The array $carry_over returns a really long list of entries, too long for my printout page. I would love to make it in such a way that after 4 entries, it breaks and goes to the next line and breaks at the next four entries until all entries are in.
How can i do this?
Thanks
echo "<table class=\"altrowstable\" bgcolor = gold >\n";
$count = 0;
echo "<tr align= \"center\">\n";
$carry_over = array();
$score_count = mysql_numrows($query8);
echo "<td>"."Failed: ";
if($score_count !== 0){
while ($row8 = mysql_fetch_assoc($query8)) {
echo "<th>".$row8['course_code']."</th>";
if ( $count == 7 ){
echo "</tr>\n";
echo "</table>";
}
}
}
Update : Now only the first 7 entries are covered inside the table tags, the subsequent ones are outside the table tags. How can i put them in the tabke tags?
Thanks
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but you could try:
$count = 0;
echo "<tr>";
while ($row8 = mysql_fetch_assoc($query8)) {
echo "<th>" . $row8['course_code'] . "</th>";
$count++;
if(count == 4) {
echo "</tr><tr>";
$count = 0;
}
}
echo "</tr>";
It looks like you're using a table for list data. Instead of using a <table>, you should be using a <ul> with <li> for each element. This can then be styled so that each li has display: inline-block;, for example.
I cannot tell what the table looks like from the code above, but you can put an iterator in to count to four then wrap. You also may want to check out Wordwrap

I use a MySql query to select data from my DB and then print it in the form of a HTML Table. It works perfectly, fine but sometimes the table consists of hundreds of rows and the webpage looks incredibly akward. Is there a way to split the table side by side into 2 or 3 halves.
Present Output
Desired output
PHP
<?php
....
echo "<h3>Classes attended :</h3>";
echo "<table class='dates' border='1'>";
foreach ($results as $dates) {
echo "<tr><td width='50%'>";
echo $dates->db_date;
echo "</td>";
echo "<td width='50%'>";
echo $dates->day_name;
echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
?>
What would be the best way to achieve it?
Help would be appreciated.
You can use PHP to determine in your loop if the loop index is divisible by a certain number using something like this:
echo "<h3>Classes attended :</h3>";
echo "<table class='dates' border='1'>";
$rowCount = 1;
$numRows = count($results);
$maxRows = 12;
foreach ($results as $dates) {
echo "<tr><td width='50%'>";
echo $dates->db_date;
echo "</td>";
echo "<td width='50%'>";
echo $dates->day_name;
echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
if($rowCount % $maxRows == 0 && $rowCount != $numRows) {
echo "</table><table class='dates' border='1'>";
}
$rowCount ++;
}
echo "</table>";
That's the basics of doing this. Basically in your loop you're testing each index to see if it's divisible by $maxRows, and if so then you're going to close your table and open a new one. You'll have to add the styling to place the tables side by side.
If you wanted to expand upon this concept you can set $maxRows to be an evaluation of $numRows. For instance if you wanted to split the items as close as possible to half in order to show just two tables, you could do... $numRows = count($results); $maxRows = round($numRows / 2);
Inspired by Robert Wade's answer:
<?php
....
echo "<h3>Classes attended :</h3>";
$i=0;
$maxRows=10;
foreach ($results as $dates) {
$a=$i/$maxRows == 0 ? "<table class='dates' border='1'>":"";
$b=$i/$maxRows == 0 ? "</table>":"";
echo $a;
echo "<tr><td width='50%'>";
echo $dates->db_date;
echo "</td>";
echo "<td width='50%'>";
echo $dates->day_name;
echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
echo $b;
$i++;
}
?>
At last, add some css style to the tables.
You can also use array_chunk() for splitting your results. Or instead of displaing a lot of tables next to each other you can make pagination and get only some range in your query. For example:
SELECT * FROM `clients` LIMIT 5, 10
Selects 10 rows beggining from row 5. Now, when you change your page, just change limit values.
I have a database of images which I want to output as a gallery ...
I want to display each image in its own cell <td>image1</td> and limit the number of cells to 7 per row.
