EDIT: Solved - was not flutter's tag stripping, should work as advertised.
I'm using Flutter (which creates custom fields) in Wordpress to display profile information entered as a Post. Before I implemented the CSS tables the link showed up and was clickable. Now I get nothing returned, even when I try to call the link outside the table.
If you know anything about this, here's my code in the index.php file and I remain available for any questions.
<?php if (in_category('Profile')) { ?>
<table id="mytable" cellspacing="0">
-snip-
<tr>
<th class="row1" valign="top">Website </td>
<td>Link: <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'FrWebsite', $single=true) ?></td>
</tr>
-snip-
</table>
Edit: #Josh - there is a foreach looping construct in the table and it is reading and displaying the code correctly, I see what you're getting at now:
<tr>
<th class="row2" valign="top">Specialities </td>
<td class="alt" valign="top"><?php $my_array = get('Expertise');
$output = "";
foreach($my_array as $check)
{
$output .= "<span>$check</span><br/> ";
}
echo $output; ?></td>
</tr>
Edit - #Josh - here's the old code as far as I can remember it, there was no major difference just a <td> tag where there now stands a <th>, there wasn't the class="" and there was no "Link:" and FrWebsite was called Website, but it still didn't work when called Website so I changed to see if that was the error.
<tr>
<td width="200" valign="top">Website </td>
<td><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Website', $single=true) ?></td>
</tr>
Where is $post set? What does the full table look like? Could be that when you changed the table structure you accidentally removed something like (line 2 below):
<table id="mytable" cellspacing="0">
<?php foreach($posts as $post) { ?>
<tr>
<th class="row1" valign="top">Website </td>
<td>Link: <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'FrWebsite', $single=true) ?></td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
(Just guessing here...)

I'm trying to display an html table in which I'd like to show some php variables.
My code is the following:
<?php
$title = the_title();
?>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $title?></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
In the output I can see the word "Name" as expected but it doesn't print the $title variable (there is a empty space instead).
I've already read some of the questions on the site but they doesn't help me because they suggest to write the same code that I wrote.
From a database we are getting data, but my question is that after tbody starting tag and before tbody ending tag, why we are ending php in this way using <?php }?>
Why is it used in these lines?
<div class="container">
<div class="table-responsive">
<table class="table table-striped" >
<thead>
<tr>
<th scope="col">CNIC</th>
<th scope="col" >Name</th>
<th scope="col" >DOB</th>
<th scope="col" >Address</th>
<th scope="col" >City</th>
<th scope="col" >Degree Program</th>
<th scope="col" >Gender</th>
<th scope="col" >Email</th>
<th scope="col" >Mobile</th>
<th scope="col" ></th>
<th scope="col" ></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php while($student = mysqli_fetch_assoc($resultSet)){?>
<tr>
<td scope="row" ><?php echo $student['cnic']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $student['fname'] . " ". $student['lname']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $student['dateofbirth']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $student['address']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $student['city']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $student['degree']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $student['gender']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $student['email']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $student['mobile']; ?></td>
<td> <a class="btn btn-primary" href=<?php echo "update_student.php?u_id=".$student['u_id']; ?> >Update</a> </td>
<td> <a class="btn btn-primary" href=<?php echo "delete_student.php?u_id=".$student['u_id']; ?> >Delete</a> </td>
</tr>
<?php }?>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
Here,
like your code snippet, we can decide what is to be displayed in the DOM (html page).in your code the whole contents in
<tr>...</tr>
will print on the html page only till the while condition satisfies.if the while loop runs for ten times there will be ten rows in
<tbody>...</tbody>
here the while loop will continue till fetching the last record from the specified table.
This:
<?php }?>
Is actually closing your while loop that starts at the begining:
<?php while($student = mysqli_fetch_assoc($resultSet)){?>.
If that would not be present, the code would throw you an error.
Loops in PHP (should) start and end with curly brackets. So at the begining you have something like:
for($i; $i< 10, $i++) {
or
foreach($a as $b) {
or
while($someCondition){
And at the end always a closing curly bracket:
}
BR
With this <?php ..... ?> inside html code, you are (probably) showing html code inside php file. So basically you have (for example) a HTML template in php file, hence the php opening/closing tags. So while you are tehnically in a PHP script, you are actually showing something like:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo "Some title" ?></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1><?php echo "Hello World" ?></h1>
</body>
</html>
If you can, I'd suggest to use a templating engine for this, like twig.
