Displaying column names and values - php

Question

I want to display the column names along with the values in the PHP page.
while($get_info = mysql_fetch_row($orderdetails))
{
foreach ($get_info as $field)
{
echo "<td>" . $field . "</td>";
}
echo '</tr>';
}
This fetches just the values. How do I display the column names too?
The column names are order_id, productid, product_discount, amount, customerid, order_date.

Answer 1

while($get_info=mysql_fetch_array($orderdetails))
{
foreach ($get_info as $key => $val)
{
echo "<td>" .$key. ': ' . $val . "</td>";
}
echo '</tr>';
}

Answer 2

You are just missing the key from your foreach :
while($get_info=mysql_fetch_assoc($orderdetails))
{
foreach ($get_info as $field => $value)
{
echo "<td>" .$field.': '.$value."</td>";
}
echo '</tr>';
}
You might want to review your foreach php documentation for more information:

Answer 3

If you want each field to contain the column name, change it to mysql_fetch_array and do:
foreach($get_info as $key => $value) {
echo "<td>$key: $value</td>";
}
If you want the column names to be at the top of the table, you can either check the first row (if you're sure the table won't be empty):
$first = true;
while($get_info = mysql_fetch_assoc($orderdetails)) {
echo '<tr>';
if($first) {
$first = false;
foreach(array_keys($get_info) as $columnName) {
echo '<th>' . $columnName . '</th>';
}
echo '</tr><tr>';
}
foreach($get_info as $field) {
echo '<td>' . $field . '</td>';
}
echo '</tr>';
}
If you're not sure that the table will have at least one element, I would use a second DESCRIBE query.

Answer 4

while ($get_info=mysql_fetch_assoc($orderdetails))
{
foreach ($get_info as $columnName => $field)
{
echo "<td>$columnName: $field</td>";
}
echo '</tr>';
}
Notice that I am using mysql_fetch_assoc() which fetches the row having the column names as the keys.

Answer 5

<?php
while($get_info=mysql_fetch_array($orderdetails))
{
foreach ($get_info as $key => $val)
{
echo "column is " .$key. 'and value is ' . $val ;
}
echo '</br>';
}
?>

Answer 6

A lot of people are using a key => val demo but your code will work its just that your $field is now an a key so you need to tell it what column to look at.
When echoing just go
echo "<td>" . $field->column . "</td>";
That should work.
