"MySQL - Displaying data in a table..."

There you go Mod.

Just as you asked!

Anyway.

Does anyone know about MySQL and displaying the data in a table?

I've got a basic script to display it like this (http://www.phi11ip.com/mysql/display.php) but I want to be able to display it out of the rows and something like it shows at the bottom of the page...

Does anybody know how to do anything like this? If you can give me the general idea of what to do with a small example or a link to one I should be able to modify it and get it working...

Thanks.

Oh, I forgot about that.

I think I found something earlier on, just gotta test it out now.

There are lots of ways to grab and format data from a database. You can't really ask someone to do it for you, just read examples of code, get some skills and figure it out yourself.

$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "o", "o");

mysql_select_db("o",$db);

$result = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 7;" )

or die("SELECT Error: ".mysql_error());

# Loop through each row of data.
while ($a_row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

print "\n";

print "\n";

print "\n";

print "\n";

print "\n";

print "

Subject: $a_row[subject]	Post ID: $a_row[id]
Date: $a_row[date]
size=2>".nl2br($a_row [text])."

\n";

print "
\n";

}

mysql_close($db);



?>

I've got this at the moment.

I can't see how it would combine as yours is different.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

OK, thanks.

Now I've gotta work out how to combine that with what I've got!

$user = "";
$pass = "";
$host = "";
$dbase = "";

$tablename = "";

mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass);
mysql_select_db($dbase);

?>

$query = mysql_query("select * from $tablename");
$info = mysql_fetch_object($query);
echo "";
foreach ($info as $key=>$value) {
?>

}
echo "";
foreach ($info as $key=>$value) {
?>

}
echo "";
while ($info = mysql_fetch_object($query)) {
echo "";
foreach ($info as $key=>$value) {
?>

}
echo "";
}
echo "";
// you fear my code.
?>

How would I disable HTML/PHP from being processed by the server when it calls the data up/submits it to/from the MySQL database?

I've had a quick look on the net and I can't find anything, I'm gonna look a bit more. I'll post back if I find anything that works.

Excellent.

I've managed to do the edit script now!

So I think I've managed to master the basics of MySQL now. My next task is to make that football site run off of MySQL so that matches can be searched etc etc.

Lots to do but it shouldn't be too bad, it's just basically a lot of entering, viewing and editing of data...

The link must have been broken for ages, still nobody tells me until today! You're the second person to point it to me today!

Must change that!

Just a little pointer ... look into replacing SELECT with UPDATE when you make the MySQL Query.

Just to let you know, at the footer of each of your pages where you have:

"Site designed by me, if you want stuff, ask me. If you want something like a video, take it. Just host it elsewhere!"

The link for the 'ask me' text contains 'index.php' twice. Hense the 404 when you click it (nice 404 BTW).