So in your case, you are fetching result from DB, looping over it and shwoing it in HTML table.
BR
PHP has a cool way of deciding to show content. Instead of echo'ing HTML based on a variable, you can use the PHP <?php if (...): ?> html here <?php endif; ?> and the HTML inside will show only if that if condition is met. It's the same thing here, except with a while instead of an if
A PHP while loop works like this:
while($x === true){
//execute some code
}
This will execute the code inside the while loop an infinite number of times, or until the $x variable is changed (within the loop) to equal true. The opening and closing brackets, { and } are what determine where the while loop starts and ends. In your code, PHP is printing out all of those <tr> and <td> tags until mysqli_fetch_assoc($resultSet) no longer returns a result. The line <?php }?> just tells the program, "the loop stops here, go back to the start"
I've created a notification script and I have a page called notificationCenter.php where the admin user can view ALL the notifications. It will display which users have read which notifications, when it was posted and who by. Everything works fine with it, the only issue is when I go onto the notificationCenter.php page to view all notifications, the table doesn't display the results. However I run an if statement to check if there are any results and I don't get any errors. Here's my code, I'm sure I've done something stupid but I can't see what it is, I'd really appreciate any help!.
//Get User ID
$id = $_SESSION['user_id'];
//Select * Notifications
$notQuery = $serviceConn->query("SELECT * FROM db759709251.notifications WHERE `not_viewedby` NOT LIKE '%$id%' ");
<h4>Nofication Center</h4>
<?php if($notQuery->rowCount()) { ?>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th scope="col">Status</th>
<th scope="col">User</th>
<th scope="col">Notification</th>
<th scope="col">Date</th>
<th scope="col">Viewed By</th>
<th scope="col"></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php
while ($row = $notQuery->fetch()) {
$notid = $row['not_id'];
$notUser = $row['not_user'];
$notMsg = $row['not_msg'];
$notStatus = $row['not_status'];
$notDate = $row['not_date'];
$notViewedby = $row['not_viewedby'];
?>
<tr>
<td style="background-color: <?php echo $statusColour; ?>" data-label="Status"><?php echo $notStatus; ?></td>
<td data-label="User"><?php echo $notUser; ?></td>
<td data-label="Notification"><?php echo $notMsg; ?></td>
<td data-label="Date"><?php echo $notDate; ?></td>
<td data-label="Viewed By"><?php echo $notViewedby; ?></td>
<td data-label="">
<form action="" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="notificationID" value="<?php echo $notid; ?>" >
<input type="hidden" name="notificationBy" value="<?php echo $notViewedby; ?>">
<input type="submit" name="read" value="Dismiss!">
</form>
</td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
</tbody>
</table>
<?php } else { ?>
<p>You currently have no notifications, please check back later.</p>
<?php } ?>
Now obviously there is a lot of HTML in the middle for styling and layouts, but I didn't think it was important enough as it shouldn't have any effect on the output of the table. But as you can see the if statement SHOULD print that there are no notifications and to check back later, and it doesn't so in theory there should be records to display.
I have a database of players and their info in mysql. I have created a table in dreamweaver displaying all the players and their info. I want to display a player profile (which is stored in mysql) seperate from this table and want this information to change when the mouse is over a player in the table.
Is this possible and how do i go about it? Any help or links to tutorials will be greatly received!
I have a Screenshot of my page but am unable to post due to reputation if anyone wants to visualise my idea maybe i could send it them?
<div class="playerInfoContainer">
<table width="95%" border="0" cellpadding="3">

Firstly, pre-build all of the displayed mouse-over data into separate XML/JSON files. That way there's no load on a database to display 15 items at once when someone goes nuts with their cursor.
Secondly, use jquery to display a mouseover event to populate a div on the page with the separate HTML files.
As long as your jquery is correct and your css skills are up to snuff, the details will change as required and maintain the correct look/feel as it goes from one 'team/squad' to the next.