<tr>
<td>image1</td><td>image2</td><td>image3</td><td>image4</td><td>image5</td><td>image6</td><td>image7</td>
</tr>
Then a new row would be created and continue to output all the images.
<tr>
<td>image8</td>
and so on ..
I know how to do a query, but I am lost as to how to assemble the rows into the format I am looking for.
Can anyone please help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
First run your query, then get the mysql_fetch_assoc in a variable. Then echo your beginning tags for the table and tr. Then create a foreach loop of the query assoc, as another variable such as row, and echo $row['image'] in a td. This will add a new td with the image for every entry in the database. Then echo your closing tags for the tr and table.
$query = mysql_query("SELECT image FROM table_name");
$query_a = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);
echo "<table><tr>"
foreach ($query_a as $row)) {
echo "
<td>" . $row['image'] . "</td>
";
}
echo "</tr></table>";
Not tested, but try something like this
<table>
<?php
// make sure there is at least 1 row first
$cnt = 0;
$while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
{
if(++$cnt == 1) {
echo '<tr>';
} elseif($cnt % 7 == 0) {
echo '</tr><tr>';
}
// show images in <td>'s
echo "<td>" . $row['image']. "</td>";
}
echo '</tr>';
?>
</table>
Keep it simple:
Query the database to get the desired information, loop through the results, construct a new row come each new loop.
$sql = "Select * from table";
mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows !=0)
{
// Found at least one record, create table
echo "<table>";
echo "<tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql)
{
$cell_count = 0;
// Create a new row for each record found
echo "<td>" . $row['image_column']. "</td>";
$cell_count++;
if($cell_count == 7)
{
echo "</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
$cell_count = 0;
}
}
// Close the table
echo "</tr>";
echo "</table>";
}
I'm stuck and can't figure this out.
I have this piece of code which is basically generating a table taking data from SQL cursor.
I need to add one extra table row <tr> (which will be filled with additional info) after each row. I've tried putting the new row in several places, but there is never any output data for it. This is someone else's code that I'm trying to modify.
$top_i=min($pagesize-1,$numrows-$start);
for($i = 0;$i<=$top_i;$i++) {
if (($i%2)==1)
echo "<tr class='saraksts_row0'>";
else
echo "<tr class='saraksts_row1'>";
$res=mssql_query("fetch absolute ".($start+$i)." from saraksts_cursor ");
$row=mssql_fetch_array($res);
$itemp = 0;
foreach($fields as $field) {
$key = $field[0];
if($field[2]) {
eval($field[2] );
}
$itemp++;
$val = ($row[$key] == "") ? " " : $row[$key];
// Get rid of right and left border, set topmost border
$st="";
if ($itemp==1)
$st.="border-left-style:none;";
if ($itemp==$numfields)
$st.="border-right-style:none;";
if ($i==$top_i)
$st.="border-bottom-style:solid;";
echo "<td style='$st'>$val</td>";
}
$itemp = 0;
echo "</tr>\n";
}
The place where you want to add the extra row is after closing the first row and before the iteration moves to the next one. Note, it appears that you are doing some styling based on whether the row is odd or even. If you want this new row to have the same styling, I suggest you store the class you're applying to the preceding row so that you can also apply it to this row.
echo "</tr>\n";
echo "<tr><td>...</td><td>...</td></tr>\n"; /* Add the new row here */
}
...
$st.="border-bottom-style:solid;";
echo "<td style='$st'>$val</td>";
}
//Here we go
echo '<td style="blah">'.$yourotherinfo.'</td>';
$itemp = 0;
echo "</tr>\n";
The code belows gives me only 18 records
<?php
$result4 = mysql_query("select Distinct Country from trendsmtable where WHORegionAC='Europe - all countries' GROUP BY Country ");
echo "<table width=880 align=center>";
echo "<tr><td colspan=4 style='font-family:Arial;'><b>European Region</b></td></tr>";
$num_columns4 = 4;
$num_rows4 = mysql_num_rows($result4);
$i=0;
while($row4 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result4)){
$results[$i] = $row4['Country'];
$i++;
}
unset($i);
$k=0;
for ($i=0;$i<=($num_rows4/($num_columns4+1));$i++){
echo '<tr>';
for($j=1;$j<=$num_columns4;$j++){
echo "<td width=220 style='font-family:Arial; font-size:12px'>".$results[$k].'</td>';
$k++;
}
echo '</tr>';
$k++;
}
echo "</table>";
?>
while the select statement
select Distinct Country from trendsmtable where WHORegionAC='Europe -
all countries'
returns 22 rows while I execute it in mysql which is correct!
