Got stuck with populating mysql table in html table [duplicate] - php

Question

Here the value of $table will be passed from another file and it will be a table name in a database.
With that table name ($table) am trying to fetch its column names and all the values in the table and make the table look like an actual one we see in phpMyAdmin.
As a result of the code below. I can only get the column names. But not the data. Please tell me what should i do to perform the task of showing the datas in the table
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" class="display" rel="datatable">
<thead>
<tr>
<?php
//echo"select * from $table";
$qq=mysql_query("show columns from $table");
if(mysql_num_rows($qq)>0){
//$i=1;
echo '<tr>';
while($rs = mysql_fetch_row($qq))
{
$sel=mysql_query("select * from $table");
$fetch=mysql_fetch_object($sel);
//while($fetch=mysql_fetch_object($sel))
//{
?>
<td><?php echo $fetch->$rs[0];?></td>
<?php
//}
//$i++;
}
echo '</tr>';
}
else
{
?>
<tr>
<td colspan="11">No data to display</td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
</tbody>
</table>

Answer 1

Yes only columns will be printing because you are printing $rs[0];?> where $rs holds object for mysql_query qq and it holds your column query only not
"select * from $table"
this.
Why dont you try displaying columns as a single row in html table and then try displaying data from other php set with seperate query structure .
Hope this way it helps.

Answer 2

I coudn't fix your code because it was getting ugly, so i remade it:
php:
function mysql_fetch_all($res) {
$result = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($res)) {
$result[] = $row;
}
return $result;
}
function getColumnsAndData($table) {
$table = mysql_real_escape_string($table);
$q1 = mysql_query("show columns from $table");
$q2 = mysql_query("select * from $table");
return array(mysql_fetch_all($q1), mysql_fetch_all($q2));
}
list($columns, $data) = getColumnsAndData($table);
?>
html
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" class="display" rel="datatable">
<thead>
<tr>
<?php foreach ($columns as $column): ?>
<td><?php echo $column[0] . ' ' . $column[1] ?></td>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php if (count($data) > 0): ?>
<?php foreach ($data as $row): ?>
<tr>
<?php foreach ($row as $value): ?>
<td><?php echo $value ?></td>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php else: ?>
<tr>
<td>No data to display</td>
</tr>
<?php endif; ?>
</tbody>
</table>
