Display query result in a table

Question

I have a MySQL query with over 50 return results. Now I need to display the results in a table with 3 rows and 3 columns.

Something like this:

Answer 1

try something like:

 echo "<table>";
 while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($r, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
 $name   = $row['name'];
 $address = $row['address'];
 $content = $row['content'];
 echo "<tr><td>".$name."</td><td>".$address."</td><td>".$content."</td></tr>";
 }
 echo "</table>";

this example will print in table all the result of the query. if you want to limit only to some results, so limit the sql query. for example:

 $q = "SELECT name, address, content FROM mytable limit 50"; 

to get each content,name, address in TD, and 3 of mycontent(content, name, address) in a TR try this:

$c= mysql_query("select COUNT(name) from mytable");
$n=mysql_fetch_array($c);
$maxname= $n[0];
$i=0;
$tr=0;
echo "<table>";
while ($tr < $maxname)
{ 
echo "<tr>";
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($r, MYSQLI_ASSOC) and $i<$tr) {
$name   = $row['name'];
$address = $row['address'];
$content = $row['content'];
echo "<td>".$name." | ".$address." | ".$content."</td>";
$i++;
}
echo "</tr>";
$tr= $tr+3;
}
echo "</table>";

Answer 2

You can store in a variable if u r planning to use it in a function or you can just print it. Either way...

$q = "SELECT name, address, content FROM mytable"; 
$r = mysqli_query($dbc, $q); 

$str = "<table>";

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($r, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
    $str .= "<tr>";
    $str .= "<td>" . $row['name'] . "</td>";
    $str .= "<td>" . $row['address'] . "</td>";
    $str .= "<td>" . $row['content'] . "</td>";
    $str .= "</tr>";
}

$str .= "</table>"

echo $str;

There you go!

Answer 3

use a for-loop to iterate your $mycontent-array:

EDIT: I was made aware that $mycontent is built differently than I first assumed:

$h = "<table>"; // we are going to build the table in $h

$maxcount = count($mycontent); // get the number of values within the array 

for ($i = 0;$i < $maxcount;$i++) { // counting $i up from 0 to $maxcount -1 ...

   $h.= "<tr><td>{$mycontent[$i]}</td></tr>"; // build row

}

$h.= "</table>"; // close the table
echo $h; // echo it

Try something like this. It places your values in an easy to use associative array. Then you just loop through.

<?php
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($r, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
    $values[] = array(
        'name' => $row['name'],
        'address' => $row['address'],
        'content' => $row['content']
    );
}
?>
<table>
<?php
foreach($values as $v){
    echo '
    <tr>
        <td>'.$v['name'].'</td>
        <td>'.$v['address'].'</td>
        <td>'.$v['content'].'</td>
    </tr>
    ';
}
?>
</table>