Please help me to found the error.
Well, you have an extra $k++ in there that you don't need:
$k++; // keep this one
}
echo '</tr>';
$k++; // remove this one
}
Edit
I've gone through your code and I've made some edits. Hopefully they'll clean your issue along the way:
// got rid of group by. With a select distinct, it isn't necessary
$result4 = mysql_query("select Distinct Country from trendsmtable where ".
"WHORegionAC='Europe - all countries'");
// a good practice is to always double-quote your HTML attributes.
echo "<table width=\"880\" align=\"center\">";
echo "<tr><td colspan=4 style=\"font-family:Arial;\">".
"<b>European Region</b></td></tr>";
$num_columns4 = 4; // where does 4 come from.
// $results was never initialized before.
$results = array();
while($row4 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result4)){
// This is generally thought of as "cleaner" than using an index.
// And since there cannot be more than, say, 220 rows, cleanliness
// should be a high-priority standard.
$results[] = $row4['Country'];
}
// mysql_num_rows rarely provides any major benefit at all.
$num_rows4 = count($results);
foreach( $results as $key => $val )
{
// This happens every time we fill all columns and need a new row.
if( !( $key % $num_columns4 ) )
{
// makes it so that after the first time this closes the prev
// row before starting a new one.
if( $key ) echo '</tr>';
echo '<tr>';
}
// insert nag about CSS
echo '<td width="220" style="font-family:Arial; font-size:12px">'.
$val.
'</td>';
}
echo '</tr></table>';
I think the PHP looks a little odd, it looks like you are looping from 0 to (22 / 5)
then in the inner loop 4 times.
The group by should not make any difference as you are doing a select distinct
Your SQL code in the PHP file contains a GROUP BY clause, which can reduce the number of rows returned, if you have a country more than once in the db.
I'm trying to fix the layout of the data coming from the database in this way:
The query is returning names of games and the points awarded for each game.
The layout I need is like that:
in one row the name of the game and in a row below its points, two columns with this and then carriage break until all results are displayed.
Please see this image, it'll show some light:
http://217.116.9.130/wordpress/HTMLtableFROMquery.gif
What I have done by far is the following code, but I cannot display the layout needed.
![<?php
echo "<table border=1><tr>";
$count=0;
$sql2 = "select * from games";
$res2= $db_class->select($sql2);
if (mysql_num_rows($res2)>0) {
while($row2 = $db_class->get_row($res2)){
$gname = $row2['gamename'];
$gpoints = $row2['gamepoints'];
$count++;
echo"<td>".$gname."</td>";
if($count % 2 != 0)
{
echo "</tr><tr>";
echo"<td>".$gpoints."</td>";
}
}
}
echo "</tr></table>";
?>
What about some divs?
<?php
echo "<table border=1><tr>";
$count=0;
$sql2 = "select * from games";
$res2= $db_class->select($sql2);
if (mysql_num_rows($res2)>0) {
while($row2 = $db_class->get_row($res2)){
$gname = $row2['gamename'];
$gpoints = $row2['gamepoints'];
$count++;
echo"<td>
<div class=\"gname\">".$gname."</div>
<div class=\"gpoints\">".$gpoints."</div>
</td>";
if($count % 2 != 0)
{
echo "</tr><tr>";
}
}
}
echo "</tr></table>";
?>
You may want to create a table for each set of name-score, and then style it after your needs.
You can use the border property in CSS to style your table, and also table:nth-child(2n){ clear: left; to have only two tables on each row.
I believe this method is more flexible, as CSS gives endless possibilities for styling an element.
