PHP :: Display Sql Query Output In Html Table

Display Database Output In Mutli Column Html Table
I am building an HTML form using data from a mysql query. The data to be displayed on the form is 1 column from the db - but multiple rows. Because there are many rows (well, only about 100+) in the table I want to be able to put 2 or 3 (space permitting) rows from the result on each row of the HTML table with a checkbox beside each entry from the db table. The idea is that the user will scroll down the list and check up to 4 or 5 boxes before submitting the form and I didn't want them to have to scroll ALLLL the way to the bottom (100+ rows). I understand how to get data from a db table and put it into an html table, but I cannot figur out how to put more than 1 row from the result on to the same row of the html table.

I hope I haven't confused anyone reading this -- If I am way off base with what I am trying to do please give me alternatives. I am trying to avoid paginating the data for a couple reasons a) clicking a next and/or prev button is more hassle than just scolling down a list and b) the data in the column being displayed is only about 35 - 40 characters and it seems to be if i only placed one result row on each html table row, there would be a lot of wasted space.

Display Results From Query In HTML-table
I'm working with PHP3 and Oracle 8. Can anyone tell me how to display the results from a query into my HTML-table?

Display HTML Before PHP Output?
I have a menu that outputs an RSS newsfeed using a PHP script (CaRP -
however it ALWAYS displays the PHP
outputted HTML before the embedded HTML. This happens regardless of the
order; HTML first PHP second, or visa versa. I am assuming that the PHP
engine writes the PHP output first by default??

Is there a way to force the PHP to output in the order it is
"written"...at least, can I control it?

Tricky Html Table Output
I have a bunch of Result objects in an array. I want to output a summary table for those results. A Result object has the following attributes:

1. species
2. tissue
3. stage
4. gene
5. sex
6. replicates
7. value

The db query returns the rows sorted by species, then tissue, then stage, then gene, then sex. The object attributes will be the table headings (<TH>).
Each row of the <table> will be divided into 3 subrows- 1 for each sex: male, female, mixed ( it's all PG here!) .

All of the above is straightforward. However, I would like to print the value of attributes 1-4 only if it is different from the row above: ie

Species |Tissue|Stage|Gene|Sex ...
bug|ear|first|brca|male
...|...|...|...|female
...|...|second|...|male
spider|toe|creepy|hox2|female

The only php solution I've come up with is putting all the object attributes into a multi-dimensional array and then checking if current value=old value as I nested loop my way through the array. Needless to say, not very elegant.

Any thoughts on how this could be cleaner? I can just output the table with all the values filled in (that's easy), but I believe the relavant data pops out more if there is less verbiage.

Display Query Results In A Table
$sql = "SELECT name FROM employee_tb;

// assuming i have 8 results

how can i display the results from this query in a table with 3 rows each column?

Getting Results To Display In Two Columns Of A HTML Table

Grab Content From HTML Table And Place Into MySQL Table?
I am in the process of helping a co-worker upgrade some of his old static html pages into dynamic MySQL driven pages. He currently has a lot of pages with huge tables displaying data. Does anyone know if there is a script or class that can convert a table to a .sql file for upload?

Display MySQL Output Multiple Times
Hey, being a newbie at all this, I was wondering what's wrong with my code:

Output Into Table
I'd like to output some query results in a table, each result in it's own column and row. Here's an example --

***********************************
IF ($result){
echo "<center><table><tr><td>";
while ($r = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$number = $r["stock_number"];
$description = $r["item_description"];
echo "$number<br></td>";
echo "<td>$description<br>";
}
echo "</td></tr></table>";
} else
{
echo "No data.";

Except it doesn't work correctly. What is the proper way to accomplish this?

How To Output From File Into Table?
I have this bit of code that opens a file, reads it line by line, and
prints the filename into an image on screen, so i get a big list of
images on the page.

However I want it to output into a table so I can have 2 photos side by
side as it goes through, is there any way of manipulating the code to
output one line into one cell and the next line into the next cell then
back to the first cell again???

<?
$data = file('gallery/captions');

foreach ($data as $line)
{
list ($q, $a) = explode('|' , trim($line) );
echo "<img src='gallery/images/$q' height=100><br>";
echo "$a<br>";
}

?>

Output Without HTML
I'm making a comment system and I need to somehow stop users being able to mess up my page with PHP or HTML within their comment. I'm thinking of some complicated string replacement system when they input (Or output) to remove any kind of HTML.

Limiting/Structuring Query Data Output
Let's say I have a table called "customers" which will display many many results.
What I want to be able to do is output their names in a structured table when a query is presented. For example:

Customer 1, Customer 2, Customer 3, Customer 4
Customer 5, Customer 6, Customer 7, Customer 8

... where it will always revert to the next row after every 4 results, continuing as such.

