MySQL & PHP

Hi everybody, me again :slight_smile:

I got the MySQL tables to work at last. What I have now is a table called news, in which there are 4 fields and two rows of data. See the image below:

[EDIT] Image taken out due to server downtime[/EDIT]

So I have this script to put the data in a table.


<?php
mysql_connect("hostname","username","password");
mysql_select_db("mydatabase");

$qr = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news");

$nrows = mysql_num_rows($qr);
for ($i=0; $i < $nrows; $i++) {
  $row = mysql_fetch_array($qr);
}

?>
<html><head></head><body>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" width="50%" cellspacing="0" height="124">
  <tr>
    <td width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFCC" height="21"><? echo "<b>".$row['titel']."</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;".$row['datum'];?></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="103"><? echo $row['inhoud']."<br>";?></td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

This works fine so far, see an example of one the created table here. The problem is, how can I automatically add a table (in the PHP file, not in the database) when I add a new row of data to the database ? I had one row first, and it worked fine, but when I added one, the script I have now shows the second one one instead of the first.

Can someone help me out please ?

This code should work:


<html><head></head><body>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" width="50%" cellspacing="0" height="124">

<?
mysql_connect("hostname","username","password");
mysql_select_db("mydatabase");

$qr = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news");

$nrows = mysql_num_rows($qr);
for ($i=0; $i < $nrows; $i++) {
  $row = mysql_fetch_array($qr);
  print "<tr><td width=\"100%\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFCC\" height=\"21\"><b>" . $row['titel'] . "</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;" . $row['datum'] . "</td></tr>";
  print "<tr><td width=\"100%\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\" height=\"103\">" . $row['inhoud'] . "</td></tr>";
}
?>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Thanks Jubba :slight_smile: ! Works like a charm ! :thumb:

Hey Jubba, is it possible to get this auto-add feature into Flash (MX)? I know I might be asking a lot, but it would make my life so much better …

yes but its not really a simple process… i have to go now, I’ll give you a hand later on. :slight_smile:

Thanks m8 :slight_smile:

replace the 2 print lines by
output="";

output.="&titel".$i."=".$row[‘titel’];
output.="&content".$i."=".$row[‘inhoud’];

print $output;

(not tested…)

then in flash, use the titel1="…", titel2="…", content1="…",
variables as you want…

yeah what he said. Sorry I couldn’t get to this sooner. :slight_smile:

Don’t worry about it :slight_smile: Thanks guys :slight_smile:
