){
echo "<br>";
echo "<table class=\"tbl-text\">";
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($sql)) {
if ($row['category'] == 'cat01'){
$link = 'cat01.php?id=' . $row['testid'] . '';
}
if ($row['category'] == 'cat02'){
$link = 'cat02.php?id=' . $row['testid'] . '';
}
if ($row['category'] == 'cat03'){
$link = 'cat03.php?id=' . $row['testid'] . '';
}
if ($row['category'] == 'cat04'){
$link = 'cat04.php?id=' . $row['testid'] . '';
}
echo "<tr onclick=\"window.location='$link'\" style=\"cursor:pointer\" class=\"tr-hover\">";
echo "<td class=\"bordered\">" .$row['testid'] . "</td>";
>>> more echo
}
There are probably more efficient ways to do this, but at least I got the results I was after, and the script is also more secure now using MySQLi
I have a user table that contain a lots more data, I wonder how can I improve my select code below
if ($result = $db->query("SELECT * FROM user ")) {
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo $row["name"] . "<br />";
echo $row["user_id"] . "<br />";
echo $row["photo"] . "<br />";
//.. a lot more column here
}
}
I use this as a array: $user_info = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `database` WHERE 1));
and to call it i use $user_info['column']