ASP.NET & PHP - Php Xml Table Display
I hope that there is someone fluent in both php and asp.net who can help me bridge a gap.

In asp.net it is fairly easy to take a simple xml file and display it as a table [or datagrid], using something like:

void Page_Load()
{
String xmlFilename = @"C:...example.xml";
DataSet newDataSet = new DataSet();
newDataSet.ReadXml(xmlFilename);
DataGrid1.DataSource = newDataSet;
DataGrid1.DataBind();
}

followed by:

<asp:DataGrid id="DataGrid1" runat="server"></asp:DataGrid>

I would like to know how to do this in php.

Grab Output Html
I was wondering if I included something like "includes/encodepage.php" into mainfile.php ( Which gets included by almost every php file on my site ) If you could grab the output html into a variable so I can process it before it gets sent to the clients browser.

I want to make a script that encodes the pages with javascript before it gets sent to the client, but I need to figure this out first..

Compress Html Output With Php?
ob_start( 'ob_gzhandler' );
But I'm looking for something that removes all line breaks and extra
whitespace in the html before sending it to the visitor's browser. Is
this possible?

No Output In Calling HTML ?
When I include a script in my html I don't get any output back in the
calling page.
The script is on a remote location for the html page. Example given:

myscript.php:
<?PHP
echo 'Yoohoo, here I am'
// and the rest of the script writes an entry into a tracker db so I know it
was called succesfully
?>

mypage.html:
<html>
<head>
<title>Just a page</title>
</head>
<body>
<script language = 'PHP' src =
</body>
</html>

Html Output Getting Garbled
My Windows machine running PHP Version 4.3.4, Apache, mysql, Zend IDE
has developed a strange problem whereas the html code coming out of
php sometimes gets garbled in unpredicatable ways, i.e. my html page
shows gibberish or I get a server error altogether, which is traced
from log file to garbled html code.

Has anyone seen this? I wanted to fix this, before I do a complete
reinstall of php.

Html Output Lines
given that php
echo '<div>'
echo 'whatever'
echo '</div>'
echo '<div>'
echo 'whatever'
echo '</div>'
echo '<div>'
echo 'whatever'
echo '</div>'
echo '<div>'
echo 'whatever'
echo '</div>'

the output html is

<div>whatever</div><div>whatever</div><div>whatever</div><div>whatever</div>

whereas I would like to have as output the following (It's better in
order to read and understand the html code)

<div>
whatever
</div>
<div>
whatever
</div>
<div>
whatever
</div>
<div>
whatever
</div>

How should I do ?

Display Query
I am trying to select all from and display result in table form on screen, then to link to an update query. I am getting the following error

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING on from the following line

The script is a copy and paste from PHP Simple only making changes to the record names. Code:

PHP & Table Display Problems
Simple PHP script which selects data from a DB and outputs the data into a nice simple html table formatted using css classes. Now the odd bit..

Works fine on my machine everytime but on others the HTML formatting goes to pot on the odd line, like the font is too big, or the background color has gone, or a cell is missing which puls the remaining cells one in from the right misaligning the table.
Now the even odder bit... When you view source on the bad page, the HTML is absolutely perfect. Any ideas?

Saving Output As An .html File
I have a script which takes about 20 or so fields as input and creates a big table out of all those. I want to log what happens and I was wondering if there's some way I can save each table as an .html file in my directory.

Output Large Arrays To Html
I'm looking for ways to 'echo' a single large associative array
repeatedly w/ as little overhead as possible.

I'm developing a simple subscription form, two steps, one page. In
step 1 the subscriber selects their country from a drop down menu
whose name and value pairs are based on ISO standards. In step 2 user
has the option to return to 1 and edit.

I mined the ascii data from the ISO Web page src, edited it, and
dumped it to MySQL, intending to dynamically generate my menu. But now
I'm concerned that every time a subscriber wishes to edit input, they
will experience a lag in the middle of the page while some 200+ select
options are echo'ed to the screen.

I've attempted to solve that concern using the following technique in
a global scope:

if (!isset($huge_assoc_array))
$huge_assoc_array = mine_from_db();

Does this accomplish the intended result, reducing print-to-screen
time on requests beyond the first? If subscriber clicks input button
'edit,' returning to step one, will mine_from_db() execute again?

Not sure of the answer, I've considered two alternative techniqes:
a) $_SESSION['huge_assoc_array'] = mine_from_db(); and
b) using Curl or similar to mine, on each request, from iso.org.

If you've dealt with this I would love to hear your success and
failure stories.

Wrapping HTML Form Output.
I'm trying to use PHP to wrap the output of an HTML form before it goes
into a precompiled C cgi script.