I am looping through an array and building tables. The HTML is then sent to DOMPDF. However, DOMPDF will not create the PDF if the HTML is ill formatted. I assume that is what is happening in my case. Here is my loop:
<?php foreach($credits as $credit) : ?>
<?php if($credit['credit_type'] == "short") : ?>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="margin:0px 0px 15px 0px;">
<tr>
<td><strong><?php echo $credit['category_title']; ?></strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $credit['credit_heading']; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($credit['credit_type'] == "long") : ?>
<?php if($credit['category_title'] != $oldvalue) : ?>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="margin:0px 0px 15px 0px;">
<tbody>
<?php endif; ?>
<tr>
<?php if($credit['category_title'] != $oldvalue) : ?>
<td width="25%"><strong><?php echo trim($credit['category_title']); ?></strong></td>
<td width="25%"><strong>Title</strong></td>
<td width="25%"><strong>Role</strong></td>
<td width="25%"><strong>Director</strong></td>
<?php endif; ?>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="25%"><?php echo $credit['credit_heading'];?></td>
<td width="25%"><?php echo $credit['credit_title']; ?></td>
<td width="25%"><?php echo $credit['credit_role']; ?></td>
<td width="25%"><?php echo $credit['credit_director']; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php if($credit['category_title'] != $oldvalue) : ?>
</tbody>
</table>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php $oldvalue = $credit['category_title']; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
I cannot for the life of me work out which tag I am not closing. If anyone could give some insight, that would be fab!
Specifically, the loop is creating rows that show some headings, and then spit out futher rows whenever the category title changes.
This may be a simple solution but perhaps not the best:
I recommend you to use PHP's Tidy class (eventually you'll have to install it first...)
Here is the link for the Tidy class Manual.
At the first line:
ob_start();
This command buffers everything what is outputed by your follwing script.
The code below should be added at the end of your file, or there where you want to show the output.
It first gets the buffer with ob_get_contents() and than it cleans the code up.
Note that you'll eventually have to change the configuration parameters for your needs, there are really very much.
$raw_output = ob_get_clean();
$config = array('indent' => true, 'output-xhtml' => true, 'wrap' => 0);
$tidy = new Tidy;
$tidy->parseString($raw_output, $config, 'utf8');
$tidy->cleanRepair();
echo $tidy;
This Example Code was modified by the original version of the example on php.net.
Hope that helps you.
It's a bit difficult to parse without known more about your data. For example, why is a table for "short" credit open and closed with the record, but the table for "long" credit is conditional on the previous record? Is it because you have a flat data structure so related data shows up as a series of consecutive rows? If that's the case things would be easier if the data were a bit more normalized. I.e. you could iterate through each credit record then through the details separately. Any possibility of fixing your data structure?
Analyzing the code you have, your problem appears to be in the logic for the second section of the code. You are setting the value of the variable $oldvalue at the end of the loop. This is after the logic that closes the table. So if you parse two records that have the same category title the second record will output it's table rows completely outside a table (never mind that it will also have a completely empty row). Additionally, if you have a short credit type following a long the table will never be closed.
That being said, working with what you have I'm guessing you may need something like the following:
// build a dummy "previous" record for the first iteration so the conditionals don't break.
<?php $previous_credit = array('credit_type'=>null,'category'=>null); ?>
<?php foreach($credits as $credit) : ?>
<?php if($credit['credit_type'] == "short" || ($previous_credit['credit_type'] == "long" && $previous_credit['category'] != $credit['category'])) : ?>
</tbody>
</table>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($credit['credit_type'] == "short") : ?>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="margin:0px 0px 15px 0px;">
<tr>
<td><strong><?php echo $credit['category_title']; ?></strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $credit['credit_heading']; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($credit['credit_type'] == "long") : ?>
<?php if($credit['category_title'] != $previous_credit['category_title']) : ?>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="margin:0px 0px 15px 0px;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="25%"><strong><?php echo trim($credit['category_title']); ?></strong></td>
<td width="25%"><strong>Title</strong></td>
<td width="25%"><strong>Role</strong></td>
<td width="25%"><strong>Director</strong></td>
</tr>
<?php endif; ?>
<tr>
<td width="25%"><?php echo $credit['credit_heading'];?></td>
<td width="25%"><?php echo $credit['credit_title']; ?></td>
<td width="25%"><?php echo $credit['credit_role']; ?></td>
<td width="25%"><?php echo $credit['credit_director']; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php $previous_credit = $credit; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<!-- one last table close for the last record -->
</tbody></table>
(That's some ugly code and I don't have time to keep revising it, so ... community wiki in case anyone else wants to clean it up.)
