Trying to echo the data from mysql db to a standard html table and I want the number of rows and columns in the table to be adjustable using variables ex: $table_rows = # and $table_columns = # Can someone help me accomplish this? I have the data from the db echoing out to the web page, but having difficulty finding the code to output it dynamically so I can adjust the number of rows and columns in the html page accordingly.

PHP Code:


			
echo "<table border=\"0\">";

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) 



{

echo "<tr><td>";

echo "<td> <img src=\"machform/data/form_1/files/".$row['element_3']."\" border=\"1\" alt=\"".$row['element_1']."\" title=\"".$row['element_1']."\">";

echo "Price: $$row[element_4]";

echo "<br />";

echo "</td>";

echo "</table>";

}

It works fine for me. Did you embed it in a table?

Yeah, did that, but it doesn't work independently (meaning I have to adjust the pagination code as well)

Aside from that, I have figured out an alternative, but I really do appreciate your help Null.

Here's what my next issue is:

Code:

<?php
echo "<table>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

echo "<img src=\"machform/data/form_1/files/".$row['element_3']."\" border=\"1\" alt=\"".$row['element_1']."\" title=\"".$row['element_1']."\">";
echo $row[element_1];

}

echo "</table>";

?>

I need to echo the text namely $row[element_1] under the image and it's not happening...Tried adding the <br /> and <p /> tags but it botches up the entire output.

Have you a clue with this?

**lizciz** · 02:02 PM

Try adding the <tr>, <td>, </td> and </tr> tags...
Or remove the table tags. You can't have a table without any rows or cells, I'm surprised you got any output at all.

**Brian07002** · 01:45 PM

yep, that was the problem, it's just I've been away from doing the actual work for a couple of years. The table part was just to create the table without rows or columns and have the while loop through and display the mysql results into it.