Essentially, the company that I work for uses a purchased precompiled c
program for their shopping cart. This C program stores order
information, and when an order is processed and approved, records the
transaction and sends a template email to the customer with an invoice
describing their purchase. Since we're going to be selling a new
software product soon, they've asked me to write a script into the
website that will include License Keys to the product the customer has
purchased along with all other data about the order. The C program
DOES have functionality for custom variables, but it they've all got to
be neatly packaged and set up for the C code BEFORE the customer
completes the order, and I don't want these values to be evident at
that point, because a simple right click and View Source would expose
the keys to a non-purchasing client.

(I'm also going to mention in code a php file I'll call keyGen.php,
which will have one method called gen that will read a string, (which
I'll give from a cookie) and generate a key. I realize that reading a
cookie ain't a good way to do this, but I want to solve this problem
first then I'll find a way around the cookie problem).

So, what I'm thinking of doing is redirecting the Checkout button's
form, which previously pointed to the C CGI script, to point to a PHP
file, which I'll call Intercept.php, This php file will examine all the
form's inputs, repackage them, then use putenv and passthru to call the
C CGI with all the original form's variables as well as any new ones I
want to create. So essentially the code WAS

<html>
<form name=checkout method="post" action="/cgi-bin/shopper">
<input name="blah1">
<input name="blah2">
</form></html>

and now I need

<html>
<form name=checkout method="post" action="intercept.php">
<input name="blah1">
<input name="blah2">
</form></html>

and intercept.php as something like

<?php
include "keyGen.php";
$keyVal = gen($_COOKIE['basket']);
$keyName = "PASSLicKey";
$toInclude = "http://www.notawebsite.com/cgi-bin/shopper";
$toArgue = $keyName."+".$keyVal;

Image Creation And Html Output ?
I have a form, at the moment, justa text area which a user can type into.

This text is then taken and turned into .png and displayed to the user... eventually i will allow them to change fonts, colours etc etc.

Now, when i take the form POST information I have to send the correct headers "image/png" to create my image, but I want to bea ble to create my image without loosing the Html on my page aswell, so the user could keep changing the text without having to navigate backwards. Code:

Speeding Up Query And Display?
I have the following query which unfortunately has to grab all records in a table (well over 3000) to display in a multiple select box. Code:

SQL Query And Display Problem
1. I have two SQL tables. I will call them employees and departments:

EMP: LAST_NAME, FIRST_NAME, DEPTNM
DEPT: NUM, NAME

Input: text string FIND

Output: the LAST_NAME, FIRST_NAME and department name NAME (link DEPTNM
in EMP to NUM in DEPT) of all employees whose LAST_NAME or whose
FIRST_NAME contains the string FIND in a case-insensitive manner.
Example: Employees with LAST_NAME = "Sandleburg" are listed when
input FIND = "BURG".

budget, from table:

ACCOUNTS: DEPTNM, BUDGET

AJAX To Display New Records In A Table
Instead of refreshing the entire page to show the new fields in a
table, I was wondering if it would be possible to use AJAX to display
the new records in a table.

For example:

Messages are entered into the DB. I use PHP to create a table that
displays the messages.

Instead of refreshing the entire page to show the table with new
messages, how can I use AJAX to show the new messages in the table
without refreshing the entire page?

How To Display Random Data Table Row
I would like to be able to display a random database row in an ad system I am thinking about developing. Here is MySQL code that I create:

What Is The Best Way To Display Specific Info From A Table?
I am hosting a youth sport site and I want to display schedules by select teams.

I thought that I would want a drop down menu to select one of our 35 divisions, then a secondary search by team of that previously selected division menu.

My schedule is in a table with the fields:
* division
* date
* time
* home_team
* h_score
* visiting_team
* v_score
* field

I see problems, since secondary drop down menu would have to search two different fields. Any suggestions and hint to where I would even start?

Dyamic Table Display For Picture Presentation
I am trying to practice good web coding technique and stay away from the dread iframes. (Just like the bogey monster under your bed when you were 5, but hidden in cyberspace =/ ) So here is an overview of what i am trying to do. Values are sent to the Picture Window using a function.

Corresponding values trigger images to show up in the Picture Window dynamically. When the user clicks on pic3 the value is sent to the Picture window; this displays a larger image of "pic 3" is shown in the Picture Window. The variable passed corresponds to the images the user clicked on. For example the user click on pic3 a value of pic3-large.jpg is sent to the getPicture function which displays a larger image in that window.

General layout of the function is written below. The question that I have is how can I capture the user clicks to send a value to the function getPicture($image)? My next question is how can I get pic3-large.jpg to show up in the pic3 table, while keeping all other parts static? The table id for the picture viewer is picture_view. I could use an iframe but I rather do this in PHP. Since the support for iframes is rather buggy; and really isn’t a cross browser solution. Here is a picture to better explain what im trying to do and below it is some code:
